Of course. I just meant, you could be proactive and block those obvious spam 
magnets aswell, in ADDITION to confirmed crappy-gTLD-spammers.

Honestly, in the beginning I felt this ICANN gTLD program being a very cool 
thing, with custom gTLDs and such.
On paper it sounded so good and so cool.

But in reality, these TLDs just attract more spammers than legit users, and the 
registrars (that "own" the gTLDs) don't care about spam.
I have tried to abuse report a lot of spam to the registrars but they are 
refusing to de-register the names. They just say that I should turn to the 
hoster where the domain is actually hosted.

Basically, they will only carry out an action on a registred TLD (under a gTLD) 
if a court compels them to do it. They see it as a ownership, like owning a 
plot of land that they can't revoke for anything else than non-payment 
basically.

So sad. ICANN should have been required some enforcement of spam fighting 
before approving a gTLD operator, and also monitor so a gTLD operator actually 
takes action against spam.

I think it's better to block those you are actually getting spam from, not just 
the ones that "sound spammy".
