What if I am at home, and while working on a project, fire off a wide ranging nmap against say a /19 work network to validate something externally? Should my ISP detect that and make a decision that I shouldn't be doing that, even though it is completely legitimate and authorized activity? What if I fat fingered a digit and accidentally ran that same scan against someone else's /19? Should that accidental destination of non-malicious scans be able to file an abuse report against me and get my service disconnected because they didn't like it?
Abuse departments should be properly handling LEGITIMATE abuse complaints. Not crufty background noise traffic that is never going away.
Sure. Handling legitimate abuse complaints would be quite sufficient. :)
