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. The best is to respond positively to informative and verifiable abuse reports with timely and appropriate replies and, above all, actions.<o:p></o:p> Cheers, Hans-Martin<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
