I think that it may help to offer suggestions to help solve the problem, instead of just saying "don't do it Joe!".
Would it be possible to have the script just drop any posting that uses 'bad' words. I have noticed on this and many other forums that the 'Jasonites' usually use a lot of foul language to get the regular forum readers to respond to the bait.
Another option would be to require the sender's email and to have the script bounce an email off of the sender's email to verify that it is valid.
This of course would not help against somebody getting a freebie email with somebody like netzero and the others just to use for harassment. But at least they would have to do the extra work.
