Today, I tracked over one hundred attempts of abuse on ANN. I've been working on the filters and editing mechanisms for over four hours. Maintaining ANN is turning into real work, and all I see are tasks that I despise. This one individual, and the general attitude on ANN lately, is alienating visitors and making this site a horrible place to be. Most of what I see is insults and blind advocacy... I'm tired... And I can just see the negative comments again, in reply to me posting this...

The solution isn't that hard. Contact the ISp in question, present them with the offense, the evidence (URL to a hacked or abused web site), the IP address and the time it happened. WIth this info they should be able to quite easily determine who it was and close down that account. If not, threaten to ban their entire ISP.
I would suggest that the Amiga web masters join forces in the fight against hackers. They must work together and share info on banned IP addresses or ISPs or IP ranges. If they go it alone it will be very tough.
