Earning, Blogging, Tips and More

I have been once a victim of a whiny cyberstalker. One of my readers called the cyberstalker "whiny" so I'll use that description too. That was one of my most stressful experiences in the online world. I was so confused, angry and irritated. The cyberstalker was filling my blog and chatbox with indecent comments. He was destroying my AdSense by clicking on it 200+ times. Google though knew it was hate clicking that was happening and did not do anything against me. He was trying to manipulate me! He said that I must follow his orders, his wants, that I must obey him. I was so angry I resorted to tracking the IP Address. That is then that I found out that he is also a Filipino, possibly from Cebu (where I live). It is sad knowing your fellowman is trying to destroy you. Evil people really do exist. Anyways, I threatened back that I will report the incidence to PLDT (the ISP of the cyberstalker and my ISP too) and that I would ask help from them in tracing that person. He is gone. I hope forever.

Just recently, another cyberstalker, possibly the same one flooded my chatbox. My chatbox only! That is then I realized that before, I had the default commenting system of Blogger, which is really very weak, that is why he was able to penetrate my commenting system. The recent incident also made me realize, hell, Disqus can be a cyberstalkers enemy.

Disqus, traces the IP Address of a commenter already so one need not to resort to tracking scripts to get rid of cyberstalkers. Acquiring the IP Address of a commenter can mean a lot. The internet police can use it to track the person, or you could just ask help from the ISP using that IP Address whether dynamic or not.

I am glad I am already using Disqus on all of my blogs. Besides the great features, it indirectly scares away whiny cyberstalkers. Shoo shoo!
