Being badly harassed
Dec 26 2006, 7:44 PM EST | Post edited: Dec 26 2006, 7:44 PM EST
Somone keeps harassing me and my users on JIMMY HQ by posting comments that say "I hate you!"
There are over a dozen of these comments and probably will be more.
Somone mentioned that you can ban a user's I.P. and prevent a site from loading in his browser. Is this possible here at wetpaint?
If It isn't too much trouble, can you please ban this person's IP so me and my users can stop being insulted and harassed.

I have found out this about the person:

chariot.net.au ? (Australia)
IP Address 203.87.73.# (Chariot Limited)
ISP: Chariot Limited

He last exited on the IDEAS AND INSPIRATION PAGE which contains a bundle of these harassing comments.
There are many bad comments on the home page also.
I will keep the comments on the site for 1 day for proof, Then I must take them off.
Thank you very much.
Do you find this valuable?

Nickolas,
As a creator, administrator, or moderator, go to the user's profile page and press the "Change Permissions" button. Then select banned. That should take care of the problem. Do you find this valuable?

They are anonymous comments and I don't want anonymous comments turned off. I think I scared the guy so now he stopped. Still there were over 35 comments! whew... Do you find this valuable?

They're probably just some Internet troll and have moved on to bother people at some other site. If they come back and keep bothering you let us know. Do you find this valuable?
