Well, you could (depending on the aptitude of this person) set a unique ID cookie and cross-check it with the ISP (netblock or static IP) and the User-Agent to track the fellow, but that doesn't help you right now.

Sure, you could follow mojotoad's lead and compare the text of his posts. That would make for an interesting follow-up on how you implemented the software.

I hate to give a non-Perlish answer, but did forgiveness ever cross your mind? I think if this "Slinker" slinked his or her way back to your forum, perhaps they're deserving of another chance. Even on Perl Monks, there's reincarnation.

Of course, if they do it again, give 'em hell.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
