Months of harassment

Novice Network being toxic? No! It can't be!

It's not the normal toxicity. This is above and beyond, at least each message telling mentors the c-word, telling them to suck his d***, using references to pedophilia, racial slurs, homophobic and transphobic language, etc. Now have it been happening for a week. Welcome to Aether!

Honestly, at least on Jenova, we sometimes have a few elitist or braggy Mentors here or there but for the most part it's incredibly lax and chill. Maybe that's not the case everywhere, but that's what I've observed so far.

Being unhelpful isn't quite on the same level as being a racist spammer or targeted harassment IMO.

Apparently, the troll has 18 accounts and 40 characters.

Just adding my quick two cents as well. This has been on-going across Aether for much longer than I feel it should be at this point given the frequency and severity of it. I've sent in multiple reports and while that's like the... proper procedure, it's so time consuming to do over and over and over and over and over while we try to get rid of this guy or force him to make a new acct. It has a lot of the mentors getting frustrated/tired, probably freaks out a bunch of our poor Sprouts and it's just a bad look all around. It's just getting worse and worse and more vile and disgusting as it goes on with him flipping from slurs to saying things near pedophilic. Reporting people on PS4 is a pain in the arse and while I will absolutely KEEP going to lengths to get rid of this guy I'm just sick of it. This shouldn't be happening.

Either a Mentor friend is helping him do this, or he's hopping until an invite-spammy Mentor gets him. If it's the SAME Mentor, then they need to be neutered or banned alongside him. Every time I file a report they already HAVE so many reports that I don't get an actual GM response and that's completely sad. This person is bothering so many people so wide-spread, and it's still happening. They're posting things like "GMS can't do shit", "can't kick me", and just generally being taunting about getting away with this, stealing people's names or making the name close enough to an existing user to confuse people or potentially get them blamed. Enough is enough already. This goes beyond harassment and disrespect, this is complete and utter malice, with no job or hobby to boot and it's disruptive. It completely wrecks my chatlogs to the point where I had to move Novice to a separate chat channel so I could still keep up with chat while not completely losing my ability to help moderate my FC or help them as well.

I may play it off as a joke in the NN, but it is just annoying to me as I'm sure it is to every single Mentor and Sprout across Aether. This guy needs to be stopped, IP banned, whatever it takes.

His original character (if it who I think it is base don who he targets by name on Turtle) was a Craft Mentor, and disappeared for 3 months after the last flurry of reports (I suspect a temp ban). If you search the character ID (vs the name), it's active again with a character name change too.

I strongly suspect he's now keeping that main "Clean" and using it to invite all the toss away trial accounts you uses to spam and harass.

That's complete and utter garbage. I hope they get him, I'm so sick of seeing this day in and day out >.<

One of his targets came to Jenova to apologize earlier and explain and I just feel so terrible for them.

How bout using the blacklist. That should resolve the problem sufficiently.

I would also like to add my voice- it's 6:07pm pst and they continue to post inappropriate stuff in the novice network. I agree- it's not a great look to the new players, hoping this is reviewed and rectified as soon as possible. Thank you for all you do!

Whether the mentor in question is keeping quiet or talking as if he's not responsible for it, I wish them the worst and I hope they get IP banned as well as their friend, losing any and all account progress they've made so far permanently. They've gone completely beyond unnecessary, whether theyre doing it for fun or they have some kind of ridiculous opinion about mentors or the novice network as a whole, or its more targeted; they just need to go. People like that are not welcome here and shouldn't be anywhere.
