This guy is like "the curse of AUS99". Impossible to permanently get rid of unless something is done in the physical world, I reckon.

By this, I mean tracking down his real identity and then getting the legal system to issue an AVO or some such. I think an AVO is appropriate. His trolling can be construed as mental harrassment, causing us mental harm.

As for his real identity... Remember that Instagram of a guy that one of his personas posted to be him? That Insta dude is not him, but whoever he is must've known this Insta dude, possibly followed him in the past or is still following him.

Heck, I think you can correlate his identity by checking the timestamp of profile viewers on Insta against the timestamp of that post.
Sorry mate, can't help but to comment a little on your statement. The police might have a laugh if you file an AVO for a forum troll. Admit it, we all do troll each other once in a while, which in case makes us all guilty and we should all be sitting in house arrest with no electronic devices allowed. AVO might work if the person knows your personal details eg where you live, your phone number, social media etc and have been using all these avenues to stalk or harass you online.

Also that Instagram viewers timestamp thing, how do you even see that? All I see is likes and comments, and these days people normally watch IG stories instead of scrolling through posts. I understand if the person is not a celebrity yet he has awesome posts on IG then some other scammers and trolls might impersonate him. These days there's many fake IG accounts of OF girls, won't be surprised if they end up on this forum trying to promote their fake sites.
