Does it make any sense to produce a RIPE document suggesting the proper way to report abuse?
This document can be short & sweet, just like the reports should be. A few good ideas are already in this thread: report to the right people, say the important bits up-front, and so on.
We are already working on a format, that is used by more and more people. It is meant as an extension to the well known RFC 5965 ARF. Called X-ARF. http://xarf.org
Everybody who is interested in helping and using it, let us know and we can subscribe you to the mailinglist.
Some tools are already available here: https://github.com/xarf
Anything that makes reporting abuse harder for the victim, is counter-productive, IMHO. This to me is all an attempt to make abuse-complaint-receivers better equipped to use automation to deal with complaints. Noone who reports abuse likes talking to automation. Mark.
