Hello.
I recentlly have been a member of a private online forums site. I am a registered user there. A few days ago i was reading a topic addressed to a few "flamers" as they may be called.
They are accused of harrasing other members of the site. Keep in mind the ONLY harrassment has occured in the topics posted. It has not moved into e-mail or anything else.
The owner of the site threatened to ban the ISPs of these memberes. He also made the statement that, in the event these banned people accessed the site though other Porxy settings he would prosecute them for "trespassing".
While i am pretty sure he cannot do this, i was wondering what the laws are conserning re-visiting (and registering) on a site you are banned from. Does the own have any legal power?
