Forms are not useful at all. You need to manually fill in the form, unless you modify the automated reporting tools for “each” “form-holder”. Many of them also ask you to create an account in their ticketing system, but because you’re not their customer, you actually can’t do it, or can’t use it, etc. … When I tried to follow the steps, with major datacenters, such as OVH (one very common hoster of “bad” customers, not to say criminals), they never solve the issues, or you can’t see the “results” of the investigation (I tend to think that never investigated in fact …).<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Most of the abuse reports that we send by email are responded, typically automatically, and there is a reaction to them *when* we have already attached the relevant logs.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> The problem continues to be those that don’t get the emails, bounce, don’t read them, etc., or force to fill the forms. In those case, we just permanently ban the full ranges, if the abuse continues. No other way. We keep records of all that, in case of legal issues, so to be able to probe the ignorance of the abuse-mailbox.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <div> Regards,<o:p></o:p> Jordi<o:p></o:p> @jordipalet<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> </div> <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> <div> <div> El 18/2/21 16:41, "anti-abuse-wg en nombre de Javier Martín" <<a href="mailto:anti-abuse-wg-bounces@ripe.net">anti-abuse-wg-bounces@ripe.net</a> en nombre de <a href="mailto:javier.martin@centrored.net">javier.martin@centrored.net</a>> escribió:<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Hello.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> The subject of abuse emails are, with few exceptions, a useless thing, it depends on the good faith of the recipient.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> For our part, we continue to have servers from large companies attacking us for more than 6 months and after dozens of emails no one has helped us.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Regards.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Javier<o:p></o:p> </div> <blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 8.0pt;margin-left:0cm;margin-top:15.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;min-width: 500px"> Sobre 18/02/2021 16:33:07, Michele Neylon - Blacknight via anti-abuse-wg <anti-abuse-wg@ripe.net> escribió:<o:p></o:p> <div> <div> Hans-Martin<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> I’d disagree<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> For larger companies the types of abuse reported will go to different places and teams.

In the cases I've seen, those forms are hard to find, are a burden to fill out, require me to add information that is completely irrelevant to the abuse incident, and don't allow me to add relevant information (such as a complete mail header). Not getting a response only adds to the feeling that I've wasted my time...<o:p></o:p> It may make a lot of sense for companies who see abuse reports as a nuisance, though :-)<o:p></o:p> There are better ways to increase the quality of abuse reports received.
