What is WRONG with people?

[ratherastory]

Just had to ban someone from ohsam for posting the most horrific, insulting, gross comment to someone I happen to like and respect tremendously. Heck, even if it had been to someone I don't know, it would be just as bad.

It was an older post, too, and the comment seemed totally unprovoked as far as I could tell. It's not a bot, either, because I went and checked to see (so I could report the bot if necessary), it seems to be an actual person with other fandom people friended.

What the hell, I ask you?

Needless to say, this person's ass has been banned from the comm, no questions asked. This is the good thing about being the mod: I can decide if there will be second chances, and this time there will be none.

Jesus.

I hope so too. I've already PM'd the person in question to let them know it was dealt with swiftly and with extreme prejudice, and I hope they don't take it badly. It was very clearly a troll after I did more digging around.

That is very unfortunate :(
Good on you for being swift and deadly in dealing with it though

I'm just glad it happened while I was online & checking my email, so I was able to jump on it.
