Thanks for the reply, it's good to know that there is a system in place to report those kind of activities, and if the conduct is ongoing that there is some way of dealing with it. As I commented earlier to the OP: quote:
But "outting" him isn't going to change his behavior. At best, for a few days or weeks ( as long as this thread stays on page 1) he might not have any luck with the handful of subs who actually bother to read the forums, and then find THIS thread (or whatever thread you actually name Do-MeDom in...). At worst, he changes his nick, creates a new profile, and tomorrow it's business as usual. It's a frustrating position to be in. Clearly, Collarme can't "get in the middle" of personal relationship issues. They can't kick and ban everyone that gets complained about. If that were the case, who knows, I might've been kicked and banned already. But neither can Collarme do nothing if a user has a pattern of behavior that is disrupting the normal ebb and flow of the other users. Collarme has limited resources, and simply can not devote the time and effort needed to be everywhere, all the time, to protect the sheep from the wolves. But at least we now know that the wolves can be inconvenienced to some degree from this side, and how to go about doing that within the system that is in place. I fully agree that the victim in such cases should report the incident(s) to the police if they cross the line from annoying/embarassing to criminal. That's how John Edward Robinson (slavemaster) was finally caught and brought to justice. A victim of his abuse finally called the police, and a serial killer's web of deceit was unravelled and he was hammered. Please understand that I am not upset or angry with Collarme or any of the moderators. I think that it would have been more helpful to get the reporting process explained a bit earlier in the discussion, but hey, we finally got where we were going. As a mail list owner and moderator, Lord knows I've been less than crystal clear in how to deal with issues on my lists a time or three. Thank you, 11 and 1, for explaining Collarme's position, and how to go about dealing with less than stellar people using the service. - Geoff
