[@ArenaSnow], the trouble is that even if bots were IP banned, it is generally trivial for the bot producers to send the bots through a new IP. It might help slow the influx, but I think enhanced reporting measures would help more.

Not the intent.

Even old spambot IP's can be useful for analysis. Recording them and then sending them to certain parties could help at least get a better understanding of the issue.
