Abuse of guest comments by sick individual - PART II

[matiasasun]

Sorry that I´ve created a second part of these forum. But I would like to consider the "reorientation" of the posts.

I just had it! I´m very angry with a guy that every day post about 20 messages in different parts of my site with a drawing of a penis. As I told before these guy has been following me for the last four or five years. He is really a disturbed person...

I´ve try every option PBase has... don´t work. He´d even get better posting messages all over the place. I´ve tryed many alternatives like "silence", "erasing messages", "aboid posting by non-users"... Nothing works. So I ask for the visitors IP.. No answer.

Please, this solution is much more simple: Could we get the quick developement of a feature to decide wich post/comments is going public? That is a standard feature in almost every other site I´ve been and I missed it around here.

Every day the googlebot comes near to my post in this forums... Some day I´ll find out that I´m not happy with his messages and that could be the ending of all stopping possibilities; He´ll continue to do that forever.

I don´t know this guy, but I´m sure that he has shut down some forums long time ago. Please, give us that feature as quick as possible.

Just a side question - what would you do if you got the IP address? Unless Pbase has a way to prevent submission of post from arbitary IPs, you may not be able to block it directly.

You could try to complain to the admin of that IP block but they rarely bother to follow up. Worse still, the IP might ba NATed, in which case you may actually be looking at a whole business/University/Organisation that might be using this single/couple-of IPs.

Something to think about..

Yep... I already thought about it. I was thinking a lot of things to do with his IP adress. The fact is that this guy uses different systems (and worst; systems that are from different parts of the US). IP number would not make a difference. At least that is the information I can get from my system data.

That´s why now I´m asking another feature: Tho be able to decide wich post go public and wich doesn´t.

BTW, congratulations on your 1004 posts!
