There is no spam from the matrix side. 
Unlike IRC, spamming from matrix side is very difficult as it requires creating an account on a known server. 
Also the spam controls for the group can be controlled very easily. 

Some of us have been talking about the goodness of matrix for a while. 
Just to state , 'matrix users are not causing the spam, nor the matrix bots`

please address the spam on the IRC side.
