The precise method does not matter as Google does not do anything to
remove spammers from their services. A good example is for instance
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.javascript which is full of
Google porn and pill spam from Google users. [email protected] is the
proper role account for reports if you feel strongly about wasting
your time.

(Spammers can easily be their own OpenID provider.)
