While you're right in some ways George, I don't think ignoring Cornwiggle is the best answer here. In my experience, trolls who want attention will go away quickly if you ignore them. Trolls who are there to torment you, however, tend to be remarkably more persistent, and while you are right in that they will give up and go away eventually if you ignore them, that takes time, and the stress and emotional strain in the meantime is not to be underestimated. That being said, I don't know how much power you have to keep him from harassing users if he is already permabanned. Perhaps some kind of word scrambler as was used for Hatter? I know, too, that you guys have no power over other forms of communication outside the org. My advice to you, silverknight2015, is to block him wherever you can, ignore him where you can't, and if you have to engage him, don't argue with him or get emotional. Don't even try to argue with him using logic, because trolls and logic are about as synonymous as youtube and quality. Blow him off, make light jokes, make sure he knows you don't give a crap about him, because as horrible as he and his ilk are to deal with, they are a bunch of insecure, miserable human beings who aren't happy unless they are picking on someone they know can't physically punch them in the face. :P

I also noticed a pattern in "Cornwiggle stalking victims" is that he begs them to watch his videos AND WON'T STOP. I kept coming up with bullshit like "I'm busy and I'll watch it later" which was a mistake because he got really persistent about it. :x

Just tell him flat out that he's a terrible editor and you'll never watch any of his stuff again. Of course, I decided to be fair and watched some of his youtube videos and he's quite awful. :dino:

I laugh at how Cornwiggle has a dating profile on the internet.

.....

But yeah what everyone else said, just ignore him when you can.

I'm legit surprised he's still around. This is what, five or six years now?

About the emotional thing. This account is used by a small group of AMV editors who share their works and post and monitor things on my behalf, but I'm the one that primarily owns it. Of course the downside is that I bare the brunt of whatever jerk decides to screw with us.

With that said, I'm deployed in Afghanistan with the military right now with one more month in my tour before I go home. AMV's have pretty much been my only source of entertainment over here.

Recently, I attempted to send a number of emails to my family and my wife wishing them a happy new year, and hoping to see them soon when I get back to the states...... UNFORTUNATELY, I was NEVER able to send those emails.....

Cornwiggle, spammed my email box today with hundreds of spam emails, overloading my email box and effectively locking down my account. Due to security issues here on base, I have to wait a week, before I'm approved to use a different email account to EMAIL MY FAMILY!!

The guy just got between me and my family over some childish issue regarding AMV's. I've been pretty patient with him up until now. And it wasn't until now that I realize that he has absolutely no regard for the well-being of others. He does not care about anyone.

And when I think about risking my life everyday to protect this jerk's freedom so that he can ruin my New Years and my Family's New Years, I start to wonder if he's worth my blood and sweat.

New Email Accounts have to be cleared by base network security..... in other words, the military wants to know what email accounts your using so they can track it more easily. Because of the holidays and all the admin backlogging, it'll take a week before new email accounts a approved. Kinda lame really.

I'm a man of alot of patience though. I'll contact my family through other means on Sunday.

My point is, this Cornwiggle guy really needs to learn a thing or too about empathy.

He's obviously got issues. I mean, I have a complete lack of social life but goddamn, cornwiggle takes that shit to a whole new level. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't an heroed and given us all the break by now.

Yeah, thus the hopeful discussion with other mods - I honestly have no control over anything outside the forums myself, or even with things like wordscrambling. I'm sure something can be done, though. And as far as power outside the .org - well, technically it is possible to take Scott's "restraining order" advice a little further and just get him legally barred from the .org. Not sure if we want to go that route either, but that is possible.

Anyway, silverknight2015 - my sympathies on you having to deal with this guy. We'll see what we can do I guess; he's well known and we are on it though.

not so much a restraining order for the org but silvernight could get one i'm sure if he's causing him that much trouble. a solider who's out of the country fighting a war while trying to contact his family but can't because some asshole spammed his e-mail box. i think that should go over rather well in court not to mention put the prick in his place.

Probably not the best idea, at least, from the org. We shouldn't draw any court attention ever if at all avoidable. However, should things get that bad from user perspective, restraining order activity could be sought after per user basis. I have no idea if that last sentance makes sense, I am far too drunk/stoned to care.

Fair enough, but I also certainly feel some responsibility on behalf of the .org for getting that douchebag access to his victims in the first place. Besides, he's been known to harass far more than one member here, so from the .org's perspective it would be good to permanently bar him in some way for good.

And the whole 'legal attention' thing isn't necessarily a problem, although I'll shut up before suggesting anything else as I'm officially not qualified to speak on these matters or legally represent the .org. :uhoh:

Has anybody thought of just...perhaps...using admin powers to get his home phone number, calling him, and calmly addressing that if he keeps pushing motherfuckers around here, that we'll start pushing around in HIS personal life?
