you are reading has a charter you can complain that they have
broken it, assuming the charter says spam is unwelcome. Two,
you could complain about all the crossposting to irrelevant
newsgroups. You would have to forward a copy of the original
post or else quote the article ID.

It depends on the ISP as to how seriously they take it and
chances are the spammer will start up elsewhere even if his
account is closed, but if it makes you feel better that's
what you can do.

Most ISPs will act, if they get swamped with complaints from
different people. A single report doesn't always do anything, but 50 or
100 people reporting it from different newsgroups will make them act, or
they will have to continue to wade through the complaints.
