[Web] What are we going to do about our forum spammer?

[Tomasz Siekierda]

Hi,

I'm sure you know who I'm talking about: the impossible-to-reason-with
spammer that keeps polluting our forums with frequent moaning about
economists, Digia and profits.

He has grown significantly more active recently. We are banning him
swiftly, but he keeps coming back. In the last few days there's been a real
barrage from that individual, plus he started getting really personal and
insulting (not to say he was decent before, no no. He's just worse than
usual lately).

Apart from - possibly - nominating new moderators (for example: p3c0, Chris
Kawa if they are not already), do we have any options? Has anybody checked
this guy's IP address? If it is static, we could ban the IP, but most
probably he is behind an ISP network with dynamic addressing. Maybe we
could ban the email address he is using (I suspect he uses temp mail
addresses, but just in case he does not) from registering on the forum? Or
will it end when somebody calls the police (probably unlikely)?

What are your opinions, proposals?

BR,
sierdzio
