At the XMPP Summit yesterday, a group of operators and server developers got together to discuss abuse prevention and problem reporting over the network. Our primary idea was to establish server "buddy lists" (each server would have a group of other servers that it trusts) and define a format (probably XEP-0004: Data Forms) that would enable a server to report issues, problems, and incidents to its "buddies". (The same format would probably be used to send incident reports to offending servers in some instances, although with a reduced subset of information.) I will work with some of these operators and developers to update XEP-0161: Abuse Reporting along these lines.
