Viper, I'm not a list owner. At this early stage in my involvement with this business, I have no idea whether I ever shall be. I also agree with some of the points you made about more proactive server side measures which can and should be taken against miscreants in order to make the lives of everybody here, in particular, easier.
However, I'm not convinced too may of these guys have enough server side access to be able to implement such measures, or the skills to do so if they had.
Take just one expression you used. A very practical, effective measure if implemented with the relevant level of discretion: IP blocking. Ffs, how many of the guys here even understand the term.
So let's take another: your inference that you could crack a random series of questions I find more questionable but I'll bet the guys here didn't. I'll bet their eyes just glazed over.
So if you want to discuss and educate, I'd respectfully suggest you attempt an awful lot of educating first.
