Both companies actively scan for abusive and offensive behavior, with specific guidelines for what qualifies as each.  They do have links and resources to report those incidents.\n\nMYSPACE: http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=misc.faq&faqQuestionId=6\n\nQ. Someone on MySpace is bugging/harrassing/threatening me - what can I do about it?\n \n  \n\nA. The best thing to do if and when you encounter such a situation is simply ignore them... 99.9% of the time they will soon leave you alone. Remember, you can always remove the person from your Friend List (they will then no longer be able to add Comments to your Profile page), delete any Comments they leave on your Profile page, and you can even delete any messages they send you via the MySpace Mail system without opening them. By NOT responding to offending user (i.e., NOT giving them any attention, NOT letting them get a "rise" out of you), most people will simply go away.\n\nYou may also view their profile and click "Block User", which will prevent them from contacting you. Annoying people get bored very fast when you don't allow them to annoy you. If someone threatens you, contact law enforcement immediately.\n\nIf you feel threatened, please also read our safety tips here.\n\nIf they created a nasty profile about you or someone you know, you can contact customer service (and make sure to include the link to the profile!) here. \n\nAOL:http://help.aol.com/AIMhelp/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=http--helpchannelsaolcom-kjumpadparticleId219306&sliceId=&dialogID=194088357\n\nYou can report inappropriate messages from both AOL and non-AOL members.\nReport Offensive or Objectionable Instant Messages\n\nAOL staff will never ask you for your password or billing information over an Instant Message.\n\nTo report offensive or objectionable Instant Messages in AOL® 9.0 Security Edition:\n1. On the Instant Message window, click the Report IM Spam button.\n2. If the sender is an AOL member and the message contains objectionable content you wish to report to AOL, click the Notify AOL button. Otherwise, click the OK button.\n\nNote: If you wish to block all Instant Messages from that sender, click the Block all IMs from box to place a check mark in it before clicking the OK button.\n\nTo report offensive or objectionable Instant Messages in AOL® 9.0 SE/LE and earlier:\n1. On the Instant Message window, click the Notify AOL button.\n2. If desired, type comments in the large text box, then click the Send Report button.

record each attempt by their ip address and time they've registered and posted (if you are the owner, and admi of the forum and server its on).\n\nthen write / email the webhost/isp that owns that ip with a formal complain, and give them the times that were recorded along with which ip address.\n\nThat is as far as you can go.\nif the abuser still continues to do so, get a lawyer and give him/her the tracking you've done thus far. tehy will send a formal letter on your behalf to ask again the isp to take care of their abusing customer.\n\nif nothing happens still, then take the ISP to court to get a subpoena to find out who the abuser is and then sue them.

if you are recieving threats of physical harm, go to your local police precinct and file a complaint.  Bring copies of the email or other documentation with you.  They can advise you of your options.  \n\nIf you can trace the emails or know who they are coming from, you can also advise their internet service provider, as that kind of behavior is usually considered a breach of most provider's Terms of Service.

Install a powerfull firewall such as ZoneAlarm Pro and set it to maximum. Wait for the next attack (it will tell you when) and see the IP adress of the attacker. The go to http://www.ripe.net/whois and search for that IP's location. Sometimes there is a mail adress to which you can send your complaints.

well you could start by emailing the webmaster if your unsure what their email address is try the following receipients.\n\nwebmaster@domain.com, info@domain.com, root@domain.com, abuse@domain.com, contact@domain.com\n\nthese are the most common try adding these to the reciepient line and remember to be kind and courteous and explain what you find offensive or wrong with the site.\n\nI have hundreds of " visitors " to my websites a day and I have not had one complaint in 2 years.\n\nSo your very rare , I wish more people would comment about my sites.

You can look up their hosting company then report it to them. it is the responsibility of the hosting company to shut down sites containing illegal activity. If you don't make any progress with them, you can contact the fbi cyber crimes division. Is it promoting beastiality and/or showing images of said crime.
