Ask HN: Dear Cloud Providers

...would you please standardize on an automated abuse reporting procedure? We suffer so much abuse from all of you. Many of you ask that reports be submitted through your bespoke (and broken) web forms. I am not sorry to inform you that I will not be wrestling with your web form for each abuse that we receive. We are just going to block your subnets.

So I ask again, please come up with:

1. A standardized report schema. Doesn't matter if it's XML, JSON, or whatever, as long as it is a standard, and you all adhere to it.

2. A standardized automated submissions interface. Doesn't matter if it's e-mail, REST, SOAP, or whatever, as long as it is a standard, it does not require human interaction to submit a report, and you all adhere to it.

3. A standardized publication of your submissions interfaces. Doesn't matter if it's WHOIS, RDAP, or whatever, as long as it is a standard, and you all adhere to it.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.
