Doxxers using lodestone and fflogs to harass people

[MilkieTea]

I must have missed what your point was if not suggesting trolling on the internet inherently means I deserve a schizocow thread on kiwi farms.

"Schizoposting" is a term that means your posts are erratic and all over the place. It does not mean they are calling you schizophrenic, mentally ill, or anything. They are using a shorthand term to indicate your posts are erratic, all over the place, and don't really make much sense. It is not a term I endorse nor use.

That said, my original point was that Kiwifarms doesnt make threads on random people, especially not 138 page threads - so by extension, this means your behavior is what they deem to be lolcow worthy. If you do not want to further be on this website, the thread will probably die down if you stop giving them fuel.

I can't make it any more clear than I already have that I personally don't care about them bad mouthing me. I've been actively egging them on. I've already said this. I've also already acknowledged their insistence on stalking me is a fault of my own I'm not asking square to fix.

Again, I'm asking Square to provide more privacy options for the lodestone. I don't know why the nature of my thread on kiwi farms is of such great importance to you when it is very much a secondary matter. One which I continue to prove with my calm replies despite the apparent attempt by most posters present to suggest I deserve to have my FFXIV characters put on display by them.

What information are they receiving from your lodestone? Your... ingame achievements? You can hide this. Your mounts, minions, and classes? How is this private information that could lead to your identity?

Your posting is disingenuous. Either be honest with what's going on or expect people to be suspicious.

Edit: Also, FFLogs is public information that YOU chose to put out there, and is a website final fantasy 14 has no affiliation with. Go to their developers if you want your information removed from their website.

I'm not being disingenuous at all. I've been very specific about what I am asking for. You are the one who keeps trying to turn this thread into something about kiwi farms specifically. I am actively refraining from accusing you of being disingenuous despite having every reason to. Can we please be civil and address the matter at hand or not at all?

I'd prefer to keep my gaming time seperate from Kiwi Farms' harrassment cxampaign against me. I don't want to be targeted by them while I'm just playing the game. I don't think that's such an unreasonable request.

Agreed. It's just a game character. I'm not sure what private information is being or could be supposedly leaked via this. However, other players can upload your parses. If I recall correctly, you have to manually add a code to your lodestone character profile to hide this information. Either way, yes there are avenues to hide much of this information.

The only issue I am seeing here is that perhaps the OP wants to hide all traces of their character, to avoid potential ridicule on that website - for whatever reason. Though, granted, I have seen some legitimate concerns by users who say they have been stalked by other players of this game, and a lodestone is an easy way to find them, despite name changes or server transfer (not that I've ever personally had this issue).

Yes. As far as I can tell your character has a specific url that people can bookmark to then follow you whenever you name change or server transfer. if I'm right in assuming there is no way to change that, they can just folow you to the ends of the earth.

Whoops, forgot about that. I don't use FFlogs, find the process much too much work for me to do now, lol. Either way, the information can be removed/hidden.

Though, if people on Kiwifarms are actively stalking the user by using their lodestone profile to figure out where they are, that's different. I had to make a new character to shift away from an abusive friendship situation about 3 weeks after I joined the game (out of game shenanigans, but still). If people from Kiwifarms are actively stalking you, report them to Kiwifarms admins with proof, OP, and they'll get banned, as Kiwifarms has a very strict harassment policy.

But they can't doxx you with the information available on the lodestone.
