Getting Rid Of Spammers

I have an idea that should work to get rid of spammers. I know it's been tried before, and a lot of people are against it, but.... First you set up a Realtime Blacklist (RBL) system. With this, people can report spam, and like SpamCop, the headers are checked, parsed, etc. and IP addresses used by the spammer identified. After a certain number of complaints from a certain number of different complaint sources, the IP is added into the blacklist database. There it would sit, for a predetermined amount of time... a set period since the last valid complaint. Not to put it to use... With most blasklists, the IP is blocked from connecting to the mail server or used to filter email. Not in this system. Here, the IP is not just blacklisted, but blackholed. In essense the IP's are blocked at the *router* of the user of the RBL. This doesn't just stop the spam, but it puts a damper on ANY online activity of the affected IP address. This would prevent ANY traffic from going past users of the RBL to or from the spammer's sites. This might include the spammer idly surfing but it also includes things like networking with other spammers, collecting their profits, etc. Overkill, you say? Perhaps. Legitimate users on the same IP? Good source of pressure to stop the spammer if you ask me. The Internet was built on the idea of cooperation. The vast majority of people on the internet do not like and do not want spam. Thus blocking it is cooperating with the vast majority of users out there. There are plenty of other advertizing methods both online and off, and it is the spam that pisses people off. This majority got many of the larger online companies to move against pop-up ads. Why can't we do the same with spam? Block them at the router I say. Blackhole the SOB's and cut off all their communications. They'll learn. If they don't want to play by the accepted rules, they don't get to play at all.
