I'm afraid that if I respond directly to his email it will escalate into something even nastier....

If he really threatened your life, save a copy of the email, print a copy and call the cops in his area. Life threat is a felony.

Ya know what, I think I'll just delete that account and make a new one.
But I need to have him blocked from being able to access this site at all.

Hey, if you read the comments in that XP Ovakill skin where Jafo exiled this nut, I didn't even say any
thing bad...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WILL tidy this up for you, ^^Gabriel....shortly....

Well, I'm sure it's not Mr. Scott Sproat anymore, it's now Exiled Scott Sproat...
by JamMeister33 - 12/4/2002 5:02:11 PM

Uh, Jafo's a site operator and moderator here...he's the guy you file a complaint with.

Jam:

Make sure to save the threatening email messages.
If you right click on one of the messages and select "Properties" and then select "Details" there is quite a bit of information about the sender. Save a copy of this information too. (I usually write it down on paper too. )
Call your local police and inform them of the threat. They may want you to forward the saved email messages. Believe me, they can be traced. Absolutely anyone can be traced, no exception.

Wonder if we should send out the search party for Jafo? He must have gotten mails too?

Thanks for the excellent suggestions, motion!
Surely I'm not the only one this lunatic targeted.

Just email postmaster@whateverhisaddresswas.com

With a copy of his email. They'll remove his account.

In the meantime, just ignore him. I've met guys like this, they're always pathetic.

Sorry, JM...I was out doing 'stuff'...but back now.

First rule...do NOT respond.
As has been recommended, keep a copy and forward details to the police and/or his ISP provider.

Part of the Telecommunications act covers threats, stalking, transmission of prohibited material [eg child porn] and viruses, etc.


But basically, he's just a prat, and not worth your time...

No I'll check my mail....

Well....he'll have to improve...I get better emails from my FRIENDS....

Pity.....if he were an Aussie, I have a fellow Race Official in the Commonwealth Police [equivalent of the FBI] who'd knock on his doors in the wee small hours and 'suggest' he desist....

A short attention-span will have him forgetting all about it before his next nappy [diaper] change is due...

Thanks for all the great suggestions, people.
At first I was a bit upset, scared even.
But now I figure the idiot is probably 11 years old anyway so to heck with him.
I'll take the necessary steps suggested above and meanwhile I have deleted that email
account and opened a new one.
That one was starting to get spammed a lot anyway....
