    Attention.

    I've spent the last few days hunting down a troll that's managed to ravage several forums. He/she/it/something will post adult pornographic material, will use pictures of underage males who are members of the site, if at anytime your members have posted their MySpace, Facebook, Bebo, Twitter, or any other type of social networking tool, please advise them to take precautions.

    The troll hits gaming forums, so owners of forums that belong in other niches shouldn't worry too much, but add the following to their ban lists just in case.

    Included below are Tweets I've sent out within the last 10 minutes. RT them as you wish or post them onto your vB, IPB, SMF, MyBB, Fireboard, phpBB, etc. Twibes networks.

    If your forum is picked, this person or creature I should say will terrorize your members.

    I'm trying to figure out how they work through bans but they were careless enough to mention private proxy networks.

    IP Address: 67.159.44.59 ; 68.198.88.117

    Email Address: [email protected]

    Thanks, Boss. Did you report his IP to its ISP?

    That's the thing, I don't want to report something in case this guy is going through other people's computers. For all I know these can be totally legit.

    I believe the forum owners who this person has caused so much trouble has already sent in a report, which I doubt will do much. *shrugs*

    Ray - bad! :giggle:

    Boss, reporting to an ISP is effective. Ask Chris; he has a story to tell. He's had to report somebody in the past and it worked. ;)

    He hasn't hit my sites, primarily because I know how these twits work.

    Yes, it was indeed very effective. This member was spiraling out of control and, from our end, we exhausted almost all of our viable options. After contacting his ISP, we never heard from him again.

    Thanks for the heads up, Boss. People like this are ridiculous.

    I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about but it' has tons of Spam IP addresses. You just enter a user name or IP and hit search. I have found IP addresses link to dozens of names using this site.

    Yes, that's what it should be modelled on, but they don't want you to submit information about trolls. They feel it would be like carrying out a personal vendetta to submit a troll to their database. Which I can understand; a troll might be breaking the rules on my site but perfectly acceptable on another. Still, I think there should be an opt-in database of these people.

    Interesting. I had someone sign on with that email the other day and it just didn't feel right to me so I killed it and added to the banned list.

    There are third-party websites that do this, like StopForumSpam: Stop Forum Spam - Forum Banlist

    I think it's best to just consult such a massive and well-known directory rather than host our own here.

    Not a problem, Boss. I'm not even the founder. So he must have gotten into the Administrator's account and changed things, got into my account and then posted cloying photos.

    Also, Nick, sorry. Next time, for sure.
