How do you call Spam on Twitter? Right Spit. And how do you call a Spammer on Twitter, right a Spitter.

The last couple of words are the trending topics at this moment. Clearly the Spitter is trying to get more traffic by including these in the Tweet, so the Spit comes up whenever somebody is searching for one of these topics.

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!
