Why not just put a comment on your profile that says you're not looking?
This does cut down on the emails you get. You'll still get some, but I'm willing to bet you get an equal, if not greater amount of emails from various retailers you've purchased from.
From these, just hit delete, or not interested.
The only thing I find annoying about LinkedIn "spam" is that while apparently good engineers are hard to find, the laws of supply and demand seem to cap out around a certain compensation level. I always wonder if I were in sales or finance, would recruiters that really want to fill a role try and lure me to leave by mentioning the free candy bars? or tell me they'll pay me ___ % more than I'm making now?
Anyway, given the situation for most people in the country, certainly getting spammed by people with job offers isn't the worst problem in the world, nor is it that hard to cope with. ymmv.
