Months of harassment

[Drkdays]

Sounds like someone who can only be tough on the internet because he can't be tough in his real life. Show some compassion for the weak. Either forgive their weakness of blacklist them. He cannot be mature, so the test of us must.

I'm sure that's how SE will see it. We don't need justice, we need tolerance. Turn the other cheek and we (and eventually he) will move on.

Nah, the person in question needs to be put in their place. lol

Meh maybe I am just a cold person but I do wish this was localized on one server instead of our entire DC. It is what it is, hopefully SE does something about it.

How many times does it need repeating in this thread that blacklisting and reporting does NOT work because the person comes back with different free trial sprout accounts? Blacklisting does nothing to combat that. Reports only affect the one account in question. 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.

It works to blacklist them on a personal level, even if it must be several times a day. I'm not saying this is the best solution. If fact, making a forum about it is the right thing to do.

I'm saying don't let them win by letting them torment you about this.

If you've done all you can, let SE know and posted a forum psa, then you should focus on educating the NN on how to respond in a way that won't get THEM banned.

Tolerance and pity are faster methods of fighting this than going to war with someone looking for a fight.

SE should, and hopefully will handle this eventually. Until then warn and guide your community.

He's going onto Crystal as well? I thought he was only doing this on Aether.

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

Nah this is my forum alt, my main is on Aether.

That is fair, only ones I have seen are copy's of the messages sent in the screen shot of yours.
