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...

| MOTD 02/01/2002 : Comment 19 of 174 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Graham on 03-Jan-2002 00:03 GMT | In reply to Comment 17 (Skal Loret):
Skal,
Unfortunately, the people posting crap are very aware of what they are doing, and they get off on it. The only way to hide these low-lifes is to ban them or moderate them out of sight, so there is no fun for them anymore.
They are the people who have fun shouting "Fire!" in the darkened cinema, but without any comeuppance when people get injured in the ensuing panic. These people are irresponsible immature scum, basically.
I feel it is everyone's right to have a gentle flame fest about the amiga on here, or talk about amiga related stuff. However, it is not their right to post non-amiga stuff of any shape or form. However, as this is happening, we need apt punishment for this act - banning and/or moderation, with the appropriate information being sent to ISPs regarding the abuse. Hacking should be reported to the police, not that much can be done. In order to enforce bans and moderation, a login system is needed. Temporary IP address bans should also be tried to see if it helps.
Shame is, where is the time and motivation to code the above? |
