Make a note of his most recent IP. Either he knows how to change it or he doesn't. If he doesn't, that'll combined with his posting style, will nail him. If he does, his posting style will do the trick.
The thing about kids is that they have short attention spans. He'll eventually tire of this charade and that'll be that.

That might explain two very recent, very close woodshed password requests I got from Rosh and austind.
it's a CO and a NE ip address and I'm not sure these two are related. Probably not, it's just that they came literally within 2 minutes of each other. I have a sneaking suspicion austind might be the "14 year old" cousin though, given the wording.
AR, there's no way to determine age on the internet but would it make sense (in a legal context) to have one of those "I verify that I am at least __ years of age" before granting Woodshed access? Sort of like youtube and their videos that are flagged for mature content. Not that uh...never mind.

We could, but the trouble I see with it is that:
1. Requests - and responses - are done via email and personal messanger. We'd have to retain copies of those (and the PMs would require screen shots) and store them in a central location accessible to all of us.
2. We don't have a way - absent creating a specialized forms page - to automate number 1. By that, I mean we would need to set up a web-based form that was tied to the database (or we could simply slap together an ASP with a small Access database) and direct everyone to use that. The form would contain a verification that would have to be checked by the requestor stating that the person is of legal majority in the jurisdiction in which he or she resides or from which they are making the request, and then store the request in the database. The form would then need to generate some kind of notice to all of us of the request so that it could be approved or denied. ASP probably isn't a good option - the server is running Linux, and Classic ASP doesn't run well on Linux (and an add-on, to boot). I don't know enough PHP to code that - DaveH or slacker might. Eric, any thoughts on your part? Do we have anyone to whom we can make a request for a form like that?
3. Assuming that we did number 2, I think we'd have to change the Woodshed password and require any one who still wants access to submit a new request.

I'd love to speak with him about harassment charges if he's a "former cop." He's basically threatning you there, real appropriate. :moreinterestingI'm pretty sure 1995 Huskers is this joker coming back from the dead. Since he's a Comcast user we have trouble banning him permanently because they give random IPs to their members when they get online.
Here's my take on the 1995 Huskers/Corn Power connection:
Three weeks ago yesterday 1995 Huskers was ripping into Mike because Mike was posting how proud he was of his son's play in baseball this year. It got out of line, and 1995 Huskers got a warning. He bitched at me about it via PM, and I explained that we do not tolerate personal attacks. He brushed that off, basically saying we were overreacting.
Yesterday he did it again, cracking on arkiehusker for posting about his son's baseball team, and I originally just changed 1995's status, didn't give him a warning. He bitched at me for changing his status, so I gave him a warning for the personal attack on arkiehusker because clearly he hasn't learned his lesson.
Now he's PMing me again, and telling me he's going to get this whole site shut down because we gave the 'Shed password to a 14-year-old (allegedly his cousin), and he told me it wouldn't do any good to go back and erase it because he had it on video - the same thing Corn Power/Husker Power/etc said he'd done.
1995 Huskers joined two weeks after this episode, and he's a Comcast user. It's possibly coincidence, but there's a commonality between this guy and the guy we had problems with before.
By the way, here's the last few posts in that PM thread:
I'll let you know what his reply is.

This butthead is trying to hack my password. I have 122 messages in my inbox from HuskerBoard regarding a new password request:

Yep, a kid. I know it's a pain for you, Lance, but picture of bastard sitting in his parents' basement, hammering away at the keyboard, raging at his impotence at being able to "get even".
By the way, I've banned that IP address. I think that will stop him from even being able to access the main page. Let's see if that helps.

I just set up a filter so if anything else comes in with "68.115.121.194" in the text it goes to my trash. No bother.
The one thing that concerns me is if he requested the Woodshed password from me and I sent it to him via email. That'll give him my email and probably my name.

HA, and I was just thinking 'it's too bad Knapp can't filter those emails, they're all from Huskerboard...
you're a smart guy
