This wouldn't be hard at all with tabbed browsing like with Firefox. Think about it.

There is an internet vandal who defaces Free Republic with very gross pictures (homosexual sex and stuff from rotton.com) as well as posting "ALL YOU F***** N*****S & JEWS SHOULD BE LYNCHED".
He pings a variety of people to his post, ensuring that the trash is still in their My Posts lists.
To me, this isn't the milder form of harassment that Eschoir engaged in so many years ago. The very worst he would do is ask if you ever committed sodomy, and he once used the screen name "Paula Jones Tw*t". This is mild.
What this sick piece of work is doing is much more egregious. I believe it crosses the line into criminal defacement and restraint of trade. Are there any Free Republic lawyers (especially prosecutors) who can address this issue, and are there any private detectives with internet savvy that will help track the identity of this person down?
Interesting. It would be difficult to cut-and-paste itno 16 threads in 3 minutes. I guess you could either have a script that does that, or open multiple windows, write the post into each window, and then click POST one-by-one.
I've often wished for that functionality. That would clear up a lot of clutter in my PING list.

Don't know how y'all would feel about this but some boards have a 30-60 second timer per post to prevent such rapid spamming and give the mods more times to catch up.
Even with IE, you can have multiple windows. No big deal.
I wouldn't like that. It would be a shame to let one dipstick ruin things for everyone.
I meant the pic in your ping list.
Looks promising. All we have to do is find out which laws he broke and nail him on that. Getting some conservative lawyers and judges would definitely help.

Oh. Yeah. It scrolled off much earlier.
Laz...did you notice this person's comment got several responses...and he/she didn't respond to even one of them? Shut down...no posts for a few hours, and then only one more post all day? Wonder if it's a troll?
Well articulated, as usual, KP. A wide variety of remedies can be pursued once the bastard is found. Like I said on an earlier post, the one who ID's him will go into the FR Hall of Fame.
thank you - I did have several hours in which to mull it this afternoon.
have you any expansions to suggest?
Excellent analysis and review. Thanks.
Curse words and off color jokes are not the same as pornographic pictures!!!
This is a family site.
This person is knowingly exposing children to pornography.
Yes, I believe there is a Federal offense here.
Yea, there's a couple of thread trolls I have had that I would like to put on ignore. I'm not the only one who would like the option.
HULK SMASH.
your posts on this thread have been worthy of consideration as well.
