Let me see if I understand this: you are a member of the group kevins_story
which has no current active owner or moderator; one or more spammers have
signed up to that group and are spamming the group; you are complaining
because SC is sending the reports to the ISP who is in control of the
spammer's IP address and they aren't doing anything.

First of all you are *not* supposed to be reporting list spam; it is the
owner/moderator responsibility to handle spam sent to their group. Secondly,
if the group is running leaderless then you should be talking to yahoo about
it. Third, if yahoo is not letting someone else moderate the group and it is
running leaderless, then why are you still subscribbed to that group? Start
a new one, moderate it, suggest that anyone who wants to continue the
discussion move over there and  unsubscribe from the old group. This is a
yahoo problem not a SC problem.
