Stop WEB-SPAM!

Spamming on forums, blogs, comments, guestbooks, even on social networks, he made his way everywhere, this is no longer a problem of one email. Many ways are invented to combat it, we have become accustomed to typing Latin letters when registering on a new website or forum ( RECAPTCHA ), answering the control questions “are you not a spam bot?”, Sending spam is recognized as a crime in many countries. But despite this, its volumes are constantly growing, spamming technologies are being improved much faster than opposing them. It is enough to cite the same XRumer as an example - this auto-issuer bypasses all new ways to protect against automatic message distribution. And the very methods of protection against spam often complicate the lives of your visitors, agree that it is inconvenient to enter hard-to-find letters from the image, and it also takes more time ...

Although there are less painful ways, for example, StopForumSpam.com offers an API for checking IP and email for the presence of spam bots in its own database. But none of the above methods is aimed at combating the cause of spam, namely, the extraction of benefits - customer acquisition.

How can you deal with this?

It is very simple, as in the phrase from the school physics course “the force of action is equal to the force of opposition”
1. Once spamming is done to raise a site in search engines, it is necessary to inform search engines about illegal ways of promotion. So Yandex for such purposes has a mailbox: spam-report@yandex-team.ru and the form webmaster.yandex.ru/delspam.xml , others think I also have something similar.
2. Notify the provider about the illegal actions of his client, for this we need a mailbox for the provider’s abuse letters, you can get it using WhoIs-servers at the spammer’s IP address (unless an anonymous proxy was used).
3. Notify the hosting and domain owner of the illegal actions of its SEO-optimizer. Most site owners promote spam, do not even suspect that the offices in which they ordered the promotion of the site do it illegally.
4. Send information about spammers to a publicly available database, like StopForumSpam.com.

It is clear that doing it all manually is a titanic work, but automating the whole process is not such a difficult task, just an interesting task for a course or diploma ;-), integrating into different systems is also not difficult.

The actual module should allow you to create a few clicks (according to a template in English and Russian) and send abuse messages to the addresses that were received according to the spam messages.

It seems to me that this method of combating spam will be much more effective, and what will the respected habrasoobschestvu say, perhaps this technique has already been implemented?
