If Dave makes their email addresses known, we could probably ship that off to the blog... But that would most probably be in contravention with the privacy policy of TheForumSA... If they do however spam on the forum and posts email addresses with their posts, sure we can forward it to the site...
Other than that, right now we can only forward emails to the site and have it posted...
The problem with forum spammers is that they tend to use drop emails for registering. And their goal is to either link build or to get some traffic to their site (I'm assuming it isn't just to P forum admins off). The spam blog idea only works if the person is relying on contact via their email address. I suspect the idea is to get their inbox so flooded with spam that it becomes quite troublesome for them to find the emails from genuine victims.
Or at least get them looking half as bad as the oke in the blog...
Whatever we do, spam will always be a problem, I just reckon that although 90% of emails sent today is spam, we still have a fighting chance if we at least try and stand up to them....
On some of my forums I specifically state that forum spammer's emails will be made public. If there was a way for me to distribute their email addresses to other lists as well, I would.
Send it in a nice list to my blog, hopefully it will help alleviate spamming to some degree... At least we are doing something to try and fight back...
