Ongoing harassment/Doxxing threats

[JackHatchet]

Ok, I've read more now!

What the heck is going on with in game moderation at the moment?

I had an issue about a month before Stormblood, where my MSQ bugged out. The NPC took my item, but refused to forward the quest, so now it was broken. Anyways, the GMs would constantly direct me to the 'general forums' for solutions. No matter how ridiculous it sounds. And they keep giving that advice, and it doesn't make sense. You can have a legitimate problem--and their solution is? "Go ask random strangers for advice."

It's easy to forget how terrible the customer service is when you don't need it. But the moment you desperately need it--it takes them 3 freaking weeks to get back to you. And even then--it's probably the same copy-pasted message, and it's a nightmare. And honestly, I would call Square-Enix directly, but there's even horror stories out there of people getting nailed with outrageous international phone bills. And I sure as heck don't want to get saddled with a fee just to get the help (I should be entitled to) with my paid subscription.

1) OP has a long and known history of holding grudges

Man, I've been a part of the Mateus global community for the better part of 2 years, and I don't ever recall the OP having baggage. He's always been an upstanding guy in every circumstances I've seen him. IN TWO YEARS worth of time. So I'm not quite sure where you're getting your info.

Oh one thing to point out I forgot to add. Doxxing is illegal in literally every State if you're in the United States. File a police report and then contact an Attorney. Then watch their future hopes and dreams die in court.

There was an episode of Judge Mathis over Second Life. People like to act like just because you're online that nonsense wont come to light up and personal.

It does seem weird, usually these kinds of things show up for 2 reasons.
1. People have believed stories from the harassers or their friends painting OP in a bad light or,
2. Since you can't beware of what people say 24/7, maybe OP was nice to you and/or people around you, but treats others differently.

It could honestly be either of those two situations, but to be fair, if people kept continuously harassing me using multiple people and accounts, I would hold a lot of grudges with a lot of people too, and would probably act pretty sour most of the time, as harassers can really get you in a bad mood. In fact, that list of things that the OP has apparently done, is actually pretty reasonable if painted in the light of being abused by a lot of people.

For example:

1) OP has a long and known history of holding grudges and verbally attacking others both outright and passive-aggressively. He has targeted members and friends of those members of the Mateus community, some of which were formerly his friends, not just for perceived sleights but also for defending the people from or even just choosing to associate with people he has had conflicts with.

Perhaps they became ex-friends because they took the harassers side. Or perhaps he dislikes particular people who are friends with the harasser. I always hated the friends of the school bullies myself, for them associating with the bullies. Completely understandable.

2) OP has a history of bragging about getting away with targeted psts as well as bragging about getting people banned, kicking from NN, etc.

If it's the harassers who he has managed to get banned, or kicked from NN, it would feel pretty good, I can kinda understand this too.

3) OP has publicly posted information that could identify his rl information on other public forums. Any one of the people OP has been abusive to in this game or others could have trivially obtained this information. It is wildly inappropriate to assume that a particular person did this and accuse them in a public forum when many others had both the means and the motive.
.

Or it could be that sometimes, as I have seen before, one person picks on someone, and then a whole lot of other people join in. They could easily do this if OP has posted public information. Yeah, OP shouldn't post public information, but people also shouldn't use it to harass someone.

4) OP has himself worked around blacklists by creating alt characters.

I can understand someone doing this if they want to see who else the harassers are talking to, or if people have blacklisted him due to the harassers accounts, and he wants to clear things up?

I don't know the situation, it's true, but I just posted this as hypothetical situations as to why OP has done this, as people can be quick to jump to negative conclusions about people on the forums.

The way I see it SE can dig UP any in game log they want, and if they've decided not to take action against this then I can only assume that we're missing some crucial information here.

What? ...I mean...how? I know mogstation is a thing but even then....how? And.....why? Buying the magic carpet on top of my sub made me hyperventilate a little. I...I just...I just don't understand, why...or how.

It does seem like a lot. I can't figure a way to spend that much without several service accounts or a severe fantasia/namechange addiction.

Sub+max retainers+mog station glams for said retainers+spontaneous jumped alts+mog station glams for said alts. Also furniture. Because $5 USD for a snowcone.

[Awha]

That feeling when you get a temporary suspension for telling someone to drink a bleach cocktail in a joking manner, granted sure the person did not find it funny.

Yet something like this goes unpunished, either we are missing something important, or this mans simply got the most lackadaisical GM in history.

OP also mentioned how he bought a game for his ex-friend, so if OP is someone who likes to buy things for his friends, the mogstation expenses could very well be from sending gifts to his friends

This bit, this pisses me off. It doesn't matter how much money you spent, it doesn't make you special. You're a number in a queue, like the rest of us.

Are you implying that because you have spent absurd ammounts of money, that you are entitled to better service? I'm sorry that you see yourself as more than a number in a ticket queue.

[And other comments regarding this matter...]

He never even remotely said he wants priority service. He just said he is a valuable customer but can not stay here if they, the abusers, make his life here miserable and can keep harrassing him. The "manner he has been treatened" goes for both a deaf customer support (hence the several ticket numbers he mentioned) and the people that can do it that easily without punishment - it's over 2 months!

The amount of money he has spent is in the same paragraph, so I think it is in the same train of taught that he simply want the situation to be handled accordingly and nothing more. Judging from the amount, he is not a kid anymore and surely has a certain level of expectation when it comes to customer treatment. He is not here on a free ride ticket; the game is expensive (and worth it though), and we all can expect swift handling of such severe cases as this is not "a small indie company on a Free2Play basis".

So go easy on this guy and don't get riled up on something that is not written there.

Sincerely,

First - I want to be very clear: harassment is not okay in any form and if what OP described occurred then it was not funny and whoever did it was completely out of line.

But there is another perspective to this and OP is leaving some details out.

1) OP has a long and known history of holding grudges and verbally attacking others both outright and passive-aggressively. He has targeted members and friends of those members of the Mateus community, some of which were formerly his friends, not just for perceived sleights but also for defending the people from or even just choosing to associate with people he has had conflicts with.
2) OP has a history of bragging about getting away with targeted psts as well as bragging about getting people banned, kicking from NN, etc.
3) OP has publicly posted information that could identify his rl information on other public forums. Any one of the people OP has been abusive to in this game or others could have trivially obtained this information. It is wildly inappropriate to assume that a particular person did this and accuse them in a public forum when many others had both the means and the motive.
4) OP has himself worked around blacklists by creating alt characters.
Numerous people can back up these claims and have posted screenshots of this individual engaging in this behavior in Discord channels as a warning to others. He is becoming known on other servers in the Crystal DC because of this behavior. And there are many tickets submitted to SE illustrating this behavior by myself and others. Screenshots can be doctored but numerous people have similar stories and would be willing to share after seeing this post.

This is not the forum to publicly post screenshots or continue a feud but people who have been a victim of OP's harassment deserve a voice. I am not defending the actions of whoever ordered pizza for the OP and scared his wife at all. But harassment, no matter who does it, should not be tolerated and the OP should be held to the same standards as he expects others to be held to.

Oh boy here is the other side of the story. xD
He did break all the rules everybody should follow when entering the internet.
First and foremost, do not escalate the conflicts online, do not get involved into online fights.
