This would be very necessary of course. I think the ip addresses of 
spammers should be collected. Later the firewall should completely block 
those ip addresses. And we should form a union where we exchange those 
spammers ip addresses.
At the moment I have implemented very simple spam filters with tt_guest 
and tt_boards.

IMHO this is a missing feature.
