got a user violating the terms of use of the forum, could people please help out by "reporting" him. you'll see when you hit "flag" that you can put a reason in, and the description explains what's inappropriate: harassment, rudeness, fighting and so on.

Hi Luke,
It is all this but i dont believe that reporting him is a good way to handle difficult people. Also, reasoning and arguing doesnt help either, most probably he will be very happy to continue (this is what he wants). In the same time there will be more difficult ppl. My point is that you need some strategy how to handle this and if you do this welll it could bring you long term benefits for project.
Ask for advise, do trial&error, dont treat this guy as an enemy but rather opportunity to improve your overall communication and product or if you really think it is not owrthy, ignore him.
Regards, Hrvoje

when they're breaking the terms of service of the site, and they're bringing the forum into disrepute as a result.... yeah.

Yes, it's not worth spending time on these people. Everyone can see that you've been constructive and actually doing stuff whereas those people are just pundits, impatiently stamping their feet for people to bring them the latest and shiniest, having no idea of the cost of anything, and insulting people trying to educate them.
I also find it remarkable that so many people care about GPL violations all of a sudden. They probably all have smartphones whose vendors ship licence- violating blobs, not to mention the surveillance-enabled firmware all those things are presumably running, but because they felt that they got a great deal with their quad-core, multi-gigahertz, big-screen monster they're probably proud to give those smartphone and chipset vendors their repeated custom.
It's also worth noting that people like the Software Freedom Conservancy, who are regularly criticised by cowardly anti-copyleft trolls for supposedly making businesses afraid of copyleft, actually believe in constructively resolving licence violations through as many avenues as possible before even considering litigation. All those suddenly-vocal people sure have strong opinions about something they will nevertheless do absolutely nothing about themselves.
Myself, I thought it positive that you convinced at least one person to re- evaluate their position and to take a proper look at the campaign. By staying positive, all the vocal naysayers are easily seen to be the trolls they really are. And their forum thread outbursts are easily forgotten as more articles and news appears, of course.
