Sergio, that would make too much sense.
 
This mailing list is not only not even considering what you have said, but they are trying to remove the requirement of a network operator to even receive emails about complaints at all.
 
Pathetic.
 
It's the year 2019, and these "people" on this list (probably cyber criminals or are paid by cyber criminals to weaken policy) come here and say this garbage.

Hi,

Maybe we can change the approach.
If RIPE website had a platform to post abuse report, that send the email for
the abuse contact, it will be possible to evaluate the responsiveness of the
abuse contact.

This way anyone that report an abuse could assess not only the response but
also the effectiveness of the actions taken by the network owner. After some
time with this evaluations we would easy to realize who manages the reports
and even who does not respond at all.

So why is it preferrable to send mails which are not acted on, as opposed to
"not send mail because you know beforehand that the other network is not
interested"?

I can see that it is frustrating - but I still cannot support a policy
change which will not help dealing with irresponsible networks in any way,
but at the same time increases costs and workload for those that do the
right thing alrady.

"a known contact" and "an *abuse-handling* contact" is not the same thing.
