I completely agree with all of your statments - and after yesterday, have been wondering the same thing. Somehow this must fall into some criminal base, and there are ways to track it. It is, however, a matter of manpower and money.

A comment I made to one of my FReeper friends yesterday, after I was 'attacked' by the pictures at the Canteen, is that it is possible to track the IP address from which this guy is sending his trash.

Now, the tricky part.

If he is not working alone, and my guess he is not, there are going to be several computers involved. It is still possible to get them - as even if there are 20 or more participating,the addresses CAN be trapped.

There is no way this guy - or group - can have access to all IP addresses everywhere (rather, it is highly unlikely), and eventually they can be caught. It is just a matter of setting up the system, and waiting patiently.

My husband used to run an ISP (still does on a more low-key basis) and we have had somewhat of the same problem in the past. There are programs which will trap EVERY incoming IP, and capture the information being transferred.

In addition to a legal FReeper who can find a way to bring criminal charges - we need a computer engineer FReeper, familiar with the hacking system, to grab this person or group.

It may take a while, but it can be done.

Yesterday made me literally sick at my stomach - and when you have to begin to be careful at a place you once thought of as 'home', the time has come to take action. Trolling around and shooting your mouth off is one thing. Subjecting 'innocents' (we have Families who come to the Canteen to give and recieve support regarding our troops)is going TOO far - and I am in full agreement with ANY ANSWER that can be decided upon that will stop the problem and keep our reputation respected.

To retaliate at a suspected site would not be an answer, but catching the person(s) responsible for planting this vile seed is well within reason.

The war which began between the Republicans and Democrats however long ago, is quickly escalating into a 'good' vs. 'evil' fight, and I fear it will only get worse. We, as FReepers, must stand our ground, stick together, keep bickering among ourselves to a minimum, and stay strong. Keep that 'ABUSE' button close at hand. JK

I love FR and in the short seven months I've been here I've made what I believe to be life long friends.

But I'm getting really fed up with these pictures posted to me 20 times; I don't know what about me has put me on this thing's honor roll, probably my support of Israel.

Not nearly as efficacious in his disptive endeavors, this fellow, as are the legions of layabout Limey -lunatic-leftist-fringe un-and-anti-American agitators, who pose as as [And are ever recruiting] foreign "freepers."

And whose only "contributions" appear to be to bovver-booted bully, to distract FRom FR's Purpose and to create the maximum dissent among us.

Unless -- and especially given that one of the most morbidly self-obsessed, pathologically-persistent and Narcissistic, air-and-bandwidth-looting leftist limeys is a failed online pornographer -- they're one and the same?

As often as we berate the Homosexual Agenda around here, maybe there is some DUer, Stormfronter, or other type who wants to 'rub it in our faces'...

It seems to me that there are FReepers who are a tad young to be seeing that kind of crap (I have 12 grandkids and I'm too 'young' to see it). I would think that unsolicited delivery of explicit sexual images (especially to minors) is a probably a felony. Care must be taken, however to ensure that any charges go against the poster and not the forum.

The mods do a really good job of cleaning that crap up, as I have missed posts to me which were pulled while I was on another thread.

Why is FR becoming so hateful lately? There is this overabundance of racial, sexual, and religious slurring almost everywhere. There seems to be a lot more fighting amoungst freepers as well. What has caused all the touchiness lately?
