Do you have to block them, or is just not reciprocating the follow enough? I've been doing the latter and so far have no problems with spam.

I'm not sure if I have to, but I have the impression that these spammers look at other spammers' lists for potential new targets, so keeping myself off those lists is (in my mind) a good move. What's more, it sends a signal to the people at Twitter that this person is no good.

I do think, though, that not reciprocating is probably sufficient. I should've mentioned that I'm also a minimalist and like to keep my lists clean.

Got it thanks. Maybe I'll start blocking obvious spammers too.
