What do you do if someone is stalking you on the forums? Posting everywhere you post, contradicting everything you say. Hitting "report this post" only results in the thread getting locked. When you contact admin they send the person a warning but the person still relentlessly follows you trying to start an argument?

Why are people allowed to do this?

I was accused of doing just that once, when I was only making a round in the help section.... I think the best way to deal with it just to take a step back, they can't stalk you if you are not posting. Have a better day ;-)

I think admin would probably want to know if that sort of thing is going on, report it.

that's pretty nasty

There are some very immature people on these forums. I'd just keep on admin until something is done. the squeaky wheel and all that....

Okay, that is just totally weird....

it's just me, but i might quiet myself a little and hope that they get bored...
