My understanding is that yes, you're correct. A report from the same user over and over only counts once. Each account has an associated trust level, so it takes more votes from untrusted people than trusted people. As to what's to stop spammers from abusing this ... There's nothing, really, except that they'd have to report spam to get their trust rating up before their revokes were useful. I guess someone could report another spammer's mails and revoke their own, but then if they all do that, they'd all end up with low trust and all the spam reported. Letting spammers fight with each other isn't necessarily bad IMO. :) -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.
