AYRT, I'm very sure. I have IPs of the people who've been doing it and kept tabs for a while on what information was going around about me compared to what I had posted publicly and what I had told my friends privately. Unless this is a big time meta thing, since a lot of my friends were targeted too, I'm very sure they're not involved.

...so reporting the IP owners to their ISPs is not helping?

Even as recently as a few years ago, stuff like this was pretty much greeted with blank stares and shrugging, but due to high-profile cases in the last handful of years where kids ended up killing themselves due to cyberbullying, the cops will be VERY quick to at least listen to you, instead of dismissing it out of hand.

Go to your local police station. Let them handle all the inter-jurisdictional hassles. Law enforcement is taking these incidents way, way, more seriously, than they used to.

I was hassled endlessly, and bullied behind-the-scenes via PM, then when I called the hypocrites out on what they were doing (because they were presenting themselves to the world as oh-so-holy Christians, you see), they doxxed me, or tried, all because I happened to be using an open proxy, when I chanced across the minister's blog, which I thought had been deleted, but noooo, they were just blocking MY IP address only...so they could plot and plan out a great stonking campaign for me "to be healed by [their] Jesus."

When I balked at this discovery, and revealed publicly that I knew what they were really doing, they doxxed me (or tried -- the main instigator of it failed, thankfully), and even indirectly threatened to come to my workplace (whereupon I totally freaked out and management, bless them, was OK with removing my name and number from everywhere it was listed, post-haste). Then they started saying THEY were going to report ME to the police, because I had found out what they were doing via an open proxy website. They also claimed they had reported ME to my own ISP. Which was an utter lie, when I contacted my ISP to try and defend myself, the support team said they had never been contacted. So it was all just intimidation and lies. Then these loving, converted Christians, followed it up with threats to contact the cops about me, due to my using an open proxy website (which is not illegal), and stumbling innocently across their plans for me.

Given that this was several years ago (before Facebook and all the social media idiocy had really gotten off the ground, and before kids started dying from it), and due to the fact that everyone involved was over the age of majority (though you wouldn't know it, from the way the believers acted), I was basically told by my ISP to suck it up. Though my ISP support team reassured me that they couldn't report me to the cops, anyway. Though if it was happening to me right now, they would probably have me swatted or something.

TL;DR: Go to your local police station, nonny. They should at least be a little more sympathetic, now that there's a better understanding of what cyberbullying is, and what disastrous effects it can have, and better polices in place to deal with it.

*policies

The worst instigator and the one I have the most evidence on is outside my country, so I'm not sure it will help. Reporting to the host site didn't help either. Thank you for the advice. I think I might try reporting to their ISP provider as I hadn't thought of that.

NAYRT - Kind of pisses me off that the host site didn't do anything, tbh. Did you try another host site?

You know, if it was one of your friends, it wouldn't be beyond the pale for them to say they were targeted as well, or even to do something to themselves.

Obviously that doesn't constitute evidence either way

That's fair. I'm hoping it's not the case obviously but I guess there's not much way to be sure right now.
