Hi folks. Recently a sicko spammer came onto two different local sites and posted a load of pretty nasty porno pics and a pile of links in every singe post. Must have taken hours to do it. It could be the same individual on both sites but who knows.
Anyway a lot of forum members are curious to know if theres anyway to report him to the authorities?
Is his IP address always the same, like unique to his computer? And that be sent to his ISP to warn them? Just questions some members are asking.
Thanks for any help with this!
Cheers!  :)

Strum,

With the IP you will be able to locate his ISP (internet Service Provider).   You can send in a complaint to them (they can usually decipher which account is responsible.   

Here is a bit of info on SPAM, what the law says and what you can do about it:
