Today @dansup mentioned spam again. I think we all see it and I already spoke about stopping it in a federated way.
Here is a mockup of what I think is possible.
1. setup a blocklist on two levels. One for the name and one for the servers. This can be done by using dns, done it in the past.
2. make it federated so every server is able to use it. Be aware, able is not something that should be mandated.
3. have a whitelist available so you can assure your users are able to enjoy your services.
4. people should be able to whitelist.
This is simply a base set of requirements that should be available. It more or less works like service spamhaus and others offer. I can think of a lot of other features but this set is something that will allow you to run a server and be able to not fight spam in a time consuming way.
The advantage is that if owner foo blocks user xyz then owner bar will not be bothered with the spammer. Therefor reducing the workload on negative things.
I am reaching out to some of the bigger players I know. Please invite others that do play an important role to discuss this if you feel the need.

Are you guys/girls willing to work together in assembling a blocklist under the conditions mentioned in this posting? If not, can you state why?
I am willing to make an effort, I am not sure you would.

under the right conditions I'd be willing to help out. The biggest issue would be how we might handle abuse where a server labels things as spam that someone else might not consider to be spam. But that seems solvable.
