See: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-.../#post25694019

Pretty obviously same person who went ballistic and profane at another poster who suggested he tone it down.

As I said to AW now repeatedly, you really need to curb allowing brand new members to post new threads. By not doing, the results are like this. Or, as I have pointed out repeatedly, it leaves door wide open to very easy board spamming.

Is it really okay someone harasses a long time member like this??? Your failure to restrict these Newbie posts technically is exactly how it happens, and now at the post reprisal level. Ridiculous. Other boards can and frequently limit new member's ability to start threads, and often have a probationary status along side. Why not AW? Can't figure it out? Or, to be direct, perhaps addicted to the click stats and resulting revenue? When it then even leads to harassment like this? Really?

Also, it is so automated you even let a user name like that through? Really, x2? Again, other boards screen pre approval. Some check addresses against known SPAM lists. How about AW?

Please get on with doing the technical work. Enough is enough.

Obviously, ban the poster. Again. AND ban the IP address fully--and any that have been used thus far.

Another one this morning embedded in this thread. Just below last picture in reply 2--which itself is a blurred/blown up copy apparently of my avatar picture as you can see. https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-...el-a8-3036786/

And now back a third time, after I guess the homophobic ranting finally got him blown out on the last go. Still ripping off my own pictures as well.

See prior input in this very thread. Since he/she is back a third time in short order, AW is apparently not improving its new member scrutiny in any meaningful way so far. Just sign up under a disposable new name, and they come right back.

Now a fourth time... https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a8-...es-a8-3036844/

Like I suggested and this seems to prove in full, new member sign up and screening process needs work.
