If it's not against the rules, it should be. And the fact that there's a work-around for this particular form of spamming does *not* make it ok.

Consider that each time he tried to initiate a trade, a message went from him to the server, and then another from the server to Don. These messages represent bandwidth that's completely wasted. The effect of this one spammer was probably trivial, but if spamming of any sort is not actively suppressed, the number of spammers will tend to increase, and over time the bandwidth wasted on spamming can become a serious issue.

So *any* variety of spamming should be against the rules. Period.
