ISP's Slapping Techs For Lending A Hand

Posted by timothy on from the hostile-workplace-environment dept.

Mike writes "Broadband Reports is running a story about how several large ISP's have reprimanded, even fired techs who offer support in BBR's forums in their free time. BellSouth is the latest ISP to forbid any official tech support representation. Instead of sculpting PR guidelines for techs to follow, they're scaring them into submission."

    Attention: Ekrout is a known karma-whoring Slashdot troll

    For the uninitated, erickrout is the kid who crapflooded Kuro5hin for months on end with at least a half-dozen accounts. For a long time, he dominated the Hidden Comments page with an interminable list of racist, sexist, homophobic, and completely self-absorbed comments.

    Eric Krout lives behind the protective mask of EricKrout.com but in reality is a professional slashdot troll only posting for unknown evil. Eric has been spotted on trolltalk attempting to be added to "troll back", a daily newsletter that rates how well various trolls have posted and karma-whored on slashdot.

    Whatever EricKrout might tell you in his posting is not true. He merely puts on a different facade for every article attempting to rack up mod points for no other reason than the fact that he is a self-absorbed punk kid.

    In conclusion, if you are moderating or replying to this comment, I caution you, it is 100% untrue.
