TROLLS

If I pay for an ad free site, Will Wetpaint help enforce the user conduct policies? I have been trying to get rid of a TROLL on my spirituality based web site, but he can just sign in using a different e-mail. I have not found a way to block his IP addresses. I have banned him 19 times now and removed numinous threads that he has posted and now he has sent threatening e-mails to all members of my site. I cant sit at home all day trying to stop his activity. Will I have some control over hew signs up instead of this free sign up thing ware I don't even get a chance to approve members before letting them in? 3  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?

Signing up to the Ad-Free Test Program does not mean you will get any extra help or features, just the ads will disappear.
You should follow the steps on this page to keep Trolls out, 19 times sounds pretty bad:

Yes, I have done these thing you have listed. Dictator-Of-Doom has friends in different states to sign up for him. He also uses different IPs within his area. I finally had to lock my site. Now the advertising that I have done to promote my site is useless because now, no one can view my site or sign up without an invitation. Do you find this valuable?

I have set up another site called "TAGS LIMBO" I now use this site to evaluate people that I would like to invite to the real site. Of course Dictator-Of-Doom got directed to the new site when he tried to log into my real site and now he is there using a different name posting his hate messages. Thats ok though.
He is no longer harassing my members. The new site is http://tagslimbo.wetpaint.com if you would like to check it out. Thanks for the help.
