So this stuff is still happening?
Do we have a Plan?
Or at least a Bad Idea?
(G'Moanin', Darks! )
hehe! Daz why I used "jerks". :)
The troll was still posting his disease as of at least 9:30 this morning.
I think the boss and the mods have a handle on it as they have in all likelyhood collected quite an electronic trail on the perp by now, and there is a bad idea in place as well.
Bad idea is to find out if he is posting from a company workstation, and then let his employer know his doings.
Also, if he's posting from home, his ISP can be notified of his behavior and the intent to litigate due ot internet stalking and harrassment.
That would get his internet connection permanently revoked.
Sounds like a plan!
Thanks!
From mhkking's post, sounds as if he's added a few to his list. Sorry to hear the jerk is back!
My son's forum is full of computer geek mods and admins. There's a way to trace back through the ISP and we've done it once there in order to file a formal complaint. Turns out our particular troll was posting from a college computer using a college's ISP provider. My son called and then wrote a formal protest letter (with a small threat of possible legal action) to the college. Somehow or another the college was able to determine which student it was and expelled him. I believe the student was on his own laptop but plugged into the college's ISP access.
Even though I'm one of the mod's on his board, I'm in no way a computer geek so I don't know all the in's and out's of how it all worked. It did take time to do and I know during the interim, they blocked that particular ISP's access to my son's board in order to stop the trolling until the college did something. On a smaller board like my son's, blocking the access was inconvenient for only a couple of other posters. It may not be possible on FR because it could be one of the bigger ISP's which would end up blocking too many legit posters.
Hopefully this particular troll will get tired and move on. Of course, we don't know what action may be going on behind the scene here at FR.
It's now entertaining to me. It's hysterical watching how desperate people get when they realize their irrelevancy.
:-)
I see buttsex is back but apparently bs isn't even getting any bs because if they did, they'd not have time to post! LOL
I didn't see the pictures,but it must be!
I am thinking that it might be a group of nasty people!IMO
You are right!
I hope they catch this dude!
It's actually pathetic. I almost feel sorry. I hope this person doesn't have children.
I posted to that soccer thread before it got pulled (I called the guy an idiot/moron, or something along those lines) so I was able to go back and see who I posted to, someone named "no soccer" of all things.
You know I was thinking the same thing!
Oh gosh! That is sOOOOO sweet!
Welcome.
Hoping that's what's being done.
Hoping they catch him and roast him like a slab of bacon.
How do you get to someone's profile page?
Just click on their FR screen name
