My two cents
Facebook tagging review is a good feature to stop spam tagging but it only works if you and your friends do not friend those spam profiles and manually enable the tag review setting.
If you are annoyed by the facebook messages of “[your friend] was tagged in [spam profile]’s album”, do yourself and your friends a favor, send this article to your friends. Ask them to review their tags.
Hopefully, one day, we can have spam free Facebook wall.
