GM Feedback - GM Laghegath

There is some good news to be had, the most recent character hasn't been seen in about a week.
Joy of all joys, a brand new level 2 character popped up with the same name just homed on a different server.
You guessed it, doing the same thing. A new updated site as well, with more images of my character and friends.

They've moved on from Futa parts to attached plastic parts.

Twelve hours later, no response to my report... Let's just add ban evasion to the list of issues.

Can't believe this has been going on since March and is just now getting resolved. Glad things are working out!

One of the misstakes OP does is that he/she seems to respond to the "stalker". Be it with writing to him/her or by moving away because of him/her. One must not give the impression that the behaviour of the "stalker" affects you in any way. Otherwise they feel "succesfull" with their behavior and continue. Without that it loses a lot of its appeal to them I guess.

While normally you would be correct, ignoring is usually the /best/ course of action. This spread to members of my FC, to message books, etc. They were ERPing in FC member rooms with the FC members there, spouting (OOC) messages to relay to me for weeks. Sadly, SE did not act for months. What appears to have settled the issue is SE enforcing the ban hammer. Actually taking action on the player instead of ***maybe*** just a conversation. SE's response to this was shameful.

This was super disgusting to read. I'm sorry this wasn't resolved sooner. Not only were you affected, but so were your friends and FC mates who also had to deal with it. This was way more problem than it had to be and could have been easily taken care of by actually investigating and realizing that one person / or several were creating new characters every so often simply to delete / make more? Like, is that in itself not a suspicious act?

Please for all that is good for Eorzea, please get in touch. You deserve positive vibes, not this bulllala.

Update I've directly been left alone for a few months now, it seems the messaging has made it through not to contact me directly. Once a week or so I still get messages from friends who this player is leaving links to their porn, etc, in friends message books. Nothing like using someone's friends to stalk them I suppose.

At any rate, I was floored, my request to speak to a Sr. GM was answered -- after nearly a year. A tell came while I was in duty, and a tell came a minute later with the GM moving on. I sincerely hope that GM answers my response (GM Azilenmity) via support desk, yet I'm incredibly confused as to why it took so long to get a response for an ongoing issue which effects more than one player.

Wondering if the issue has resolved since the beginning of this year of if this horrid situation still continues with no clear action from SE.

They are back, and the gloves are coming off. This shouldn't be a thing for this long.
They've assumed a character: Ashemmi Yarkul @ Goblin
Then opened an F-List for all of the lovely imagery. I don't need to link it, we all know what /c/ is. Yes, /c/ you'll find it.
This is the same imagery, the same disgusting ploy I've seen for years.
This fake Ashemmi has been slinking around friends, making sure that I'm told.
Random, level 1 alts come loiter behind me, and while they don't speak -- it's certainly known.

SE needs to put some teeth behind a blacklist. It needs to protect our player run homes, venues, apartments. It needs to hold across the account, an alt shouldn't bypass it.

I've reported again, as have multiple friends. Nothing has happened, the player remains.

We all understand the cultural unease that is possible by being removed from the friends list.
The negatives far outweigh. You have someone here is stalking, disrupting the enjoyable play of others, and peddling smut.
Policy allows them to stay? The potential cultural unease prevents the removal of truly bad people from personal play?
I challenge the mods and GM to put this thread in Yoshi P's hands... This thread is a shame. This thread highlights not taking care of your players.

These stalkers need to find better things to do with their life

Is it time to hunt down their ip address and do the job manually?
