I'm not sure what you mean. What
"appropriate actions" do you
recommend?
I have pretty basic actions in mind: Try identifying him and then take
care about him (talk to him, tell social services about this poor soul,
etc.). Yes, that's a time consuming job.
In an emergency situation, like the one we faced on
Saturday morning,
it's unrealistic to hope that we can find and get a sysop on the other
end to take action.
It might be okay to "ban" someone for a short period of time, but it's
not okay to ban an IP number longer then half a day or so. If the
attacker is a criminal he probably has mask his identity, etc. I'm
sure I'm telling you nothing new.
