Well here’s how I see it.

I have this little website, that I consider myself the proprietor of given that I started it and put a lot of work into it and pay for for the dedicated server that it’s hosted on. If someone comes here and acts like a total jerkwad, I will ban them, and I don’t really feel much need to explain myself or cite laws or terms of use or constitutional amendments because you know what? Don’t act like a jerkwad. (And if the ban-ee differs with my definition of jerkwad, I refer them back to the part about me being the proprietor of this site, which is to say that I get to pick the definition).

Now, the example you cited, where the dude actually called the guy’s employers — that is something different. (Notwithstanding the idiocy of posting such stuff from work). You say “People get banned or people get tracked down and sued or something similar.” — I say, there is a big difference between getting banned (no big deal, just find a different site to be obnoxious on) and getting sued or fired, which is a major negative vis-a-vis one’s real, offline life.

Pertinazzio, the spam filter message asked you to email me so I could release the message, but as it turns out the software is totally buggy so I have uninstalled it. Unfortunately your message was deleted by aforementioned buggy software — sorry about that. We are now back to the normal (and unfortunately, spam-ful) operation of the site.

I think I’ve gotten rid of all these.

I don’t always have time to check the forums so it is much better to email me at [email protected] or to pm me (which, upon a new update I installed yesterday, can now email notify people upon receiving pms).

Sending a direct link to the offending spam post helps.

thanks,
Rich
