Someone is out of line... 02-17-2013, 07:45 PM

Not sure where this will be the most appropriate, but since this is an open discussion I think it could fit.
Anyway, here is the backstory, a few months ago a kid started talking to me on steam, he is one of those 12 y/o kids that think they are "trolls" by causing harm to other people (mostly online games and the sorts), and he also thinks that annoying people on the chat is super fun and makes him a troll.
Now, I didn't really have a problem with this because while it's just talking it is no harm in itself and I can just ignore him and he will eventually stop doing that.
But yesterday he went a bit over the top, he went to a gmod server that I liked to play in and besides breaking all the rules and being really bad to players (which again, wouldn't be that bad because the admins could just ban him) he then started using programs a friend of him gave him, or something like that, to crash the servers.
He isn't and will never be a hacker of any sorts, but he is playing with what he shouldn't in my opinion, he even sent his other friend to the same server to crash it again after he was banned.
What I would like to do was try and put him straight and teach him not to play with fire, being a noob myself I can't do anything to him, at least not yet, which is why I am making this thread... what shall I do?
Should I ask someone to hack him as a kind of a warning? I don't know, changing his background to some sort of warning like "Don't play with fire if you don't want to get burned" or something like that...
I have his steam account added on mine as well as his hamachi network.
If you guys think that's not the best approach, what do you think would be?
Thanks
