    Cyber Bullying on the VBulletin Platform

    Recently I reached out to the owner (I believe he is the owner*) of LINK REMOVED to tell him (ask him - offered up my drivers license as proof) to remove a topic online. Someone is posting as if they where me and making me out to be someone I'm not.

    I goggled the domain and found that the contact name was NAME REMOVED* from a painting company in the US. I emailed and got no response. Later I goggled the number and left a message. The page was not removed but simply made so I could not see it.

    I tried to track down another number for this man and later found a new thread on his web forum. The long and short was that if I called him again he would spread my name across gay, porn, wife swapping and other sites for a long long time.

    This certainly is not acceptable I'm thinking. I looked up the rules and found that the pages are not suppose to have violence, hate, racism and the like.

    Some many references to women it's alarming.

    Here is a fine example of what I found.


    The poster "Modern" is I believe the owner of this forum. I can not be sure since it seams they impersonated others on a regular basis. I did find another forum where the user name Modern was used at in the description he is a painter. With In this forum I found mentions of the owners name under post made by Modern. Pretty sure but not certain.

    Can sites like this be shut down or should I just accept it as part of being in the public eye. Sad if the later is true.

    Thanks for your help with this matter. I have dozens and dozens of screen shots and know who most of the regular poster are if this helps you.

    Please call me so we can help put and end to this hate and racism online.

    Best,

    We can't decide what breaches laws I'm afraid, you would need to take this to the appropriate legal authorities in order for it to be dealt with.
