In the old days of New England they had a perfect punishment for spammers like this.

They were called "stocks".

The individual was placed about five foot of the ground in a horizontal position on a wooden platform. There were holes for his head, one for each arm, and one for each leg.

The public was then able to visit him at a time and place of their choosing and spit on him.

I'd vote for it ... public stocks seem perfect for spammers ... I have no sympathy for them ... 4-5 years ago a lot of people tried it ... then 99% wised up and knocked it off ...
