I need to call the police in Napier, New Zealand...

[Lemon Zing]

It's about my troll.

What code or number do you dial for that country? All these international numbers are a bit awkward. I have been left with no other option. In the meantime, I'm gonna be gathering up all evidence of his online harassment of me. They'll likely be able to find this guy's home through his IP address.

Where are you ringing from?

You might start here rather than attempting to contact them by phone to report an "online incident".

Though it does clearly cite: "If you are outside of New Zealand please report the incident to your local law enforcement agency."

I suppose you have to consider that while New Zealand takes Internet trolling quite seriously, that they may only be prepared to pursue such matters legally if both the offender and their victims reside there. I suppose that's the first thing to ask about if you are able to successfully contact New Zealand's authorities.

Understandable legally, but I suspect in many cases this offense is most likely to cross national borders to begin with.

Edinburgh, Scotland.

After getting daily abuse from this guy and warning him dozens of times to halt this stalking, and telling members of forums to fully ignore him, it's no use. He's still at Love Forum and all these other sites, spamming my email accounts with password requests and posting very vile things, and personal info like my name, my pictures and also sending strangers to my friend's house via Gumtree ads.

Are you certain that this person is not spoofing their IP address to make it only appear that they are from New Zealand? I mean, that sounds not only bad, but especially brash as well. I'd think someone doing something so overtly harmful would be concealing their identity technologically as well.

I doubt it's a proxy, because a lot of his banned Wikipedia handles edited New Zealand pages, and when he linked to an abusive (edited) picture recently, the header had an address to a New Zealand site as well. It's almost impossible to obtain a proxy in New Zealand. I should know, because I could only get tracks on the site called 7digital with an older version of Hola, since doing it the obvious way with the Apple store won't work, as iTunes doesn't allow for non New Zealand payment methods, and the new version of Hola doesn't work.

The staff at Wikipedia erased his three edits to this film page, called The Sidelong Glances of a Pigeon Kicker when they saw me bookmarking his Spark related IP address, then I emailed the administrator who pretended to help with this matter. The troll came there because he saw me posting at forums about me adding "uncredited" roles to Sylvester Stallone related films, and complaining about IMDb erasing them, due to not being verifiable. The moderator is corrupt. He initially pretended to help me. He then said in an email that they have to "routinely delete accidentally posted" home IP addresses. It's all lies. An IP address can edit Wikipedia, as well as a unique name. He also has a sock puppet page which lists his other banned accounts, and judging by their editing patterns, he edited a lot of New Zealand type articles. Also, on IMDb, it comes up saying on my films, "Users who liked this also like..." and it has New Zealand films showing up. I'm not in New Zealand, so that wasn't me. I've reported him to IMDb lots of times now for adding fake posters. So I think he has slipped up on the odd occasion.

I sent a report to the link you posted.

I'm inclined to think that you have nothing to lose by using their Netsafe link and questionnaire. Let them respond as to whether or not they're willing to pursue your case.

I filled that in and sent it off about 10 minutes ago. I really find it exceptionally odd that User:BU_Rob13 from Wikipedia only erased the edits for that IP address, and not the others. Why do that if there's nothing to hide? The IP address page is still there, but there's no user page or talk page showing up anymore. Hereby, the IP address did exist on there at one time. Unfortunately, they've covered their backsides legally by clearing his tracks, and there's not even a 'deletion log' anymore. I've since been banned.

This was my account. I stuck to their rules. I always added in citations, true facts, and whatnot.

I didn't spam, annoy anyone or violate any major rules. I just said I was this other user from 7 years ago, and I had several years of edits that spoke for itself. Yet after they banned me, they tampered with my talk page so now I cannot even delete my block appeal. They never try to resolve petty disputes privately. They lure people into publicly replying on a page that anybody (trolls included) can view, but if you do that, it's like playing into their hands. All they'll do is, they'll ban your access to your own talk page so they can laugh at your appeal notice forever more. Wikipedia staff are just drunk with power. I actually reported them, but I didn't get a response.

Why am I not surprised? Years of edits down the drain. They also blocked my IP address so I cannot edit until April.

Just a word of advice. Probably not in your best interest to be posting all this in an unprotected thread where it can be quickly harvested by outside bots.

Perhaps the mods can relocate this thread (members only) accordingly if you ask them.

With respect mate, the Police won't do anything about Internet trolls, it's a CIVIL matter.

A few years ago someone filmed me attempting to do sit ups and push ups at my Karate class, and due to disability I can't do either to save my life, not even now and I've lost a lot of weight since then.. The filming was done without my knowledge or consent and uploaded to YouTube under the title "Retard does exercise", naturally I went ape and reported the the guy to the local Police for harassment, all they could do was post Security officers at the Leisure Centre Sports Hall, because for obvious reasons they have "No filming" round the swimming Pools, but there weren't even aware of filming in the Sports Hall.

Wow, Rich. What a NASTY, DISGUSTING thing to do to you! One reason why I would never venture out to those places.

I begin to think that my extreme social phobia is a blessing in disquise.

Similar has happened to others. This so called beauty took pictures of this big woman who was excersising and said: how many pizzas as this fatty had and a huge grinning smilie. Thankfully, she was forced to apologise, because it back fired on here and guys were saying if she thinks she is anything special, she wants to check herself in the mirror and that, at least the "fat" girl was doing something about her weight.

By the way, bravo for losing weight.

It's also worth mentioning that it's very hard to find working proxies for Wikipedia. You can spend your whole day trying a list of these, and the majority of them are already blocked. I'm astonished at how many of these 'open proxies' are blocked. To be honest, I don't like posting under my real IP address either, but I still do this. Even if he did 'accidentally' post with his own IP address, that's really too bad. Cry me a river, and it does not justify a moderator tampering with evidence.

I've edited with my IP address from home too, because I sometimes don't log in, or it's just a minor contribution I want to put on a page, and in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. If I emailed them now and asked them to delete my logs, as they did with his, would it happen? No!

One thing that ticks me off about Wikipedia in general, is that some staff members are like the Nazis in Germany. Even if you post legitimate stuff on there, these "fanboys" or girls that have moderating power, well they only seem to want to add info that they will personally approve, regardless of whether it's really true. For example, a celebrity may do something pretty awful in reality, that warrants a mention under their "personal life" or "legal troubles" section, and then this moderator takes a totally biased approach to this other user's edit, being their precious #1 fan and in charge of their Wikipedia entry. Pages that I must stress, are open to anyone, and therefore, they won't approve the edit. Biased moderators shouldn't be allowed on Wikipedia. Yet for the low level pages concerning people that are still alive, but few members perhaps know of, it's like, "Oh, well. Carry on!"

Why did Wikipedia delete the lists of US box office number one movies for the years 1960 to 1981, but keep 1982 to 2018 intact? What the hell? I just saw that they were recently removed. They always delete information that people actually want there. These pages helped me greatly when it came to purchasing films for my enormous DVD collection. Otherwise, it's a nightmare trying to get info like this anywhere else. Even on well-known websites like Box Office Mojo, you don't get a comprehensive way of knowing what films are number ones, unless you search for them separately. Nobody has the patience to do that.

Number one films are just as relevant to have listed, as are number one singles, or albums. Uh! I need a chill pill, or...something.

The problem you might have is if you go to the local police and they're asking a CSP for communication data and there h.q are not in the UK but they are operating in the UK they don't actually have to ,they may cooperate with the local police presumably to not get bad publicity .

I hope so. I cannot believe the owner left that forum with no moderators. I told members to ignore him completely (including not replying to word game type topics he posts in either) and they don't play ball, which is encouraging him to stick around there (or they cannot tell who is who any longer).

That's the problem with forums in general, you can have a forum where to Mods are TOO active and shoot everything down, and a forum where there's almost NO Mod activity and the place is basically anything goes, it's finding somewhere that's kind of in between that's good, where you can post comfortably without the watchful eyes of the Mods peering over your shoulder every time you post, but you know they're on hand if there is any bother to be dealt with.

Hopefully, you'll be able to go back to your local gym now and not be subjected to any more of that horrid bullying this guy put you through. Picking on people can really lower one's self-esteem.

I had big 'buck teeth' in my school years and I wore braces to try to correct the issue. God, they were not comfortable. I then got a lingual brace fitted behind my bottom teeth. After finally getting that out, the orthodontist asked my mother if 'I eat' and that was just so rude. Of course I eat. If I didn't eat, I wouldn't be alive. I've always been naturally thin. I was asked to go back to wearing braces to help straighten my teeth, but I had enough. I wore them for 5 years. I hated them. I was called Raticate, Bugs Bunny and other names. Due to my myopia, I should have been wearing glasses at school to see the board, and I rarely did. Even my ex called me a rude name related to wearing glasses once. Being short-sighted isn't cool. I cannot see a computer screen now as my myopia is so advanced.

Just keep eating those carrots (it may help prevent a retinal tearing, but it does not cure myopia).

could you afford laser surgery ,is your prescription below 6 1/2 ?I had laser surgery 26 years ago and my eyesight is still good enough.
it was £395 an eye I don't think it's much more now and there is probably a clinic in Edinburgh ,there is one in Newcastle.
what they did was operate on one eye see How it healed and then operate on the next one !but the technique is more accurate now so it heals much more quickly.

 

[Judge]

I'm guessing that a minimum of reciprocity between law enforcement agencies may be the key to whether any real action is taken on such a thing. That if the authorities in New Zealand must contend with their counterparts in the UK, not much may happen if it remains at the level of a civil infraction.

In essence it appears New Zealand at least on the surface appears more proactive about cybercrimes like cyber-stalking than necessarily other legal jurisdictions. But that's just my subjective analysis of the circumstances.

Provided of course that the offending party does in fact reside in New Zealand.
