Dan is a very persistent troll in the otherkin community. He has attacked Wulf Howl Forum, HowlNET, Werelist, Otherkinsight Forums, Feral Nature, and AnOtherWiki. He hides behind the Tor Anonymity Network and various Glype proxies in order to mask his identity. He claims to be part of a trolling group known as The Delcor Group consisting of himself and two other trolls, Ryan and Miki.[1]

Modus Operandi

Dan initially operated by registering multiple accounts on forums and utilizing them to send offensive content to users via Private Messages, often claiming to be a staff member of the forum he was attacking. He has used titles such as "LGBT Workshop", "Nigger Management Group", and similar others in attempt to offend users of said forums. Dan also connects to IRC networks to flood (repeating messages over and over) them and to boast about his attacks. Dan will also resort to more dangerous methods, such as creating hoax pages about his victims, publishing real-life details online, and joe-jobbing email addresses. On at least one occasion, Dan utilized multiple accounts to flood a forum with hundreds of topics and replies, in an attempt to make cleanup difficult for sate administrators. Dan will also resort to childish tactics such as sending threatening emails and demands, seemingly out of desperation once he is removed from a website.

Evidence

Banning

On January 5, 2013 Dan joined the #Dreamhart channel on Mibbit. He claimed to read AnOtherWiki and that "I went after the pedo [TheDarkEricDraven] for you". Jarandhel Dreamsinger responded, "No, you trolled a site on your own. You were neither asked to, nor do we endorse your actions. Good day, sir," and instituted a ban immediately.

On January 11, 2013 at 9:21pm EST Dan joined AnOtherWiki under the name Ricky and vandalized 52 pages of the wiki. He was banned from editing the wiki at 9:58pm EST, and his edits were reverted.

On January 14, 2013 at 2:02am EST Dan joined AnOtherWiki under the name MariaF and vandalized 18 pages of the wiki. He was banned from editing the wiki at 3:17am EST, and his edits were reverted. The same evening Dan appeared on #Otherkin on Furnet to announce his attack on the wiki and threatened that the Kitsuhana forums would be next, and that he would find and destroy the site of anyone else on the channel. He also claimed to be spamming individual email addresses, in particular Shiro Ulv's, and said that Jarandhel Dreamsinger's email would be next. However, instead of following through on this promise Dan created a hoax page slandering Dreamsinger instead.[2] A similar site followed, targeting Ulv.[3] Within less then 24 hours of the creation of these pages, they were removed.

On January 14, 2013 at 8:38pm EST Dan joined AnOtherWiki under the name DaelightVampire and attempted to vandalize one page, resulting in the automatic banning of his account. No content was actually vandalized. Shortly afterward, Dan sent an email to Dreamsinger, Ulv, Kodama and Sharden threatening each of their sites and naming Dreamsinger personally as the Delcor Group's "long-term target".[4]
