Good idea but like Jeffrey said in his response probably won't have any more of an effect than what is being done to eliminate the spam now.

It seems that none of these messages stays live for more than a couple of minutes as it is so it seems like a lot of extra coding for little outcome.

When I worked in a School district we used to block certain website from being access from inside the labs not for censorship but because they were inappropriate for the age group.

We know the sites these messages are sending people to couldn't you just make a filter that would block the links to those sites so that even if people clicked on them they would do nothing?

There are also Legal ways to stop these guys maybe a nice Official cease and desist order would get their attention.
