Questions -
Hi,
Some people at my forums are posting bad comments about my site. I think they are all the same person just using different usernames. How can I tell. I think this because I don't get that many hits to my site as of yet.
Sincerly,
Michael

Mike,
I know what it's like to get comment like that. It's happened many times to me. Even though it's very disturbing you HAVE to keep your cool. The best things to do is not even answer back, just go on with daily life. But, if you must answer back, make sure not to show your anger. People will remember that and remember your immaturity. So be careful no matter what you do. And take the comments as constructive criticism the best you can. It may be harsh but I'm sure he's got good intentions, just a little harsh about it.

Well,
It looks like this business is over. Good. I tried to follow what was going on but it seemed very muddled, so I won't take sides.
Just remember they are you're forums, do what is needed to halt any trouble, be it banning the members or just deleting posts.
But as Ryan pointed out, don't act immature. It never helps.
Sincerely,
JP

Yeah, it is basically over. Thanks everyone for your help through this. I'm glad it is over. I didn't ban him or delete his posts. I just merely closed the ones I didn't want replies to anymore because they were just getting way out of hand. It is really hard not to get mad, but I think I made it through and there will always be people like this, so I might as well get used to it
