We can't even kick the person from novice network when it happens because they have the leave command at the end of their spam macro. And as much as we'd all love to ignore it like the mature adults we are, there are many people in novice network who are still getting exposed to it for the first time and react accordingly to the walls and walls of racial, homophobic, and transphobic slurs suddenly on their screen. Many of us who know it's been happening ignore it and try to tell others to, but it's hard when there are also people who have no clue why their chat just got filled with hate speech. Also, it probably spread to other servers in the DC because the guy realized he's been able to get away with it for so long without consequence!
    I mean the comments are aimed towards the OP, so my guess is the OP has ignored them and this person also knows that it does bother the OP as for the thread and the updates so it fuels them. Thankfully they only happen in short bursts. Though in the end given how they are doing this I am not even sure how SE will go about combating this without throwing genuine players under the bus.

    I'm not the only one this person has directly harassed.

    That's a recent thing, and only because OP was the one who made the thread.

    The notion that this thread is what's prompting them to spam racial hatred and general bigotry across the entire data center isn't consistent with the reality that it's been going on for months, long before the thread was ever made.

    As I understand it, their actual motivation is that they were hated on their original server's Novice Network for obvious reasons, and are seething that nobody wants anything to do with them.

    What I was saying I think it got worse since the thread in terms of frequency of how often they would do their shit posting. Especially after the update from the OP saying now they send them private messages.

    I was also speaking from experience when I was younger normally when people tell me to stop or pay me any attention it just prompted me to do it even more. Granted even at times when they ignore me it also drove me to be louder and bolder. Though in the game I did this GM's were quick to act but it had a f2p option so I would just create another account. I did this for years until I just grew out of it.

    Not excusing the person but if I was in their shoes the attention would give me a reason to do it more.

    Though not sure how things have been since I have been busy with school and work.

    If you were pulling shit like spamming the N word and calling trans people subhuman, then do me a favor and don't check in with them.

    Insults, and disparaging comments are hurtful and inappropriate no matter who they are aimed towards. People are able to mature and learn from their past, ones past does help shape a person but it does not necessarily define a person them and your mindset can just be as damaging and hurtful towards someone as using hateful speech. Does not mean people should be held accountable for their actions but human imperfect by nature. So, I kindly will not do you a favor and I will be sure to check in even though I have said many hurtful things in the past.

    Awha, were you calling people subhuman for being trans, or calling them the N word?

    I have made comments where I have said people were sub-human yes, though trans or sexuality was really was never in my scope so no I have not called a trans sub human. Though yes I have made jokes at the expense of rape, race, gender, suicide, used numerous slurs, and have belittled people for things far outside their own control. I was not a very nice person, tbh still not a very nice person, and thought it was cool to be edgy.
