That's the spirit! I'm glad to see there is an interest in this...
I wonder what would happen if the sponsors in question started receiving concentrated complaints about spammer ID's, complaints combined with postings on message boards listing known spammer IDs and the sponsors who are protecting them?
Like Gideon says, and as people like Linkster and DD say, they key to getting the spamreport to work involves putting as much extra information about the whole network as possible into the spam report form.
Don't report individual pages, report whole networks at once.
It may take some help from people with whois.sc accounts to get the best effect from this.

I think maybe the next step would be to identify a few new spam networks, post their domain names and some sample pages here, then see if we can get a half dozen to a dozen people here to counter attack them all at once.
The counter attack would involve:
1. A group effort with the spamreport page.
and, for additional effect...
2. A group effort writing spam complaints to the sponsors about the sponsor ID's involved, inviting the sponsors to come here and explain why they support search engine spam.
(this second part may or may not work, but if it works even a little bit, imagine how satisfying that would be. )
