Would it be complicated for the admin who bans an user for spam PM to also authorize the removal of all that user's PMs?

If it is an admin that does so, he will no doubt (though note the process takes time). If one of us mods bans the spammer, you'll have to wait until an admin can remove the messages.

I think Dennis is thinking more of the spammer itself

May I just ask one question:
If I select a message in my inbox and click spam, is it the same as reporting here? Does that automatically send info to you guys about that spammer?

got some really odd and offensive spam from this user http://my.opera.com/Aneeqa/about Should I Send The Address for the mail i got?

Pain...
Agony....
My hatred burns through the cavernous deeps. The world heaves with my torment. Its wretched kingdoms quake beneath my rage...
But at last...
The whole of Azeroth will break...
...And all will burn beneath the shadow of my wings...
