Well, I was a moderator for a website, and i quit, which caused problems, so the admin banned me, i told him that he will regret banning me because i am starting my own site. The site that he has is a general talk forum, i started a general talk forum also. I contacted him several times to try to get me unbanned, to no avail. I logged in onto some of my old accounts on the forums, to apologize, no avail. A few of my members from my site went over and spammed the crap out of there forum, with links to mine. The admin over there is saying he is now going to contact my isp, my host and is going to take legal action. I shut down the board, what should i do?
You need to ask your members to cut it out. Email the admin and tell him that you have, in no uncertain terms, have told the people who were doing it to stop and that you will cut off their accounts if they continue. Ask him for a list of members who spammed the boards. The fact is that, if you're taking preemptive action against people who are abusing both your forum and his, I don't imagine that there's anything else that he's going to do. And if there is, you've got proof that you're neither supporting nor condoning the behaviour. If you have other questions, let me know.
