Has anyone ever reported illegal Gmail activity to google, its kind of a joke IMO
Today i got a email using my admin contact page from a gmail user that was advertising links to cp lolita (which i assume means child porn)
So i banned the ip and the email address on the forum, and also blocked the ip in my htaccess file. I also reported it not only to my host but also
to google using their link for gmail illegal violations. I gave them the entire email header information with the email content included.
Here is the partial reply i received (most removed for privacy reasons) (links removed as well)

That gmail link is the same link i reported it too. So it seems to be a infinite loop. Basically it appears to me they plan to do nothing such as terminate the account and/or notify the authorities.
Call me simple but to me it also seems that one of the first steps in fighting child porn is to shut down the email accounts that send it and go after the sender, but maybe that seems too obvious.
Anyone else have a similar frustrating experience?
