I have a feeling they put some sort of filter to prevent refspam and that would affect one of my primary submission methods. It's an easy filter for them to apply and I'm surprised they didn't do it sooner. As for the long run, I can't tell if its good or not. I'm honestly just seeing different spam based pages all over the place still so its not that great. I think this latest update just hit up one of my primary submission methods so that's why I was affected so much.
