why does a company that is so easy to spam through get a -8 point

Because the only way to get a message from twitter is to 1) have an
account on twitter 2) have someone who YOU ARE FOLLOWING send a direct
message to you 3) have Twitter set to send Direct messages to you via
email. No one can send you a direct message unless you follow them, so
you have 'opted-in' to receive their messages. If they are spammers,
UNFOLLOW them.
Whether you want the message or not, it is not spam. If you don't want
these messages, disable the emailing in your twitter account.
