Hello? I don't think you're understanding still. I don't see this as a 
bad reporting parse. It's a spammer who is spamming me through an SC 
address. It's not my mistake to report it. Spammers who get these 
addresses likely got them from reports they somehow got their hands on 
(a so-called "leaky" reportee), or by "guessing" the reporting address.

Yabbut - Don/Admin seems to be the guy who can disable a "leaky" 
reportee. Ellen pointed out he already disabled it, so I wouldn't be 
surprised if other reporting addresses got used in spams from that same 
leaky reportee.
