Question is, what exactly do you expect the members of the RIPE
Anti-Abuse WG to actually do about these incidents you keep on
reporting? We are not law enforcement, nor are we likely to go to
someone's door bearing baseball bats and pitch forks.

If you want someone to take action against named companies or
individuals accused of abuse you should contact law enforcement or
someone else that has the actual authority and ability to do so. This
would include the NOC of the accused abuser's ISP.

If on the other hand you want to give the RIPE NCC the mandate to
de-register address space assigned to suspected abusers, you'll need to
write a policy proposal to that effect. It won't happen by itself.

If this truly that is your only motivation for your postings, then
please, stop posting.

You really don't have to fear that people will start asking you «why
didn't you ever say anything to anybody about that», I promise.
