Hi all,
I was thinking about adding a new IRCd command called /report that will let users report spammers.
The IRCd will save the last message or its hash from the last 10 (or whatever) users with their user@host masks and users will be able to use the command /report <nick> <message> to report spammers.
The /report command will: 1. Verify the message from nick is real. 2. Delete the message or mark it as reported so one wouldn't be able to report the same message more than once. 3. Pass the verified message to a pseudo nick (service) on DALnet or a channel for other networks (will be an ircd.conf option). 4. [DALnet] Service will check the reporter and message against an internal ignore list and possibly even act automatically in some cases. 5. Relay the verified report to IRC Operators.
Thoughts?

How do opers know that reported nick is spammer?

They would see something like: nick!user@host reported spam from spammer!spamuser@spamhost: spam message
It would be the same as a user going to #OperHelp to complain about a spammer with one exception: the report will be validated by the server and IRC Operators would only get validated reports.

This seems good in theory, but on busy servers, sounds like it might end up as useless as /whowas
