Is the @spam account affiliated with Twitter?
There is an account on Twitter called @spam (http://twitter.com/spam) that claims to be affiliated with Twitter Headquarters. A number of people are reporting spam to this Twitter Id - http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%4...
Can someone from Twitter confirm whether or not this is an "official" channel for reporting spam to Twitter support? I only bring this up because it seems to be misleading people (I've never heard Crystal or anyone else from Twitter mention @spam as a way of reporting spam). For all we know this could have been set up by a spammer who wants spam reports to disappear into the ether.

Inappropriate?I'd like to know if this is an official account or not, as well.
If @spam is associated with Twitter, it'd be really nice to have it auto-follow back. The reason is, I'd much rather DM @spam then post it publicly (with a link to the spammer's profile on my public profile!).
Hopefully a Twitter employee will get around to saying if this is an official account or not, soon.
I’m hating twitter spammers.

Inappropriate?Yes, it is indeed affiliated with Twitter.
