Foilholio wants to destroy kiteforum - any help to stop him appreciated

[Surfkiternew]

Hi guys, not sure if you saw his recent attack.

He is daily trying to add new users for his attack on kiteforum.

This is a very serious attack on me and my business, and since he is US american he will be taken to court and pay for his damage.

To stop his serious attacks and to push the matter please help me with personal information on him.

You can PM me that information. Name, address, local spot, picture etc.

If no one can help, I will need to use my contacts, but rather go the faster way with someone helping me who already knows him.
The info who passed me the info about him will never be know to a third person.

Thanks to all.

Yes, saw the "kiteforum.com" spamming.

About your enquiry, sorry I am not able to help you directly. But you just could take all IP-addresses from your logs he has used to post over the years including latest attack. Go to www.arin.net and enter the IP-addresses to get Internet-operator(s), and open connection to operator's abuse-address to ask a city where he's in to contact correct police department (most likely operator will not give address etc for non-police). Also that would give more hints on US people on what city/area he's based on - not many people flying Pansh-kites on US per city?

He is using VPN, won’t post with his home IP.
He acts very criminal.

But I will get him, that’s a promise.

Could you use Facebook profile for registration? Make Facebook control the amount of aliases he is generating. Wouldn't need to be a shared field with other users (or even readable field if you hashed it in your database - you could just compare the hashed values to see if the hashed facebook link matches existing banned users). Surely Facebook has the means to restrict fake profiles?

Haven't really thought it through so maybe you have a lot of people who don't have Facebook in their country or something - but its a fairly widespread platform. If you keep detecting and reporting the new facebook accounts, they might stop him registering new ones. Plus their lawyers have a bigger budget if he starts abusing the registration process?

Home IP address isn't that useful for most as they wouldn't be static unless you pay extra. Just as likely to be a mobile data connection which is shared IP address so you couldn't ban that or you would be hitting thousands of people potentially

Crazy. Can't help unfortunately, but good luck!

not everyone has FB...I thought about it too.

But, FB is helpful...I am hunting him down. I have several facts now and collecting more...

His local beach is Ventura in CA.

Anyone rides there?

He's like a virus
Got 19 personalities

Toby, how is he attacking the forum?

[downunder]

Hmm,

Toby, on which basis you justify this action?

There are tons of automated, unmanned, beasties out there which can act in the same way.

I see this on my sites all the time. My large sites are under attack 24/7. Who cares...Load balancing tools deal well with this. Cloudflare even better.

And no, the FB is not the option. The only option is to use a mobile phone for registration, and only for countries where ID is needed for the sim card. I do not like this approach but hey, it works.

Personally, have no issues with FH. Users come and go. Seabreeze is way way more hostile. And I met the owner in person, he is from Perth and living from SB.

The truth is, the World is changing and we need to adapt ( Im so reluctant tho).

Good luck.
