Some Databasix info
http://www.databasix.com/contactinfo/
Their AUP rather clearly tolerates trolling, even trolling under multiple accounts; however, I would not hesitate to recommend emailing them on a daily basis about this current spate of trolls, and/or forwarding every single message to them. However, I strongly suspect that the owner is a troll, so this will probably only make them laugh, at least until enough people are doing it for it to become a major nuisance. Please also feel free to report Databasix to your news servers as a nuisance troll source. More information will be made available as I find it. -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com |

Hey, Ya'll!!!!!
Did you Hear THAT?!!!!!! That sounded distinctly like a gauntlet being thrown down!!! May I be honored enough to be the first to pick up said gauntlet, slap the issuer of the challenge across both cheeks, and boldly proclaim my Seconds! I choose Jim and Sooz! It shall being at first light, I demand a full dissapearance of ALL characters/personalities, or it shall be To The Death. I choose my weapon to be the Qwill (or the modern equivilant thereof) Katie |

I have engaged in an email exchange in which the admin assured me that
trolling a newsgroup under multiple nics is NOT acceptable under their AUP. Either the admin is lying or you're in violation.

Oh, and trust me, trolly dearest, that I will not forward *any* message
more than once, or email a complaint more than once per day. Strictly within the proper bounds of reporting someone trolling under multiple nics. How annoying it is to your admin is strictly up to how often you post under all your plethora of handles. Of course, the possibility that the admin is simply running a news service for trolls has occurred to me. It will be interesting to see how that must be dealt with, if it's the case. Defending a newsgroup against flooding or trolling is not the same thing as netcopping. If you think calling in your trolly troops (have you any, or is it all just you under multiple nics?) will make a difference, you're deluded. Sucking up to me is pointless. I would really just appreciate if you would recognize that this is a group of real people posting here to share something they genuinely enjoy, and either pick ONE nic and join in as a real person yourself, or else go find some other activity in which you do find real enjoyment; something that will make you happier than ruining other people's enjoyment. Many of the people here are my friends IRL; it's not like it's a bunch of disconnected, anonymous screen names to me. I want you to know that.

I don't see waiting for the trolls to get bored as a problem at all.
Postings such as these have been usually only last a few weeks. Then they'll usually disappear when they _don't_ get the response they're looking for... or they find their next group to use as a 'victim'. Compare waiting for them to disappear and ignoring them to "Gary" (?) bringing a Troll Flame War into this group because of lots of nasty replies to their posts and the reporting of their posts to their isp's . I can easily ignore 'their' posts, either on my own strength or by using my kill file. On the other hand, he/she/it/they _do_ mean what they say about hating netKKKops and starting Flame Wars. They don't say that as an idle threat. It can easily be accomplished merely on the strength of their [the trolls] numbers.

sending and orchestrating the sending
of multiple bogus abuse complaints is, itself, a form of abuse. Exactly. The word "bogus" is important. If we sent our complaints, they'd....oh, never mind, you used piece of toilet paper (Brendy-Poo). |

As for ruining
other people's enjoyment, can you rightly speak for ALL other people? She speaks for me. Anyone else? Let's see a show of hands. |
