It's about the same thing with spam/UCE complaints. Anyone with decent knowledge of spamming techniques could forge a few fake UCEs and send 'em in to another ISP's abuse department trying to get their account yanked. I know at least one person who had this happen to them (because their opponent in a flame war was losing the argument).
But here's one better: These guys should take their idea to several ISPs and try to get their support. Then form a seperate organization which the ISPs' abuse departments use as a master DB which they all can contribute to and access for tracking these guys. That might work.
