A poster here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093629/b...
Is posting private videos of my family. He keeps posting them everywhere for everyone to see. These videos contain my daughter in it and I don't want it posted publicly where any potential predator/child molestor could see them. The moderators aren't doing anything. This is a criminal act and this person could be banned. Could someone ban him for me since they won't do it?

They are on my private Chanel on YouTube. He got the link from so,done else and now is sharing the publicly.,they are not meant to be shown in a public manner. That is not why I put them up there. He's now claiming he's going to use sock puppet accounts: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097647/b...

If those videos were taken by you you almost certainly own the copyright. If IMDb is being too slow, you might as a last resort consider notifying them that this is a copyright violation.

he didn't find a link and even if he had , if you had it on private he would never had seen it . You could have just put your videos into a computer file on your own computer for your own enjoyment . Why would you even think the general public would be interested in seeing your boring field trips for you have posted them on You Tube for the whole world to see ?  Do you mean he simply Googled your user name and found the link that way ? obviously yes .    Use different names on different site  . .  I mean if you are even smart enough to remember another name and password . Maybe that's why you use the same name for everything , you just aren't bright enough to keep track of different names .

Sliat: Are you sure your videos are set to "private" on YouTube? If they were set to private, then they could only be viewed by you and the users you select. Could it be they are currently set to "unlisted" instead, in which case anyone who has the link to the video can view it? See https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/157177?hl=en&ref_topic=2946312.

Yes they are listed to private. But if you have the actual adresses of them you can see them. Even if they weren't he has no right to post them there. He's done it again. The ad,ins only delete them but don't stop him from posting them again. Can someone here please take appropriate action?

Now it's reposting them after being removed and is making sexual comments. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097647/b...
Can someone please block him, at least temporarily

It looks like a standard, everyday flame war. Staff would likely take action against both of you.

Please report the user once and then place him on ignore. Throwing gasoline on the fire is just as bad as being a troll in the first place. You're giving him exactly what he's trying to get out of you.

Further, unless you want everyone in the world to see a picture or video, don't put it on the internet in the first place.

Good luck.

This is an unlisted one. I have it there for the benefits of her family. This person is writing sexual thing about my wife, it gets deleted and he simply posts it again. Why should I bother even reporting it if he's just going it report it again? Why would I put him on ignore when he can put it as much as he wants without my even knowing. Secondly he is listing our actual names that he found by tracking us down on the internet. Any time I report he just reposts? How am I supposed to stop my privacy being violated?

How has that worked out for you?

Taking the action of reporting gets it into the system. He experiences increased levels of discipline from the system. You should not continually report but do it once, then use ignore.

Taking the action of ignoring will mean he'll get bored if there is no response to his trolling and he'll move on. If you argue with him, you're making the problem worse for all of us as he'll know he's upsetting you. Why do you care what he posts once he's on ignore? As far as you're concerned, at that point, he doesn't exist.

he is listing our actual names that he found by tracking us down on the internet. Any time I report he just reposts? How am I supposed to stop my privacy being violated?
I guess there's nothing you can do about it since you put all that information out there. If you hadn't he wouldn't be doing that, now will he? Another reason not to put information out there on the internet if you don't want everyone in the world to see it...

Sliat: I think you're missing my point. Your videos are apparently not set to private on YouTube, because if they were, unauthorized people would not be able to view them even if they had the links to them. I think you should check with YouTube and get your videos set to private -- I don't even think they are "unlisted" now, much less "private". As far as I can tell, your videos are set to "public" now, because anyone can search for them by title, find them, and view them.

If your videos are set to private, then the "private" function on YouTube is not working, in which case you should contact YouTube.

I don't know why the other person is posting links to your YouTube videos, but if you don't want him to do so, you should mitigate the damage by (a) setting your videos to private, and if you can't get them set to private, (b) removing them from YouTube.

You are listed as unlisted. This person stalked me offline.
The person is posting this because he wants to try and "threaten" me into leaving.
The main point is that imdb leaves a message threatening if they keep posting things that are deleted, they may be blocked. Well this poster has really proven that warning isn't real. He floods the board with these. The point is it's trolling. If you have a look at the board it's now full of his comments now. Several people there are complaining about him. The only one complaining about me is him.
He has searched for activities online and somehow found out our names.
Even if the videos weren't private, he has posted it several time, flooding the board. Isn't that spam?

How did he stalk you offline ? you've seen him near your house ? you need some kind of proof for such an outrageous accusation . where's the proof ? You would have to have seen him someplace you go , and if you had seen him , I'm sure you guys would have attacked each other and been arrested by now . So where's the proof ? or are you just full of lies ? I mean , that's why he attacks you , because you lie all the time and make stuff up . That and how you love to joke about CHILD ABUSE and CHILD RAPE on a board for  A CHILDREN'S MOVIE !!!!! A friggin CHILDREN'S MOVIE that you go to on a daily basis to spout off all this gay bashing hate filled comments and jokes about PEDOPHILES and CHILD RAPE  !!!!!!!!!

The thing is on "ignore" (I use that term very loosely, this person can STILL see and reply to my posts. I would be more than happy to if he could no longer see or reply to my posts. Why doesn't imdb have this option. It makes the ignore basically useless

So what? Yes...they don't have that option as it wouldn't work. He could look at your posts with a second account or simply log out and read it.

You're misunderstanding ignore. It means you're no longer getting upset and either reporting him again and again (which gets your report button eventually ignored by the system to stop you from flooding it with the same complaint) and it means he's not seeing any reaction from you so there is no longer a reason to troll you.

For your own sake, just stop reacting poorly to what he posts as it only makes him do it more. If he's on ignore, you'll have no reaction to anything he posts because you won't read it.

Why not? On YouTube they have it. Why not have it here? Basically an ignore is not an ignore. It's not an ignore

Your regular You Tube channel is NOT private and you are a fool fro thinking that a You Tube channel is private and only for your use . If you had in private , he wouldn't have seen your videos . If you don't want your [private family videos seen by the public and can't take the weird comments you get , DON'T PUT IT ON YOU TUBE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE you moron . Ignore means you're supposed to be ignoring him , not the other way around .Are you special needs ? Do you where a helmet to your play dates or something ? Funny how you don't like and complain about someone else's sexual remarks but think your own comments joking about CHILD ABUSE and a CHILD RAPE  are the funniest thing ever . talk about the pot calling kettle black !!!!!!!  It's ok for you to make lewd disgusting comments about pedophilia and CHILD RAPE on a message board for a KIDS MOVIE , Karate Kid 1 and 3 ? You are supposed to be ignoring him but yet you take him off ignore because your curiosity is killing you and you have to know . Stop taking him off ignore . How can you be so dumb to confuse an option where YOU IGNORE HIM . Ignore doesn't and wouldn't make any sense for it to work the other way around meaning he  is ignoring you . He could have his ID blocked and still be able to read your replies .Grow up and stop living just to argue .  You want it to stop but you can't help but write back to him all these vicious lies . Hell , you made a cartoon about your adversary and posted it on YOU TUBE FOR THE WORLD TO SEE !!! but you think he is the problem and you are innocent any wrongdoing ? Posting jokes about CHILD ABUSE and CHILD RAPER on a message board for a classic family movie ? yeah you're a hero alright !!!
