Capt PPRuNe posted the following on the FLYER forum

FYI, it is possible to get the immature trolls off the forum. I have done it with kids who thought it was fun to do a similar thing on PPRuNe.
In an attempt to assist Flyer I have advised them on how to deal with the problem. It is not instantaneous and can take some time but they are eventually dealt with.
What happens is that the IP address is traced back to the ISP and a message is sent to the ISP's abuse department with a copy of the server logs and a description of the behaviour and any rule breaking. They then can identify the user and pass on a warning on our behalf. If the offender persists then their account can be terminated. If this happens a few times they will soon give up.
This method does not require any court orders and will cause a lot of bother for the offender. I have advised that this is started here in order to put a stop to this kind of childish behaviour.

As someone who uses both PPRuNe and FLYER I would like to thank him for his help.
