On Balmung I don't imagine there would be, if it's been locked that long.
A couple members of the FC I'm in just made some new characters on Omega (I think?) and said the spammer plague is still very much alive and well. I personally don't know and can't say because the last time I saw them was when I was still on Leviathan, but since coming to Balmung at the beginning of 3.0 I haven't gotten a single tell/shout/friend request from them. I do see clusters of bots here and there farming things, but no spammers.
