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.

ANN abuse : Comment 26 of 29 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Colin Wilson on 14-Apr-2001 22:00 GMT | Christian - It might be time to liase with some of the better known names in the scene directly, and only accept posts from them to your normal email address (or a "special" one) - I know some may be spoofed, but thats likely to be rare if the email address is not a publicised one.
Perhaps you could adjust your scripts to reject posts using their names, because they haven`t done it by agreed channels.
Perhaps if a hotmail address was set up (or similar), so that anyone helping out with the site could access it (give them the login/password), to save all the added pressure being on you... |
