If you've run forums, you know things can come up and put a wrench in your life. And sometimes it can happen with your forums. What was some of the most unexpected challenges faced while managing a forum? For me, there was one incident that bugged me. I wasn't a forum I owned, but it was a site I worked for and I was responsible for customer support, moderation of their forum, and did some other backend stuff. Anyway, there was an issue between users that resulted in one user coming from another site, bad mouthing the user, telling him to die, messed up stuff.
I warned the user multiple times to stop, they didn't, so I banned them. But, they kept coming back with new names, using multiple emails. The system we had couldn't stop it, so I had to ban and delete each new account this guy made. Was annoying and caused me a ton of stress and anxiety. Have you ever been presented with a challenge on your forum? How did you deal with it?
