Hi Mark,
Thank you for being supportive... it helps.
Yes I have, many times... sigh.
He wants h2h to return and he is taking out his fustration on everyone he can focus on here. I am not the only one. But because I am a woman, he gets particularily nasty with me.
This is exactly the reason HTC accounts need to be locked directly to BBS accounts. It validates who a person is in real life and provides real incentive to behave in the forums.
In the MA, people also act out... usually a passing temper issue but they are held accountable for their actions if HTC received actionable information such as a screen shot or film and can and do sever their access to AH.
With the BBS, there is no accountability at all. People who enjoy causing trouble simple get around the system and keep creating new BBS accounts after HTC bans them. Prehaps a ban of the IP or IP group might work.
Prehaps HTC contacting the offender's ISP and their local law enforcement might work.
This is never going to end till HTC takes action to ensure accountability for behavior of repeat trouble makers on the BBS.
I understand than HTC wants new accounts and thus requires no real life authentication of new user's personally identifying information for the two week free access to the MA.
Thus free access to the BBS helps cement a budding AH addiction
but...
There can be a free access forum section or a seperate forum and the real forum unaccessable completely unless a person has a real subscription.
HTC ended h2h because of various abuses by people without accountability.
Now h2h trouble makers are focusing on the forums.
If HTC doesn't do something that works... I, in the end, will be left with no recourse but to withdraw from the BBS entirely so he can't find me.
And that is exactly what he wants.
