FN-FORUM: to name and shame or not.

date posted 2nd April 2008 21:35

I've recently taken on a site for a client who was previously let down badly
by their previous developers. Now I realise there are two sides to every
story and I've only heard one of them, but they do appear to be a bunch of
twats. its seems they had been milking the client like a cash cow, and now
they money has gone away they're throwing the toys out of the pram.

Ever since I put up the new version of the site they have been posting
emails via the contact forms using an anonymous email service (pookmail.com)
now you'd think that if you were going to do that, you really wouldn't go
using an IP address that's directly resolvable to your business would you...


There have also been insulting comments made on various forums about the
quality of the work, and assorted general bitchiness, Normally I'd let it
slide, but the IDS stuff on my servers has started to kick off as someone is
running some penetration testing tools on them.

Fortunately the company is just too far away for it to be worth my while
driving down there and kicking off - but if my pager goes off one more time
tonight then the wife just might (and believe me NO ONE wants 5'4 of fury
like she can unleash kicking in the door - it'd be like 'kill bill' all over
again;-)

So, bearing in mind I can be reasonably sure it's them as I have the IP's
they are using - how would you go about getting them to stop fucking around?
Cause a fuss, or just ignore them till they go away?
