Why is Party Poker stupid enough to allow this?

If that is too heavy handed, they could do something like only letting you chat as an observer if you had played 1000 real money hands or more on your account and if you spammed, they would ban you.

I think this is a good idea. You have to play a certain amount of hands (it doesn't have to be many and it could even be play money) to have your chat turned on. Spammers won't want to take the time to register an account and play the required number of hands, only to later have their accounts banned when they start spamming. Not to mention they could have funds taken.

I think the rule should be you have all chat turned off until you play the hands; not just observer chat. That way spammers cannot sit at open seats and spam.
