It might be helpful to understand why people want to post on email forums rather than an abuse desk. Is it to gain public attention on the matter? Is there a bit of shaming going on and the reporter wants the community to know they are fed up with the ESP? Are people reporting on public forums b/c they want to know if others are experiencing the same problem?
I think there are good reasons to post spam on a forum, though the ones I see seem to be more about shaming and wanting quick action, rather than something more overarching and community reaching. It almost sounds like a community FBL should be set up rather than an email forum. I suppose people could use spamcop, though they provide very limited information to ESPs. I really like the idea of using DNS to inform the community where to send abuse reports. Sometimes I see issues Ops teams needing to receive reports from those querying whois records. This can cause routing issues sometimes. Also there isn't typically an abuse only contact in whois records. Seems Tech, Admin, Registrant are what crops up in a whois lookup.
