It's pointless to quell them when they can just make a new group/server but I can't imagine it's a painless process, there probably is some large hit in traffic (as if they get any 'real' traffic anyways).
What is the point in running servers like this? I'm actually interested in how fooling people to come to your servers does you any good - do they somehow monetize stupid people?
