I think it is important for folks to know what I deal with here. Not only trolls like the OP, but those who defend them.

She doesn’t want the pervert to be labeled a “pervert”. That’s protecting the pervert. She has no interest in protecting me as she has engaged in repeated attacks on me both here and elsewhere. Given how much effort she devotes to criticizing my every move, including calling out an admitted pervert, I am always astonished that she continues using DCUM.

Let me be perfectly clear: As an IT person myself, I don't understand of your style of moderation. I believe when you run a site where your bread and butter is ensuring anonymity, exposing people you do not like to the general public in the forum is not wise. You do not know how far others will take things because you can't ensure the mental fitness of every poster. Furthermore, when you engage in name calling and accusations, you open yourself up for criticism.

I've stated before and will state again that my statements against your behavior on forum do not extend to you personally and/or professionally. I don't know you and respect you for having built this business into what it is. Entrepreneurship is to be rewarded. My 'beef', if it can be called that, is in the interest of fairness and respect towards your fellow posters on your forum - I think you lack both.

No one cares how you feel about this though.

I know that you (Jeff) can block IP addresses, but can you identify and block specific devices? I'm thinking this poster, who now admits to being (a very childish) 21, has graced us with his inflammatory comments throughout the forum. I can't imagine he'd go over to friends' houses to use their devices, so would that work in making this troll go away?

Not the PP but I'd be REALLY careful with such accusations .... like REALLY careful. And I say this not as an adversary, but as someone who was a victim of arrogant accusations - it didn't end well for the accuser...at ALL.

The poster just admitted it. You should really learn to read before commenting. You continually make yourself look foolish.

I understand he admitted that he posted such photos and I did see that. My point is that posting to the community at large is arrogant and that arrogance will eventually catch up to you. I've seen it happen to others.

It might feel good to do this, I get that. It might also feel good for you to call people racists, homophobes, etc, That only serves to paint a picture of you that could present a future problem

It would have been more appropriate for you to have stated to the person that they were blocked for legitimate reasons involving what you thought was a breach of DCUM rules and possibly the law, and that you were not willing to take that risk with a business that you run.

That poster is anon. Jeff wasn't making an accusation, he was explaining a situation. I for one, am fairly surprised at what the poster is willing to admit to, and appreciate that Jeff lets us have some insight into the things he has to deal with on a daily basis.
