!!tag-filter will use the tag-filter field of the tiddler from which the
TOC macro is launched.
It's unclear where you want the tag-filter field to be coming from.
It seems like you want a tiddler to have a tag-filter field AND be marked
"spam", which doesn't quite make sense to me.
Sometimes it helps to explain the big picture of what you want to do,
rather than look narrowly at a particular technological solution.
Good luck!
