yeah the first time he commented anonymously I contacted support to report it, and they said they didn’t ip block ppl bc it was too easy to get around

seems kinda lazy to me but *shrug* it’s not my biggest problem with ao3

ooh I still have the email

Hi,

The AO3 Policy and Abuse committee has received your complaint regarding the inappropriate comments left on "Basic". Unfortunately, since the comments did not come from a registered user, there is little we can do other than delete them. It’s not possible to ban anonymous users, and blocking guest IPs is ineffective, but we do have other useful tools.

You can alter the privacy settings on your works so that they are only visible to logged-in users, or enable comment moderation, which will prevent new comments from appearing publicly on your work unless (and until) you approve them. You can also disable anonymous commenting, which ensures that only registered Archive users can comment on the work, but will still allow guest users to leave kudos.

If you’re not sure how to edit the privacy settings on your works, you can consult our Posting and Editing FAQ: http://archiveofourown.org/faq/posting-and-editing#controlaccess.

Please, feel free to share our advice with other users who may be experiencing the same issues. We strongly advise authors and their readers not to engage these anonymous commenters in dialogue. However polite or rational you may be, it almost always leads to escalation.

We hope this alleviates your concerns. If you have any questions or any further information to add, please respond directly to this email.

both comments by anonymous user “fuck you lesbian whore” (classy name btw) are laced with rape and death threats. I have a good idea who they are (chapter 3 has a more tame comment along this line) and this appears to be more attempted revenge for a comment made nearly a year ago by my friend (this comment contained nary an insult yet acquired significant vitriole from the author and has since been removed). naturally I’ll delete both https://archiveofourown.org/comments/152610945 and https://archiveofourown.org/comments/152611353 fairly soon, but would rather admin have info should they need it.

ikr? they all have the same ‘arguments’ too? and use really similar language?

are we sure they’re even real or just a rogue piece of programming that staff are now using to chase ppl off the site ineffectively? DID TUMBLRBOT TURN EVIL?
