What are the rules about stalking on DU?
What constitutes stalking?

What are your moderators told to do about it?

Does stalking require threatening comments or can simple but ongoing, repeated "Eddie Haskell"/"who, me?" type posts constitute same?

If you wish, I am happy to send you some private message links to evidence of such behavior.

1. I don't think we have a hard-and-fast definition of stalking.
It tends to be more of a we-know-it-when-we-see-it type of thing.

FWIW, I think behavior in one thread is not stalking. I tend to think it is spread out over multiple threads and multiple days.

2. Yes, that is exactly what I am speaking about - multiple threads, multiple days, weeks, months
One thread does not a stalker make.

One stalker can disrupt an entire thread, however.
