All right I got this message from user "Account Of Piece" (I'll post the message) I reported the message to Gaia. My question is, is there any thing else I can do to get this user tracked and banded?

There really is nothing else you can do. I get these messages all the time.

Pretty soon you should get a message saying the situation has been handled- Gaia tends to deal with hackers more than spammers.

I don't really know : / Spammers and Hackers are equally annoying but Gaia seems to be more concerned about Hackers.

Spammers are intensely irritating, but usually opperate in a manner which Gaia seems to find perfectly appropriate. Hackers are subversive, malicious individuals who seek to cause cyber chaos, simply because they can. Hackers can be very damaging, spammers are just annoying.

To give an analogy,say you HATE snakes, now say you were in a room with two small snakes, one of which is extremely venomous, the other, perfectly non lethal, just revolting to you because you hate snakes. NOW, say you have a gun with just one bullet.....which one do you shoot? Obviously, the dangerous one, its the same way the Gaia mods handle hackers over spammers, most likely, due to staffing issues.
