Wrongfully banned. Need help

[KageTokage]

SE takes cyber stalking as very serious offense and always immediately have their GM taking action

Considering all the stories I've hear about stalkers not being punished, I'm more inclined to believe they won't actually do anything unless a specific line is crossed.

Seconded. Had a friend quit XI because she wouldn't date a guy, and as a result, he and his friends kept making alts to harass her and troll her social media. Their response? "Just use the blacklist feature, lol~"

I have also seen this but on if curiosity what can the GM really do regarding stalker like behavior.

End of the day the black list feature is your best line of defense. Sure it will not stop the initial response, and emote usage etc . . .

System is not perfect but blacklist is a powerful tool.

ban their accounts, they cant stalk someone if they cant login

Depending on how bad it is, those people will just make new accounts.

See forum trolls here for proof of that.

I have played many games and generally only extreme cases of harassment result in a permanent / IP / hardware bans.

Also with level boosts creating another account is quick and on the cheap side.

I really cannot think of many games I have played where people have been banned for stalker like behavior. Also if someone is willing to go that far with stalking that it results in a ban then sadly it probably will not stop them for long.

Using this logic, the profanity filter is the same, yet man do the GMS ever pounce on you using a naughty word.

Thing is with profanity is a clear violation of the ToS black and white.

Stalking and harassment are not so clean cut. SE does take action over extreme but often because they crossed some significant line cases but often it is not that clear cut from a neutral perspective.

Idk banning a stalker would seem to empower someone starved for attention. I think this is generally why I think SE promotes the black list feature as a solution. like as someone mentioned it is easy to just create a new account look at our forum trolls.

In the end GM's investigations must not support the removal of the player. We hardly ever hear the full story when it comes to harassment and stalker cases.
