In reply to Luke90:

That was sort of the system we were trying to set up after the 58 report incident, however Paul got involved with something much more sophisticated. It is actually a much better system since we don't do anything, it just nukes the spam, bans the account and sends an email to Paul and me to check for false positives.
If we find some slipping through then we may look at something like you suggest.
