I disagree. That’s like saying theres no point donating $5 to charity because it’s not enough to fund research.
The point is that if everyone reports the abusers, there will be fewer abusers in total, which directly impacts the amount of abuse you see on your end.
- sillysaurusx 4y agoThe “if I recycle, it’ll help” effect. Their point is that such things usually don’t work. In the same way that consumer recycling doesn’t affect climate change (or other laudable goal), everyone tomorrow could email about a specific IP, and it’s a tossup whether it’ll change that one IP, let alone the others.
- prvit 4y agoYour mistake is thinking that abuse reports you send can truly measurably reduce abuse. It’s not true! Any IP address you see in your logs has almost certainly already had a ton of automated abuse reports sent about it.
