Personally, if it were up to me to 'torture' a spammer. I would choose to make them watch every late night infomercial ever produced.... TWICE. Then once they started to drift off to sleep, I would give them some "go go" pills (the military uses them for pilots) to MAKE them stay awake. Once that didn't work anymore, I would probably set up a electrocution chair that was not active as long as they kept proper posture (sleeping would not keep proper posture). Thus tormenting them to the extent I felt would result in them electing to never post spam to anyone ever again.

Of course if it was website spam, well I think making them manually type out the address they attempted to push onto me one thousand times (repetition can cause you to think of nothing else for awhile) while their keyboard was electrified, so if they stopped typing it electrocuted them thus forcing them to comply.

Aww such fun punishments to imagine.....
