    I host a certain search engine designed especially for discussion boards like SBAF. My site has a specific ability to show deleted content from external sources (if desired), in a reorganized manner, but maintaining the original form of the discussion, including all of the metadata ( thread titles, timestamps, nicknames etc ).

    Now, sometimes threads or messages are removed from boards for various reasons - sometimes because they are utter bs or just because they contradict with moderation guidelines, without actually being untruthful or insulting.

    There was this case, where a merchant on a local "ebay" had been deceiving and threatening people with violence who fell for his hanky-panky trade "deals". These deals were discussed on a certain discussion board, where he received accusations from multiple different people.

    He took part into these conversations and managed to coerce the board management to remove all of the content concerning his actions. Now it beats me why didn't the other participants take things further - probably because they didn't feel it's worth of their time or money.

    I, however, decided to keep this content visible, which was earlier indexed by my search engine and then deleted from the original source. I deemed it contained valuable information about this merchant's trade "policies". I might also add none of this discussion included any personal details - only a nickname of the said merchant.

    And before you know, I also received a request to immediately remove this content from the said merchant. I declined and boy did that change my life for the following years.

    I woke into a new reality where I'd constantly find new threads about me on various discussion boards using every kind of belittling technique. Nothing in those writing were even remotely true. Most of them contained my home address. This went on for almost three years. Now, if I originally had any doubt of the validity of the writings I decided to salvage earlier on, it was now long gone.

    Damn, what a story! It must have been hell. Glad you prevailed. Hope you got enough cash out of it to be something of a comfort, and that the bastard has something to actually pay it from.And I hope it has taught him to be quiet and stay quiet.

    Congrats! It's rare for trolls to stand up for their actions, IRL they usually crumble I'd assume?

    He was indeed sentenced to pay a fine and a four figure compensation sum for me. Now, I don't know whether he is actually able to come up with that kind of money, but he will be declared bankcrupt if not.

    And like most trolls I've imagined to be like IRL, he was very, very quiet. Except for the "dindu nuffin" part.
