not really... the origin is pre-checked, URLs are pre-checked, email
addresses are not pre-checked... spamcop makes no attempt at determining
which are related to the spam and which are not... it's quite often the case
that pre-checked boxes should be unchecked, and boxes which aren't
pre-checked should be checked...

it has been (mostly as a joke...) suggested that one of the pre-checked
boxes should be "please ban me from spamcop"... having such a box would be
an effective way of eliminating people that aren't looking at the boxes...
the ability to report yourself to your own provider achieves something
similar...

i don't see how it could ever be anything other than optional... spamcop has
no clue which domains are yours and your providers... how would you force
people to enter the correct domains?
so unless you have any ideas about how to implement this...
