PM Spammers Vs. Email Spammers

On a slightly different note, I got an email with the miles selling/trade sort of message a while back (Jan. of this year, I think). I forwarded the email to the mod, expressing my concern for the potential spammer/mile broker. Admittedly, I don't get that kind of spam from FT very often.

To my disappointment, the response I got was something like there's no way to prevent members doing this blah, blah. blah. I don't think there was any action taken against that person who sent me the email, judging from the mod's reply.

I don't think I saved spam email nor the mod's reply. It seems to me a very prompt action was taken against ryan182's PM spammer this time. My question is: do our House of Miles handle PM spammers differently from email spammers?
