Reporting them to their ISP often has a detrimental effect on their
account, especially if their ISP gets enough reports from different people.

And even calling them a spammer in the newsgroup has its advantages; for
instance, searches will get their messages - plus the SPAM comments.
And most people don't like to deal with SPAMMERs.

So while it may not discourage them, it can have a detrimental effect on
their ability to post to usenet and their business.
