This one has an interesting suggestion for a set of subject tags, to wit:

[email]   Internet email
[usenet]  Netnews (including non-Usenet groups)
[irc]     Internet Relay Chat
[icq]     ICQ
[chat]    Other chat media
[misc]    Other media

I don't see where ICQ is deserving of it's own special tag, so in the interest
of simplicity I would reduce the list by one and only distinguish between IRC
and other chat media.  Nonetheless, a very good idea.

I disagree somewhat with this one in respect to the call to remove "personally
identifying information" from one's complaint.

Another point which I've rather taken to heart is that abuse complaints should
not contain .sigfiles (PGP signed is okay).
