data raping, definition of

So, I've been lurking around the forums a lot lately and I keep seeing the term "data raping" come up in a lot of negative conversation. I was just curious as to what the heck it means? I have nothing on google or wiki. Since I can't find it, I guess its not a widely used term? Is it used just on these forums?

Edit: All I want is a definition, no examples or anything. From what I understand its bad news and I wanna stay as far away from it as I can. Just want to know what the heck it is.

    I thought data raping was identity theft? Like, forcefully taking someone's online personal data?

    My guess is behaving like Datarape, a notoriously awful poster with a million alts. "Banned for being Datarape" is a theme in the Banned thread.

    Some people think Datarapes are a single person. This isn't true anymore. Datarape has never even had an identity in the first place, if you recall a long time ago it used other people's avatars and sigs for itself. The Datarape was responsible for a LOT of major trolls you see banned on the forums, such as MadMorlock, Entropykid, Rambozo, Terrorbyte, TheSAVED, etc.. but there have been so many alts now that copycats are jumping in and becoming Datarape themselves. A Datarape is played by several different posters, it is more than just a man. Sometimes they even share accounts through PMs. Example, this is a Datarape account, and it's password is rapist.

    Wait then whats the difference of a troll? I thought that was the characteristics of forum troll, unless its a new word used now for web 2.0.
