The report button

I'm not computer/internet/hacker/code/etc savvy enough to try to work behind the curtain. I'd probably make the whole interwebs disappear. Come to think of it..... that might not be such a bad thing.

Terry, I'm not either. It's not as technical as you think it is. Two clicks on this forum will give you the IP address of any user here. Copy that number and enter it into another website and that will give you the physical location of the server they're going through if you're curious as to roughly where they're located.  You don't even need to do that, I just find it interesting to see where they're at.
As a moderator, you could ban a spammer with two clicks rather than asking for one to be banned like you did a couple days ago. It's easier than uploading a video to your YouTube account. Even a caveman could do it!
