Most of my followers are spam. This would be a nice feature and admission on Twitter's part.

i've been trying to raise this same issue with a site called "soundcloud". side issue, but the idea i had for that was that perhaps users could be voted down to a point that triggers a vote to ban them for abusing the system.

another idea would be to have no notification to the user who has been followed, thereby dropping the incentive for the spammer to randomly add people.

Oh, we're calling them Spitters. I like it. I was calling them barnacles. I can call them spitters, though. either way :-)
