Really violent private message

[HardDrive]

Wow, I guess we've got a real nutjob in the forums. I get this:

Die painfully okay? Prefearbly by getting crushed to death in a
garbage compactor, by getting your face cut to ribbons with a
pocketknife, your head cracked open with a baseball bat, your stomach
sliced open and your......

It goes on from there, and gets much worse. It would be nice if we could track them down based on IP address and have them permanently banned.

Don't sugar coat it , tell him how you really feel. Geez, that is harsh..

[HardDrive]

Like I said, it gets much worse from there. More profane, and graphic. Person seriously has a screw loose.

[Embraer]

This message shows up on almost every forum out there. Google it and see, just another form of spam.

[RANDY P]

I got that years ago. I thought it was Normy...

[Tobra]

I suspected him too. I got one of those, but it must have gotten deleted. I do seem to remember it had a place in Old Blighty for a locale. Could not tell you the name on it to save my life.

It puts the lotion on its skin?

[A930Rocket]

I've gotten similar here. Report, delete and move on.

Sorry, I was having a bad day.

I know 15 years ago I was able to track ip's back to the isp then you could talk to the police in that jurisdiction (or fbi if it was interstate) they could get a court order for who it was and take it from there, I am pretty sure they can do it faster today

If the guy is a simpleton it would be easy to track his IP. But its also pretty easy to mask ones IP if you want. I'm not interested in law enforcement, he's just a wackjob behind a keyboard. But if he is a regular here, he should be permanently banned.

A search on the internet will show you this person plays no favorites. As gcord374 they hit a blogger. As STFU s_ithead he attacked a Broncos fan site. Etc Etc. When he sent me the same message it was on a 914 board. For the longest time I thought he was a dwarf that lived with his mother in Vancouver, BC. That turd signed me up for free porno sites (like I care). Enjoy that you have joined a exclusive club.

I got it too. It just popped up this evening. It's from williamblumfk38

[JavaBrewer]

I guess I didn't offend Wiiliam as severely. Just advised that I should off myself quickly.

I feel left out. I didn't get that one yet.

[Bill Douglas]

I got the same one too. I don't know why he picked on a b1tch like me.

[sc_rufctr]

You really have to wonder at the mentality of some who would send you an email like that.

Personally I wouldn't worry about it. Report, Delete and move on.

Forums etc are about light entertainment to me, nothing more.
I really don't understand why anybody would take anything that happens online so seriously but I also understand not everyone is like me.
