I like the idea , but I am not sure this will work. I have people in their mid to high 50's also spamming, and I have a lot of new low rep people who comment on my page. The little message I have at the bottom of every post seems to help a lot. I honestly don't know if it would help or not , on one hand I could set my rep slider at 60 and pretty much eliminate the spam, on the other hand I may loose a lot of non spamming followers I have now and future followers by doing so. I guess it is worth a try , The spamming is only going to get worse as steemit starts growing faster.

I'm sure different strategies would be trialled by different steemers.
With the slider, a spammer might never get to 50 in the first place, and we're all only a couple of big flags away from the kiddy pool ourselves.
If you set it too high and missed all those minnow comments you'd miss out, so don't do that. I'm not suggesting a change to the minimum rep, just that the author should be able to change it. Down, even maybe.
(If you want to help people out of holes they've dug themselves into). Power to the poster.
