Hi,

I am the owner of http://sportsbetting.myfreeforum.org
Please note that my forum can also be access using http://forum.sports-pro.co.uk

I have a problem with the owner of http://barneyssportschat.myfreeforum.org/

This person has been banned from my forum on countless times posting as different users intent on causing disruption on the forum.

Here is a list of the many IP's that this person has been using:-
194.81.112.11
82.32.4.196
192.171.198.10
194.75.236.69
172.215.31.93

I am pretty sure there are more but this is what we have recorded.

After being banned several times this person has started his own forum up and...

1) He mass e-mailed many of our users advertising his forum.

2) He has copied out forum guidelines word for word.

http://barneyssportschat.myfreeforum.org/Forum_Guidelines_about2.html

3) He has posted on his forum using usernames of popular members from our forum:-

I will post tomorrow with more infomation if needed. this user has crossed the line and my admin team felt immediate action was necessary hence a 11:50pm posting  

[admin (no pm's please)]

I have suspended this forum.

Thanks for that response. Much appreciated.

Any further advice you can give as this person has caused more disruption today.

I suppose the next step is to report the ISP that has been providing the IP numbers?

[admin (no pm's please)]

You can use the moderation portal to place new members on moderation.

Between that and simply ignoring them, they will go away.

Reporting to ISPs is hard going.
