Sies Graal, for your light trolling! :D
But at least you had the balls to stand up and declare yourself, unlike the others. As for that guy that said he prefers posting on MyBB- do you have any idea how many people left that forum and signed up here instead? Though some of the gaming peeps might not always be very rational about things, at least they're a much more pleasant bunch. From my experience anyway.
I've seen some guys at MyBB skindering about this community before too, which is very immature if you ask me. I'd like to think that most here would agree with me if I say that these trolls in now way represent this community as a whole, well, except for maybe that guy frothing there in the corner in his straightjacket.
/looks at Syco :rolleyes: :p

Thread comments
Much less assholery in the forum comments.
Yeah coz they have to use their forum names there ......
OT: I think most of the comments on the article were from two people. One who hates Graal, and one who hates me. I have a particular person in mind, since he's trolled my stuff elsewhere as well. I do apologise that my article was the basis for the former, then.
Trolls will be trolls. I don't really care about them, though (but thanks for the page views!). It's everyone else that I write for. :)
Okay you guys can continue derailing now. :P
How come u display ur (FB) email under ur nick in MyBB? For what purpose?Quote:

Maybe it will be an incentive for the devs to get their butts in gear and implement the new comments system faster? :(
This isn't anything new, welcome to the internet. :/
New login system = no more assholes.
Till then... *shrugs*
Disabling comments is a tough decision to make, and not something I would do lightly.Quote:

Maybe Graal should take it further? He would have my full support.
You also forget defamation of character in this situation. Doubt much will come from further action, but hey, I'd support the cause. The comments the trolls post whilst impersonating someone else is just completely unnecessary and a complete misrepresentation.Quote:

interwebz; where we are serious.
I don't think it's a matter of people like this having been bred by the internet. The guy's pretty much sociopathic: lack of remorse, lack of empathy, egocentric, manipulative and of course deceptive.Quote:

People like this guy have issues and the sooner he gets a criminal case against him, the better so that future incidents realise that it's not just a "once off" thing.
Who knows what kind of person he is, he could already have a criminal record against him. I'd rather be safe than sorry, personally.
Normal people just don't behave this way.
The problem is, how do you track this guy? You'd have to get his ISP to help, seeing as we've got dynamic IPs, and even with that, he could just be hiding behind a VPN or proxy. At this point, with how frustrated I feel, it would definitely be a viable avenue for me. It's not like it's an isolated incident, either. It's clearly not limited to this site if he goes to the lengths to find my real name and personal details the way he does.
I've probably thrown myself in the deep end by constantly taking his bait, but there's really a point where things go from annoying to downright creepy, and it's reached that point. I've been forced to hide my profiles on social networking sites, because this guy really just doesn't seem normal. Nobody in their right mind goes to such lengths to troll just for the fun of it.
ISPs keep logs with timestamps of when their IPs were in use, what exchange and landline requested it, etc. With a court order and a police case opened, getting that information would be pretty easy (cyber crimes division exists for a reason and it would be the police's prerogative to investigate that further). Even if he's hiding behind a VPN or proxy, it can be traced back to that VPN/proxy which would also have logs (or the ISP of that VPN/proxy would) of incoming/outgoing connections and how often do you think he would've bothered to use one even if that weren't possible? All it would take is one slip-up to find him.Quote:

Seriously, if this continues, take it further. He wouldn't be the first internet troll to be arrested and thrown in jail either. As you said, there's a fine line between annoying and blatant harassment/stalking and privacy violation.
This guy's given you MORE than enough evidence to work with. He thinks he's smart, let him continue digging his grave if that's what you want, then show him the inside of a South African prison.
In that case, it certainly sounds like a good option to me. If it continues, I'll definitely look into it. I'm not quite sure I want the guy thrown in jail for it, but some forced psychology sessions sounds like it can't do any harm. It's always all fun and games, until things start getting serious.
I don't mind being the butt end of a joke every once in a while, but if you start getting personal and harass me, that doesn't fly. I mean, he got information on me from not only MyBB, but also went forth to, I assume, Twitter and/or Facebook, then posted it here on the site. That's just not on. If he posted it under his real nick or real name, it wouldn't even bother me, but the fact that it's some ass masquerading under the guise of anonymity, that bothers me.
Sadly registration would not prevent juvenile delinquents like this from posting their dribble. Just look at News 24. Need to register and yet people still troll like they are paid to.
Yeah, but at least using registered accounts, they can be banned for trolling.
Please pm me the Trolls details once you find out who he is :)
I'd love to go say hi, hopefully he is local...Don't mind traveling to go visit the dip shit though.
What is of possibly worse is that some people think nothing of trolls that spew such crap. Personally I think it is a very sad indication of the type of people living on earth today. And then people wonder why the world is in such constant shit. Because assholes like those are becoming tomorrows leaders.
Nothing will come of it, I've had to try that avenue to get rid of a stalker and after a year I just gave up. I also had a friend who was defrauded to the tune of 20k odd and nothing came of it either. The police just won't act ....... and without them, there is no court order and no ISP being forced to divulge details. It's sad how stuffed our justice system actually is.
Haters gon' hate? Troll comments, the only solution is really to ignore them.

I seriously don't understand why people take trolling so seriously. You are, at that moment, not talking to a person who is trying to have a conversation, you're talking so someone who will say whatever and do ANYTHING just to piss you off. So just...leave it be. Who cares if someone posted some bad comments? Don't get into it.
