A "Report Spam" button or some equivalent is absolutely necessary. In order to be fair a human check is also necessary. Although we could think of an automated public "flagged as spam" notice on suspected home pages once the number of spam reports reaches a certain point, the process of closing an account should always been taken by a responsible human being.
I’m positive: can't wait to sees this online.

Inappropriate?Awesome idea. Let's all pitch in to stop Twitter Spam (Twam)
I’m sick of Twam (twitter spam)

Inappropriate?Add a spam flag to POSTS. I think there are LOTS of newbies out there, people who want to use twitter, but don't realize their posts are spam. Get those flagged a few times, and they'll 'get it.' If that happens too many times, THEN flag the profile.

I don't really agree with that. If they're overposting, then just don't follow them. But if they're using Twitter exclusively as an outlet for advertising, then they should be flaggable as spammers. -
Inappropriate?Flagging posts would be a better idea, as Margaret mentioned. Also, limiting the ability to mark (such as a usage within time period limit) would cut down on trolls.
I’m hopeful this is implemented.

Inappropriate?PLEASE. i have to block about 5 people a day who are following about 2,000 people with no followers, and their only update is "i have a great business opportunity for you!"
annoying.
I’m frustrated!

Inappropriate?Looks like we can now officially report spammers by sending an @reply to the @spam account on Twitter.
At least, that's what a recent update from Crystal in another thread says.
The recommended syntax seems to be:
@spam @spammerusername OptionalMsg

Inappropriate?We can now also report spammers by sending a Direct Message to Twitter's @spam account.
To do this, you'll first need to follow http://twitter.com/spam. You can then send a direct message to @spam either by:
1. Typing a direct message from the "What are you doing?" box
Ex. d spam @spammy1, @spammy2 are spambots!
2. Sending a direct message from your phone
Ex. d spam @spammy3 is yet another spambot
3. Composing a direct message at http://twitter.com/direct_messages -
Inappropriate?"Rachael329 (Rachael329) is now following your updates on Twitter."
yes sure.

Inappropriate?Over the past 10 hours, I've blocked over 200 spammers. Manually. It never ends. When does it stop? At what point do you just throw in the towel and say "I like Twitter, but this really sucks?" and then delete your account? Every 10 minutes, a few more spammers start following me and if I don't block them, it increases exponentially. Seriously, WTF?
I’m pissed

Inappropriate?Oh yes please! I even found a spammer's other 4 accounts, and guess what.. said spammer does the same thing to youtube pages!
I’m anti-spam!

Inappropriate?i'd like to second that. found a bunch of blatant spammers and have no way of flagging them is frustrating
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Yes! It we all really need some easy way to report about spam accounts.
