Wouldn't it be interesting if we could set up some kind of central "Tor Abuse Center" where all the complaints go, and all the relay operators can help respond to them. I suppose it would be pretty chaotic though...

Short answer: ISP
I got 2 abuse mails (1 false positive) from Hostwinds in 4 months and I get weekly mass reports from DigitalOcean. And the thing that pisses me off is: Its all bots or Tax spam or other stuff I got weeks/months ago. Different day, same shitty abuse mail.

I don't know what I'm doing different, because I only got 2 complaints
in
the last 2 months, and that was for SSH and SQL stuff.

same shit here:
Dear User, We are contacting you because of unusual activity coming from your IP address towards the IT infrastructure of the European Commission. In specific, since 03/10/2016, IP addresses 95.85.45.159 & 104.236.225.19 of Digital Ocean, located in the Netherlands (NL) and the USA respectively, have submitted a significantly large number of invalid VAT number requests as compared to the total number of requests (89,59% & 89,96% respectively) towards VAT numbers from a multiple of EU member States (MS) through the VIES on the Web service (http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/). For more information on Invalid VAT number requests please refer to FAQ, questions 7, 11, 12, 13 and 20 of the VIES on the WEB site (http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/faq.html). The scope of our team is to monitor on a daily basis the performance of the VIES-on-the-Web (VoW) service in order to ensure its performance in accordance with the standards agreed upon between EU's Directorate General for Taxation and Customs Union (DG TAXUD) and the EU Member States. Our objective is to secure constant and uninterrupted availability and flow of traffic (requests for VAT validation) at all times. Under this framework, our team intervenes whenever there is out of the ordinary, unusual and potentially suspicious use of the system that violates the rules of use as they are stated in the Specific disclaimer for this service, which is available at the VoW site (http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/disclaimer.html). Consequently, in order to allow flawless use of the service, we were obliged to block the access to VIES on the Web for the IP address 88.198.110.130. Following our action, we would like to know if you are aware of this situation. Furthermore, your cooperation and contribution is necessary in order to determine the reason for this occurrence. Please inform us if this behaviour is normal and if such, how often it should occur; we would then take action to unblock the traffic coming from the corresponding IP address assuming you will agree to follow a set ITSM VIES/Web Team "ITSM2 is a contracted support partner for the IT Service Management of the European Commission. This e-mail is a reply to your message sent to the TAXUD-VIESWEB@ec.europa.eumailto:TAXUD-VIESWEB@ec.europa.eu e-mail.

I am so done with it, I added
