Ask a guy who almost got sued for trolling anything (srs) (pics)

Pic of email from the law firm (I blacked out my info, the law firm's info, and the website, just to be on the safe side - no misc detectives):

"Exhibit A" with a few of the names I used:


To make a long story short: I visit a pre-professional forum quite frequently. There's a lot of good info on the site but a lot of B.S. and e-stats. I eventually got bored and started lying on my first, original account. That one got banned, so I made another one... until finally, earlier this month, I had about 55 accounts (and about 50 of them were banned). This all took place over the past year. I was contacted by the law office about a week ago (I made the mistake of using my college email for my very first account, before I started trolling).

I responded to their email by saying I wouldn't use the site again (and I won't) but I also mentioned a handful of my accounts they hadn't tracked yet ("Myron Gaines," among others). Feelokayman but kind of scary. I think a lawsuit over whether violating a website's ToS is a crime would be interesting... I just don't want to be part of such a case.

Edit: My body is ready.

Cliffs:
-Troll online forum using over 50 accounts
-Receive email from forum's attorneys, asking to stop trolling

55 accounts??? WTF

[turboface]

is it that student medical site or whatever?

I think you've made them angry.

[WIDGE_uk]

bit weird making all those accounts bro.

in b4 this is a troll thread.

[Archangel_Lost]

a lawyer sending you a letter like that is just meant to rustle your jimmies, it isn't an actual looming legal threat

[userofpeace1111]

I guess they would sue you for breach of contract, but I really doubt they would sue you over trolling. Seems like it would be a waste of their time/money. However, you should troll anymore just to be sure.

[eternalone423]

bored much?

[Lulzzuwotm8]

lulz u wot m8

[Dudeicus]

Laughing mad hard here.

[Deceus]

I know quite a few people have been sued over botting games on grounds it violated ToS.

[AMERICAN_BEAST]

Tor > proxy > proxy = success

[Zackad]

Inb4 TeamPunishment bans OP strictly on principle

Inb4 we find out 1/4th of the misc is just OP on hudreds of different accounts.

[consmedclisi]

You made 55 accounts to troll a pre-professional forum?

Been lurking here for a while, but finally made an account in September. This site provides the lulz and I like posting in homework help threads etc. No trolling but I have had one visit to band camp unfortunately.

Edit: Inb4 mod neg inb4 permanent ban

[PhifeDawg]

Challenge them. The decision in a case such as this has potential to set an important precedent in Internet freedom. It actually has Supreme Court potential. I want you to go to court over this.

[supersaiyan-dre]

When trolling goes too far

[floppyflaps]

[decko47]

Post site so everyone on misc can troll at once.

[Stillmattic]

1. What's a pre-professional forum?
2. Can you actually do this?
3. Brb making forum, saying not to troll, suing everyone for millions and getting rich

[SOCALNINER]

Mirin?

I'm sure this is your first account.

Well, it's an interesting issue. What if you make a Gmail account and put a fake last name, or the wrong birth date or zip code? Are you breaching a contract? Is that grounds for a civil lawsuit? For me, someone not knowledgeable in this area, I think the real question is whether by clicking "Ok" on a website's ToS, you agree to a contract. I say, no. Interdasting indeed...

[Comatoria]

lold hard at swagina

[Gayford]

you are a habitual account creator. You probably don't even know your own self any more. GET HELP NOW OP.

[RaibeartBruis]

That would be organizing a "raid." No thanks Jeff lol.

What has been frustrating is being at band camp the past 30 days and missing out on so many good threads. Feelsbadman.

1. What's a pre-professional forum?

Like if you were a pre-law college student, you would visit a website for pre-law students in order to get info about the law school application process etc.

[zooked]

Trust me, they don't have a case. Do you know how easy you can make a half-assed lie and they'll have no proof to show otherwise? It's the internet man.


Found the forum, did a search of "Aestheticpremed" followed by "Forum" and got this
