I actually like the guys over there a fair amount (we are, after all, basically doing some similar things to make the web safer). I have also talked to Steve a number of times about issues in the past.
To be honest, however, scoring by IP alone is really not that great in this age (multiple sites on the same ip, etc.). And we have been more than willing to block access to confirmed issues, by url because we can do so, but the stance is somewhat hardline by them. And we have also shared the IP address of a site, when needed, so they can tackle the issue at the hosting level.
We also can't really do any thing about sites that talk about doing something bad (we would have to do things to whitehat hacking sites, for example), largely due to the fact that isn't the same as actually doing something bad.
