Much needed Twitter function: Report Spam

imageIt’s unbelievable how sad and desperate spammers are. Just like they’re flooding emails with shit, they are now all over Twitter. I get at least 4 spam followers every day, I block them directly. But what I think we need immediately is a “Report Spam” function on Twitter. I don’t see why such functionality is not available yet. If the twitter team cannot afford to hire account reviewers at the moment (people who approve accounts) it can be an automatic algorithm such that if an account is reported 30 or 40 times for exapmle, it gets deleted or suspended. Really simple.

Watch out for those spammers guys, don’t follow suspicious users and do not click on suspicious links.

I don't think your suggestion of an automated system is sound. I can have 30 of my followers report you and you get automatically deleted :P not good
