Today I peed on Adrian

What do you mean, these are high quality philosophical posts

I've got personal e-mails from people who know about my relation to the project asking why is this on the main page..

Well, to be honest, I would feel very embarrassed if that happened to me. Why don’t you just ban him? You can just update your terms and conditions of this website in the faqs now and show this to him if he asks why he got banned. He can’t put any accusations on your website if you do it this way.

Absolutely,that's just what we need, more censorship because thoughts hurt... Hold me gently against your chest kind sir, protect me from this evil world.

Well, the problem with the Internet (without resorting to requiring passports) is that he can easily register "kos1", "kos2", "why_kos_was_banned", etc.. He wants to be banned. He wants attention. That's why he wrote his first article in the first place - so that people be pissed and get some attention. So, banning him plays right into his hands. What we really need is a way for people to be able to choose not to see this behavior and preferably by default. Who know - maybe there are people who want to read those "poems".

I’m not an expert but maybe you can do an IP address ban? And of course, no sign ups allowed through a proxy. This may not be so effective but eventually he’ll give up the fight on you after trying to sign up through different IP addresses and you simply have to ban those IP addresses. And also, can you add a report button? Suppose a post receives 10 reports, perhaps the post gets removed on behalf of the community automatically by the system?

One of the places where I worked I was tasked with "anti-bot" measures, meaning detecting bot traffic on site, proxy usage, DDOS attacks. It's very easy to avoid, it's very hard to detect. We spend years perfecting the technology. VPN providers charge like $3/m and have tens of thousands of clear IP addresses that are not marked as proxy in any way and are often rotated.

But, again, that's won't stop him. I remind you: he wants to get banned. That's his plan.

We also have a report button, but it's mostly so that we can react to obviously illegal or obviously hateful stuff. This post was reported. But it technically doesn't violate any rules, unless he clears who is Adrian. At that point it becomes a personal attack and it will be removed. Until then it's a shitty poem about a fictional character.

Where's the "report button" - looking for it on another new article.

It's on the list, not on the particular article. We need to add it there too.

He seems to be a really stubborn fellow and really wants to bring your project down. This may sound pretty dumb but why don’t you challenge him so if he loses he leaves? Obviously challenge him if you know you’ll win on it.

Don't worry. We'll deal with it.

Thank YOU! I feel so weak against thoughts and ideas. I seriously considered peeing on my cat this morning after reading that.

I've gotten personal direct messages on telegram saying my work is up there with Bukowski and that I should make it a book series

You should follow Bukowski's advice: "Don't try"

"Today I peed on read. I did. The next morning, I did again."

Thank you.
