Fastflink2009 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Or maybe he is defending himself????? Just Speculating i have no idea who it really is and like DUnit said i'm not intentionally stirring up trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riker147 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 NO. Mind your own business. How hard is that? We get someone in here that is harrassed via e-mail and you got to defend the guy who is doing it. Unbelieveable. Oh.......I'm sorry. I thought this was a "public forum". My Bad. The reason I'm so curious, is because if I have a misunderstanding with a another member, I want to be sure my city and state aren't shown on this website. If I want people to know where I live, I'll tell them. Suppose some freak is watching this thread and decides to take matters into his own hands. That person has got enough information for a great start. In my opinion this site "can" be held responsible. Mind my own business? Make it private!!!!

snepp Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 When you're short on the facts, you need to mind your own business. We tried to handle this issue privately. The jerkoff continues to spam and harass one of our members. The sooner this gets resolved permanently, the sooner this info will disappear into the night. Until that time, it can remain right where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 There's a rather large difference between having a "misunderstanding" with a member here and actively harassing them via e-mail and insulting them on third-party blogs. If you don't see that, you have a problem. And you don't have to worry about "some freak" taking matters into his own hands with you, as it would be rather hard to track you from Germany to Japan, then to Connecticut, wouldn't it? In a way, I agree with you. Everyone has a right to privacy, a right that is invaded in almost all directions in today's technological times. Hell, you can find someone's name, address and telephone number, as well as an image of their home, simply from doing an internet search. That, to me, is disgusting. But if this person is harassing someone, a very respected member on this site, using their actual IP instead of using a proxy, like you, then that person is an idiot. Why? Because anyone with half of an education in these matters knows that IP's can be traced, e-mails can, and very often are, logged, and it's relatively easy to track this kind of thing. If that IP is not the person's actual IP, then he/she doesn't have much, if anything, to worry about. However, if it is the person's IP and they have done nothing to mask the fact that they want to annoy people by sending them unsolicited e-mail, then, in my opinion, they deserve everything they get.

meteamo Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I want to be sure my city and state aren't shown on this website. If you are concerned about that ... you won't have any reason to worry ... but with the digital age as how it is, everyone can get addresses for everyone else I imagine. The potential information provided about this person in question was taken from their e-mail header which was part of the spam e-mail this guy was sending to someone else. Not only that, but he was attacking him on a website. He was requested to stop but wouldn't listen so in order to determine who it may be, he was asking us for any information we can provide, which we did. If PMs were used, it would be slower and may turn up nothing. The person may not be necessarily from this site. The next step would be to go to authorities or the actual ISP for help but that would be too drastic for anyone and before it comes to that, I'm sure the recipient of these spams, attacks and harrassment would like this whole thing to come to an end peacefully without any authorities involved. If this person wasn't attacking and spamming the aforementioned, none of this would be an issue anyway. And this person lost any rights to his internet privacy when he was beginning to attack and spam another member of this community. It's okay to spam other people numerous times and attack someone on their website but not okay to display little unknown information about them which in turn may lead to this person stopping? You ask about this person's right to privacy ... how about the privacy of the person receiving these idiotic, irresponsible and immature e-mails and blogged attacks? If not done so already, this person should be thankful the authorities aren't involved yet. *Edited* Also, same goes for me as what Mark B said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snepp Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 If not done so already, this person should be thankful the authorities isn't involved yet. If it turns out it's not someone from this site, I will personally help DJ (in private) with getting the necessary information to someone with the authority to act on it. :wink: If the person is from this site, and reads this, they should keep it in mind the next time they want to harass someone.

DJEagles Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 I apologize to everyone for posting that information in public, but I was hoping one of our older members, or even a noob, would be able to help track down the "culprit" - I like that word...LOL! The email isn't everyday, but it is whenever I post something about a noob, which in retrospect, I guess I shouldn't make fun of them...it's just so darn hard. While I do make fun of some noob's stupid questions, and lack of ability to use the "search" function, I would never take the silliness to email or to their own private blog. I was trashed on my blogsite, which I quickly deleted, as my parents and granddparents read it to keep in touch with me. Again, I appreciate all your support, and if I in anyway offened anyone on this site EVER, I apologize....even to the noobs...most of the time when I am busting your "*?&!#", it's a joke. And the only reason I know he is from MVP MOds, is because he mentioned it in the blog bashing, and then again in a couple of the emails he sent me. He is apparently sticking up for "noobs" by emailing me every few days...bet he isn't doing it to the admins and moderators though...he is spineless because I am just an "ordinary" member he thinks he can harrass.

DJEagles Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 You got nothing to apologize for. I wonder if it was a recent person that was banned from here that is doing it? I have me suspicision, which I shared with Snepp...as long as it stopd, then thats fine. He hasn't used my blog since the first time he did it. Then he stopped emailing me until yesterday, which leads me to my suspect...if it isn't the person I am thinking, I would be shocked. Seems to be in all the same threads...

jhath Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 ya y4l thats my thought... do you have a list of the banned ips? then you could maybe compare it with that... i do remember us having some crazy noobs around here lately that quickly earned themselves bans....
