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.

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.
