Default Dealing with trolls...anyone tried this?

Ok, so the police don't seem to be interested in online fraud. But has anyone tried filing a complaint with a troll's ISP and getting their account cancelled?

ISP's will turf you for spamming, so you'd think fraud and theft would be against their TOS.

Just a thought.

Here's a site run by "PC Abusers" that is set up for Troll hunting. Other sites that have BST forums have also become associated with them.

TROLL HUNTERS

This is the type of dispute mechanism that RFD should think of implementing, if not run by them, by a group of dedicated and trusted traders within the community that are willing to donate some time so that this can become a safe place to trade. Information not available (ISP's, Registration Info, etc) to the average trader should be made available to this "group" so that these trolls can be hunted down and exposed.

RFD is quickly becoming known as the place not to trade due to very little action being taken against scammers. If the administrators don't have time to get a hold on it, it should be delegated to some other group. Inaction is not the answer and won't stop it.

I will be contacting them shortly to see if they would take a look at the rampant scamming that is going on here at RFD, and of course **siuyiu**...LOL.

..........Rant Over.........
