Housing change needs to happen.

Players need to be able to kick/ban people from their houses.

You can lock your house from people who aren't your tenants.

That doesn't do anything about people already inside, yea sure it'll kick em out whenever they log back in but the amount of time between patches is lengthy and that's the only forced log out.

You're right actually. I didn't even think someone would stay in another person's home for an entire patch. That's pretty dedicated harassment. 0_0

Maybe GMs would be able to help.

I mean, at any point in that time you could simply report the player for harassment. If you get harassed so much that locking your house isn't enough then I wonder what you did to attract that much negative attention in the first place.

Pretty much this - If you dont have them as a tenant and change the lockout and ask them to leave and they persist, yeah, that would probably fall under harassment. Realistically the GM is gonna just pull the person to GM jail and thatll be that. As someone else mentioned though, thats a lot of dedication to leave your game running, not run any content, not turn off your computer, not lose internet by accident...that is pretty extreme.

In most harrasment cases you don't need to do anything special to get negative attention. There are plenty of people who are just... I'm not sure how to phrase it correctly, but let's just say that most abusers and harassers either don't befriend logic at all or it's very twisted. They will find any small reason to bully you and the most dedicated can go as far as starting stalking you in real life if it's possible for them to do.

SE dosn't have a way to filter who can enter your house outside of the tenant list when your guest access is disabled.

If you really want to keep others out, turn off guest access. If you're hosting a gathering for a large number of friends, keep access turned off until they are outside your house then turn it on just long enough for them to get in.

Simply being in your house wouldn't be considered harassment. If they are doing things while they're in your house to specfically disrupt your game play, it *might* be considered harassment. The most you can do is open a ticket if someone is disrupting your game play and let the GMs decide.

But they're usually just looking for the attention. Ignore them and they get bored, looking for a new "victim" to upset.

I wonder if it would work if the house owner just made the friends tenants one by one in order to let them in. Then there would be no risk of letting the harasser in as well.

Can we not victim blame/assume the worst about people?

Nobody warrants harassment.

How long are these people willing to stay inside the house without doing any duties or logging out?
Meeting any insane stalkers who dedicate their life to stalk you cannot be that common and those people you can just report anyway so the staff will take them into the prison which will also propably count as a duty so they are forced out of the house.
