What we can do is,find their thread on bitcointalk and lock it or negative tag the accounts involving the ICO teams.
Would it be possible for a competitor to spam the inbox of users of a particular ICO in order to damage that ICO's reputation and get their thread locked?

No your not alone. I've been also receiving those ico invitations lately and here is the latest one that  I received.

Yeah, we're getting spammed by these bots by the hundreds. Most ICOs are run by pure get rich quick scumbags who will do anything to promote their scamcoin in whatever scummy way they can and utilising these spam campaigns is just another way they do this. I tag them if I ever get spam emails from them because I know they've purchased a hacked forum database from somewhere, but if there's good evidence that they're utilising these spam services they should face punishment, but mprep made a point that somebody could fake the purchase to try get their thread removed etc though I'm not sure how many people would buy these services just to get their threads trashed because they aren't exactly cheap. I still think we should charge a fee for ICOs to even list here and they should definitely face punishments if they run a spam campaign because it's these ICOs that are causing 99% of the spam and headaches right now.
I shit you not the ICO owners I talk to,get crazy messages like 'We will promote your ICO to x number of forum members with y number conversion rates'.The thread pumping service is another business which is carried out on a larger scale now.I see a thread with 2 pages for a week and suddenly pumped to 8 pages in another,quite obvious they have pumped it.I agree with you,ICO's should be put on restrictions.They have huge amounts for spamming services anyway so they wouldn't mind paying something to get listed here.

This is certainly annoying and carried out by the companies who own the ICO's or use services which promote their ICO.What we can do is,find their thread on bitcointalk and lock it or negative tag the accounts involving the ICO teams.

For instance,the message 1 I received has their thread here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-taklimakan-network-social-and-business-platform-for-crypto-community-2426759
No doubt they're spamming the inbox by sending unsolicited pm's.The only way to stop them from doing so is by taking a strict action against their ICO.
