...so for the spammers to get around being blocked initially all they have to do is send an opening message along the lines of "fancy a meet" - knowing you'll probably just delete it and not report them for being abusive (because it isn't) or report them for spamming (because it isn't a spam message) - after which they can spam you, once maybe, twice if they don't get reported quick enough.

It would be much easier to set a limit on how many messages you can send in, say, five minutes. Make it time consuming for spammers, they'll soon get bored.
