If you added the equivalent of a spam button ("I don't like this"), took the user's history into account, and relations with other users, would there be a way to pre-flag posts much like a spam detector?
Although I suppose even if it were an interesting and feasible AI project, and even if it were useful to some users, it's probably something Twitter just wouldn't want to get into. They would be setting themselves up for endless political flak when it did or didn't work correctly.

Or soon (if it isn't already) it'll become as big a cesspit as reddit, and soon after that be replaced by the next new and clean service.

Maybe not full-proof but it will weed out quite a bit of new accounts purely created for trolling. I'm sure Twitter themselves should be able to come up with a more effective method but it seems they simply don't want to...
