I don't understand what you are trying to say. Can you please say what
you mean in simple English?

Perhaps you are implying that the RIPE community or the RIPE NCC should
do something to revoke address space from networks used for certain
activities?

If that's what you mean, please just say it, then we can discuss the
basic idea as well as details.

Looking at the /14 that you referenced:

Looking at the latest record in the database it seems like the block is
about to be pulled for non-payment:

remarks:        The RIPE NCC will reclaim this allocation
remarks:        Please email billing at ripe.net
changed:        hostmaster at ripe.net 20100927
changed:        hostmaster at ripe.net 20110118

Perhaps you think this should happen faster. In which case, please go
ahead and propose such a change.

Thanks!
