    Seems like the only thing you can do is block the spammer, does it then work like Craigslist flagging , that is if enough people block someone does there account become deactivated ?

    You can always send the SPIT to: @spam on Twitter, but they must get overworked on all the Spitters who are submitted. Too many, Too manual work!
