    I could reboot my router until I'm blue in the face and it'll still never change IP despite it being dynamic.

    What they could do though is manually approve each post for new members.. perhaps for a period of 2 weeks or so - that way, trolls won't be able to troll anymore. I've seen forums implement a system like this and works successfully. The job of approving posts can be left to the board "guides" such as yourself so MSE staff can use their time for money saving things.

    Another could be to limit the number of posts a new member can make within 24 hours.

    There are lots of ways to stop trolls posting abusive messages completely. The problem is whether the admins can actually be bothered implementing such features.
    if mse dont do anythink about it i will take them to court over it just like someone did over on facebook ip can be trace to someone work or home fact isp log every site you go on by law in the uk

    I don't think they are bothered because the troll is only abusing a small number of people. If it had started abusing Martin or the other MSE staff, without a doubt they'll get their !!! in gear and stop it completely.

    They have the means to stop it. They could also report it to the offenders ISP, providing evidence of such abuse.

    I suspect the troll will be appearing any time soon.

    I don't think a court is going to take this remotely seriously... You'll just have to pester MSE to do something about it (in their defence, I imagine its more ignorance than not caring - though extremely annoying, I don't think its really been that bad has it?).

    I know what your saying, but, when it's aimed at you all the time it must get to him.

    Ah, all I've seen are the ones that were constantly appearing yesterday.

    I do understand why you are getting upset over it, but I assume they don't have any personal information about you (like personal email address etc.) so its best to just ignore them.

    Easier said than done for many people I know.
  • I saw some of it on Friday night and understand why you are so upset the remarks are disgusting, personal, unwarranted and abusive. This is to people who are trying to help others. A disgrace no doubt they can be traced, should be and taken care of!
