I don't. The moderation is already a bit slow at times, especially on 
holidays or anytime there is a transition between moderators. 
Unfortunately, they really can't even take my suggestion to heart because 
it would likely block a handful of legitimate disclosures, and that 
doesn't fly.

Yes. OSVDB is adding all of these bogus reports to our database and 
tracking creditee with the intent of being able to easily generate such a 
list for many purposes, including that.

Call me a bastard, but i'd like to see the people *repeatedly* posting 
bogus RFI bugs get harassed more so they stop posting without validating 
their findings.
