our list admin is a busy person - there are about 20-30 of these a year. It

I understand and his work is definitely appreciated. The list has been
very helpful to me.
However, banning the domains would be a one-time task, and would ensure
that this never happens again. Banning the users means that new users
who do not read the guidelines may commit the offence, thereby
increasing workload on the admin (if he chooses to go the
unsubscribe-and-ban-the-user route).
If the admin does choose to ban the domains instead, here is a list that
may help:
1. hi5.com
2. mail.orkut.com
3. yaariinvites.com
4. friendster.com
5. taggedmail.com
6. jhoos.com
7. whereareyounow.net
8. ilike.com
and all subdomains of the above. That should rid the list of the
majority of social networking sites that I know of and should deal with
the problem once and for all (providing some user doesn't find some
esoteric service that does this).
