The Johnson County, AR board is gatewayed and it was hit hard yesterday by
Angie. I have not had any hits since 5:15pm Monday. I noted that she was
sending messages to other boards with the title of JOHNSON (as in Johnson County).
Location did not seem to matter (IL,AR, GA, etc) I filed complaints with some
of her "obvious" service providers: coolgoose.com and fateback.com because
she is in violation of their TOS. Got a response from coolgoose.com but
nothing yet from fateback.com. Don't know if complaining will do any good but
thought it worth a shot. Maybe, if we all sent complaints, the servers will do
something about her. To my knowledge all service providers have terms that
will terminate membership (free or paid) for this type of behaviour
(spam/bombing). Although it is doubtful that a person with type of mentality can be
stopped....who knows....she might get a bit of her own (frustration) even if she is
shut down for a day or two.
