[Motd] ANN abuse ANN.lu Posted on 13-Apr-2001 10:23 GMT by Christian Kemp 29 comments View flat View list As you might have noticed, messages of questionable content have been posted on ANN under fictious names, Fleecy's name, as well as my own name. In the latest case, the border between harmless joke and abuse/slander has clearly been crossed, and I have invoked abuse procedures. The ISP of the offending poster has been contacted, and I'm hoping they will take appropriate measures. Any future postings that fall under the same category (abuse/slander and/or impersonating some other person) will also yield the same reaction: removal of the offending posting without any further comment, contacting of the ISP, and if everything else fails, legal action. This clearly cannot continue.

People are confused enough as it is without a bunch of faceless BS'ers stirring the pot. So some of it is "just a joke"? I believe that about 25% is a joke while the rest is a deliberate undermining of the community by inbred morons with no sex-life. There is no excuse to post under someone else's name/handle and there is no excuse (apart from memory lapse) to post anonymously. If you don't have the balls to stand up and "show" your face then keep your rumours to yourself. And don't start a flame war about "free speech" - what about the rights of individuals to be protected from lies and abuse? Free speech is good when it's accurate and verifiable, otherwise it's just plain mis-information that has no place in a "NEWS" group/site.
