How can we stop a heckler that's trying to destroy our stock message board?

Question

An obnoxious heckler has for the last week been trying to destroy a popular stock message board for Geron Corporation (GERN). He uses dozens of different ID's and posts hundreds of messages every day to destroy the readability of the board. Me and every poster on the board have been hitting the "report abuse" link and begging for Yahoo to shut down his IP address, but they haven't even killed the messages that are sexually obscene and destroying communication. Is there a way I get through to Yahoo and stop this idiot, otherwise me and a lot of other people are through with Yahoo and going to better moderated pastures.

Answer 1

That's really a shame. All you can do is report the post and push ignore on all his messages. It seems that Yahoo doesn't really care about moderating it's own boards.

Answer 2

Just ignore him. He's just hungry for attention.

Remember, Do not feed the trolls.

Answer 3

How about suggesting, on the board to the other posters, that everyone hit the "ignore this user" button when this "jerk" answers--he may stop eventually out of frustration.  Yes, this would be a good time for Yahoo to do their job, but hey, we're still waiting for the message boards!
