Task 31 assigned to mikehale by alex

great anti spam idea:

we create an admin page which lists the last 25 urls (both short and long). Next to each is a link to mark the url as spam (rather than deleting it).

When a url gets marked as spam it disappears from this list. Much more importantly when somebody arrives on such a url we re-direct to a new page on bloat.me where we tell people what happened.

If we do this early every spamer directs people to that new spam landing page on our site and we can actually gain users :)

    I like it. I noticed that the model is already setup to handle flagging a url as spam, so this should be pretty easy. Psyched to be learning more about rails!
