The problem with banning is that spammers don't have to be honest about their IP.

If many people implemented this kind of automatic banning, spammers could just put the IP of innocent sharers as source into the spam files, and all those good sharers would get banned.

Deleting the files might do the trick, too.

Could you test that?
