Permanent barring from property.

Me and my friends have been the victims of a troll who finds ways around blacklisting like housing guestbooks to send us hate messages in our properties. Locking the houses or removing the guestbooks should not be the suggested solution every time, as we shouldn't have to keep those houses closed to everyone else or keep them from writing in our guestbooks because of this one individual. Somehow, barring from property is only 10 days? I see no reason why that makes sense. It should be like blacklisting: permanent. "The 10-day limitation for a barred player is a design choice aimed at balancing moderation with potential mistakes." We are fully capable of being the judges of that, especially with how the moderator team has failed to protect us by taking action, let us, AT LEAST, feel safe and peaceful in our own home, in this game we pay so much subscription money for.

The moderation team failed to protect you? No, you're kinda doing that by giving them some degree of power over that you you granted them.

Don't react at all and let it roll off your shoulder, eventually they will give up because theirs no reaction to feed on. You're giving him power and you need to take it back.

I wish that were true in all cases, but there’s times when ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away.

I would definitely support blacklisting/barring from estate as default until you as the property owner change it, with no arbitrary time limit. The harassers know about the time limit and will be waiting there with bells on the second their banishment lifts. It’s like a sick game for some people. The “balancing moderation with potential mistakes” should default to the one being harassed being able to protect themselves as long as they deem necessary, not some sort of “time out” that does nothing to deter the behavior.

I guess. Maybe its me but I don't get how the players get so into the drama it bleeds into real space. And becomes a emotional crisis.

LIke where is the emotional regulation and resilience? I think the players need to take back some personal accountability on emotional regulation and learning to become a disinteresting gray rock.

That's not always possible depending on what they're dealing with in real life.

Instead of victim blaming I'd rather see offending players forced to take personal accountability, and either stop behaving in an antagonistic fashion or get their game privileges revoked if they won't.

You probably haven’t had a stalker sitting in your house, just creeping you out.
I actually have, and the reason it happened still feels incredibly stupid to me.
He decided to sit in my house after a failed “negotiation” (which was very aggressive on his side) over the pricing of an Algoat Horn listing on the market board.
At the time, there was also no way to remove someone once they had entered your house, which made the situation even worse.

No, I'm too intense and heavy for most. Its intimidating or difficult to find a foothold for most.

What's his presence going to do to me? I can sit there and watch him or I can do literally anything else. What power does he have if I can take it from him? lol

If grandfathered... then I agree you should give up them wards.... if using the multiple FC scam... that should be dealt with as well.

End of Story really and if that is the background of all this... then I would say I would not disagree with them, however if you just got a nice house and an FC for 1 account, then I agree with that those people should be dealt with.

That is all what I can say about that.
