Annoying Trolls
Posted: Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:34 pm
Hi. I started a chat room here back in the Wyldryde days. Recently, I started getting trolls constantly coming into my room, sometimes even following me into other rooms, like #cnetfans. I decided to put a passkey on the room, and make the room "secret", only giving the room location to friends. This did not work. Before ANY friends were informed, the troll (or trolls) managed to get back into the room. I would repeatedly kick/ban them, but they IMMEDIATELY re-entered the room, with another, obviously fake address (like 026785.a.dead.cat.net).
Apart from totally abandoning the concept of a chat room (which was linked to my website), is there ANY WAY to stop those people from annoying the heck out of me? I talked to a moderator of a channel on a different server a few weeks ago, where the same trolls somehow found me there also, after nearly getting ME kicked from that room from their abusive language directed at me (and I have done NOTHING to whomever it is), that moderator, who also kicked/banned them several times, said it looked like they were using something called "bounce servers" to keep changing their address.
Any help/ insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
