I understand what your suggesting, but I honestly don't think its that big of a deal. It's not spam, its literally real people responding to the @answers account after they can an answer on twitter... and like I said last time 80% of the time its simply a "Thank you" Never have I seen Spam come in this way, not once.
As suggested last time, use the "Report" button if you see it.
When I'm on shift I check the new questions often and vanish all the @answers questions that aren't really questions as soon as I see them

Answered Question

Mahalo is adding a tip to all questions that don't offer a tip.
Suggestion for reducing Twitter spam.
Recently I saw an idea that would remove all @answers posts that do not include a question mark, to prevent people from mistakenly replying to tweets from @answers (thinking that they're replying to the answer) and then having their replies show up as questions.
This got me thinking... why not have two separate Twitter accounts? @answers would be for asking questions, but all other correspondence would come from another account (say, "@mahaloanswers" or something). If a tweet is sent to that account, the tweeter gets a reply saying "to reply to an answer, use the link provided in that answer's tweet."

Yeah, I probably should have used a less-strong word than "spam."
