Not much you can do expect the obvious thing..ignore the guy. It's not a difficult thing to do. And what do you mean by exploting personal info to humiliate people?, he makes fun of a picture on facebook?
Comment has been collapsed.
Tried, blocked/ignored, help for a while, but he keeps coming back.
As in, he will try his best to find personal information and do his best to use to his advantage such as: editing photos he finds, publically announcing personal stuff for no damn reason, keeping their pictures as his avatars blah blah

You just made a slur about being gay is bad, you can be reported for that as well.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not talking about that, you made an insult about being gay. You cannot insult/harass someone here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Saying fucking homo to someone is an insult, how are you not capable of understanding this, read the rules.
Comment has been collapsed.
I think the point people are making is don't use "fucking homo" as an insult, and that you could use another phrase/word that is not degrading towards a demographic of human beings, instead.

It's the same thing with that if you believe that a giveaway is fake, you just report, you don't say It's fake because you're gonna end up being reported yourself.

Avoid internet for several months. That would make him look for another target. If you aren't in the net you can't be cyberbulled
Comment has been collapsed.
Avoid the internet, go play outside, study, make some new friends, practice your sports, workout, by the time your done the bully is going to find another target

I don't know what I would do, but I'd try something and see if it helps, like: change your privacy settings (in every social network and the likes) to hide as much as you can; use VPNs yourself so he can not track your activity while you're online; ask your friends to not tag photos of you and don't do it yourself; totally ignore any attempt to contact you and their messages; don't accept 'friend requests' from contacts you're not sure about, and if it looks like it's coming from a legitimate friend, double check with them by other means that it's actually them trying to get in touch; avoid posting much at all...
The way I see it, people who do these kind of things are or have been victim themselves of the same kind of harassment, often within their own family, so they are to be pitied in the first place :( No need to let them ruin your life

Well, when ignored, he goes on a rampage of threats and stuff and keeps coming back, in fact even manipulates people into using them, and if doesn't go his way, he threats even further.
Basically, I have tried everything, and this guy kinda does this for a "living", all I really need is advice into contacting any cyberbullying investigation somehow. I've already tried the FBI online (despite that the guy is in Greece).
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry to hear that. I'm under the impression you know the guy personally? Why this obsession for you?
Have you tried any association for the victims of cyber bullying (even though, as many others pointed out already, this qualifies as something more than just that)? Even if they can't help you directly, they can probably give you the best advices
Also, as you received death and rape threats, why can't the police actually look into it and possibly refer you to the relevant authority? Sure you're not the first being in this situation and there must be some official procedure to follow...
Best of luck finding a solution
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope. Infact, just a random parasite hanging around the internet.
I've associated with past victims (of 2 years), took their advice, and it's not helping in the long run. (The block/ignore/repeat method)
I contacted both the Greek Police with a detail-heavy description along with screencaps, hopefully that does something, because a douche like this guy who has been freely doing this for 4 years needs to at some point, be stopped.
And thank you very much.

Also people saying "if he's bullying you then don't use the Internet" are ridiculous. So if I'm getting prank calls I'm supposed to shut my phone off and not use it? What if someone harasses me where I live, I'm supposed to move out? I'm not being harassed, just laughing at your logic.
This empowers such dicks and makes them think they have huge power over their victims. I think the best way is to either ignore them or stand up to them and be firm.

+1, avoiding the internet because of some jerk is actually making him win.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you put private info about yourself and do something that might harm your real life, then someone can always have access to it and exploit it, simple as that. Unlike having bullies in real life where you're forced somehow to live with them, the internet provide means to stay protected and always offer the possibility of logging off. Don't post sensible data if you don't want it to be exploited.
Or let's hear how are you gonna "stand up" to him.
Comment has been collapsed.
It depends where it happens. If on Facebook you can always report such person. Cyber bullying is talked about lately and it's getting serious and in turn police is treating such cases seriously. So you can always report them to the police as well. You can always try threatening them with police and court. You can talk with him and be firm that if this person doesn't stop then he'll get in serious trouble. There are various ways.
Comment has been collapsed.
What exactly does he do? And how does he exploit those private informations?
Comment has been collapsed.
Basically harasses, bullies, threatens, manipulates, humiliates etc etc, I can show you some screencaps.
And about the private info, I'm not sure, he manages to find "a selfie or two" and acts like the king of the world once he that's done, further "shows it to everyone" for some damn reason. Ugh, I dont even know.
Comment has been collapsed.
The major problem is when I contact the staff of the websites, they bluntly tell me to ignore/block this guy, as they cannot do anything about it, as he is located in Greece. Yeah, pretty poor staff management. I'll try contacting Twitter this time.
*He's kept his proxy server a "big secret", so Im not exactly sure how I can do that.
*Done and done. Hopefully it works out.
-Much appreciated.

Only way to stop him is to kill him. Do it. You will be a champion among peasants.
Comment has been collapsed.
Gather as much evidence as possible.
Report to police.
Comment has been collapsed.
You need to totally disengage.
Stop reading his posts, stop refuting what he says, stop replying to him, stop mentioning him, stop answering anyone who brings up anything that he says. Don't tell him you're ignoring him, don't tell other people to ignore him, don't refer to him, don't refer to anything said by him, and don't refer to anything that anyone else says about him. Let him lie his ass off. Let him tell the truth. Let him do whatever he hell he wants and don't give him the slightest acknowledgement he exists.
And I don't mean for a day. Or a week. Permanently. Commit to it. Any time you catch yourself typing his name or anything about him, close it out completely. He only has as much as you give him to work with, and if you give him literally nothing, he'll eventually decide it's a waste of his time. It will certainly take more than a month. It may take a year. But unless he comes to you in real life, he won't be able to do anything to you for as long as you're disengaged.
And if he does take it to real life, you now have physical evidence to give to the police. But given that he's in another country, that seems unlikely.
EDIT: I should emphasize that this also means not reporting him to any site admins. If the stuff he's posting is as bad as you say, other users will report it for you. And if it's not that bad, there's no need to worry about it. The more effort you put into stopping this guy, the more he's succeeded. If you go to zero effort, then he's wasting all of his.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have tried your first advice, many times, but it doesn't seem effective enough, with that one time he "Publically made 100 articles on a wiki saying stuff like "I know your IP I will exploit your info, talk to me or assume the worse", which, as a normally functioning guy, is really REALLY hard to ignore. Then again, I can't expect everything, so yeah, maybe I will have to keep trying. Thing is, why I really want to put an end to him by reporting the police is, he never stops, he has a good 8 victims at one time, does the same crap to all of them, and has been doing it for 4 years.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can ignore those 100 articles. Hell, the fact that you knew he made them is already a problem. You certainly shouldn't be following any links that he posts. Or reading anything that he says once you know that it's him. Let him do his worst. It literally cannot be worse than what he's already doing unless he escalates it to real life and gets himself arrested for real.
Comment has been collapsed.
What's the worst that can happen? He has your nude photos? He knows where your live?
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly.
Even if he actually does something to harass OP in RL there are very few ways to do real damage, and if he gave him THAT much power, the joke's on him.
I receive threats on a monthly base either on Facebook or everywhere else and most of the time i just laugh and screencap them so i can show people how dumb can get some users. The only time some idiot has actually done something, he added random people from my friend list just to tell them that i was gay: no one gave a flying fuck.
But again, EVEN if he has some sensitive data of which the OP is ashamed of, the truth is that nobody really cares anyway, worst case scenario someone will laugh at him and move on with their life, promptly forgetting about him the next minute.
Comment has been collapsed.
How did you even get into this situation? From how you met him, what you did to piss him off, and what he's threatening you with exactly. It's very strange to be harassed as much as you're saying from a random user that targets people out of boredom. And what is the situation with the other users he's harassing?
Comment has been collapsed.
You should deal with him the same way you should deal with a real bully. Just don't give a shit. Bullies thrive off of attention and this thread proves that your attention is very firmly fixated on him. Stop giving him the attention he wants and he won't have anything to gain. As for stopping him from bullying others: there isn't much to be done. Maybe pass the same advice on to them.
Comment has been collapsed.
If he hides behind proxies, then how can you be so sure he lives in Greece?
Comment has been collapsed.
If i understand correctly(based on the country you have on your steam profile) you yourself do not live in grece so what exactly can he do to you? I understand he can make threats but it's not like he's gonna get on a plane and come and do something to you. Also what can he do to you online? This is the part i don't get, do you actually know he has something on you (pictures/video/whatever) or are you just afraid he might have?
Like others have said, simply ignore him and he will go away. Even with a thread like this you would only feed his idiotic behavior not scare him away. I don't know how police works in your country but in my crappy country if you went to them because you're getting cyberbullied they'd laugh at you and send you home. Unless there's blackmail involved, aka him trying to force someone else to do something for him, i doubt police anywhere would care.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, I don't even think I have a picture of myself on the web. But, that only applies for me, I made this thread on behalf of many other victims.
Well, cyber bullying has been such a big deal in the past, and to his extent, I really think the police should care. I've tried ignoring him many times, but the same damn cycle eventually shows up. I understand why they wouldnt due to a dumbass society, which is why I'm looking for international cyberbullying exclusive reporters, but haven't had much luck in that.
You can check this out as a "report" I gave to the FBI
Comment has been collapsed.
Just look at all the cowards that think they're experts on the topic... "Just ignore him, just block him." There is a fine line between a troll and someone who goes out of their way to contact you again with death threats, this isn't a "ignore him" type of situation.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's very true, it is definetly a struggle ignoring him if some dumbass makes 100 pages on a wiki with the titles "I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE, TALK TO ME OR ASSUME THE WORST or I HAVE YOUR IP: {Link IP here} AND WILL EXPLOIT INFORMATION YOU HAVE BEEN HIDING".
At a rate like that, people can't help but just go "Oh what the hell does this guy god damn want!?"
Comment has been collapsed.
Wait, you know him in real life?
Just get his address and name and phone number and give them to his victims. Then walk away and call the cops.

'ello.
To cut it short I know a guy who:
Harrasses people, been harrasing them for 4 years, and goes on for months straight
Uses several proxies to evade bans
Exploits personal information and uses it to humiliate people
Invades private info, has "fun" with it
Vandal, social bully, death threats, rape threats and the latter.
So, basically I know a gigantic d*ck.
This person has been a problem to many people around websites so I'm askin' for:
Any way to successfully report a cyberbully by the means of law as this guy is located OUTSIDE the United States and have the situation dealt with
