Please stop the TwitterBot army--Twitter Spam Must Stop!
Please Stop The Twitter Bots! Every day I'm inundated with requests from people to befriend me, only to find out that they have over 3-4,000 people they are following already--obviously they are bots or spammers trying to get a following. The easy solution is to simply give me their details when you send the email to me--instead of just saying "Blah Blah wants to be your friend," give me that persons details right in the email such as how many people they follow, how many friends they have, their profile, etc. Please don't make me have to go all the way to the Twitter site just to find out this is a bot request.
I’m very frustrated

Inappropriate?I'd love to see more details in the New Follower email. FYI - we have a discussion on a similar topic over here:

This solves the problem

I wouldn't even need the "suspect spammer" wording--I just want to see how many people they follow, how many people follow them and maybe the last 3 tweets right in the email. I have to keep asking "how hard could this be to implement?!" -
erm, no, I want a link so I can say "go away evil spammer" right there in the email- I'm all for the info in the email also.

Inappropriate?I would also like to see at the very least the number of people the requester is following as well as the number of followers they have.
I’m optimistic as well

Inappropriate?Nice and easy solution.
A more tech thing:
Such accounts can be community-banned.
Add a "This person Spams" button.
When enough people click it the person won't be able to follow more accounts untill it provides and verifies a cell-phone number.
