Actually, there is that law about being a nuisance on the internet.
And in case of extreme trolls, a site can always put somebody's name in the TOS stating that they aren't welcome on the site, blah blah. I've seen it done, heh. Of course the cost of persuing any legal action against the guy wouldn't have been worth it once we sniffed out his new account, but yeah.

Trolling is annoying so it fits the bill in my mind, at least
No problem I'm going to guess that it would be pretty hard to actually follow up with something like that, but idle threats are always worth a tryThankyou so much, you saved my life God bless you ! (I hope your christian :greengrin
How lovely. I could never understand why on earth, of all the things in the world, somebody would choose trolling as a pasttime. I've got oddles of stories from my old forum. There was this one wack job that honestly had to be mentally ill... he had to have made 30 accounts at least, quasi-stalked people (requesting boob pics!!) and threatened to kill and sue and oh the list goes on.how annoying lol
Urban Dictionary: trollWhat exactly is a troll?
The crazy ones go to great lengths to find proxies or even change ISPs. Guh.
I can see how it's annoying, but when you can do things like IP banning(which will stop most people)
