I realize that there may be no way to contact many of these people, but, it is a step towards identifying problem networks. If badhosting.com is responsible for a given percentage of the garbage that comes through our pipes, and I can leverage user input to identify this, then I can use this to create more responsive filtering policies..
I apologize for my wording if anyone took my comments as against your project. Any way to automate response to network abuse is a "Good Thing" (tm). My complaint is that registrars are locking up more and more information so it is harder to track the bad guys. The spammers already have everyone's email addresses from their spyware and list trading. Keeping netblock and domain owners private helps the bad guys way more than it hurts the good guys.
