Edit: 11/02/2023

Ashemmi Yarkul @ Goblin has been deleted, and the associated lodestone ID no longer exists.
It seems the message may have finally been heard.

A call to action - you can help:

Stalking and harassment has been ongoing and documented for over a year and a half now, that's just from the opening of this thread. There are years worth of reports on a single player, made by the OP and a number of other affected parties. Somehow this player is allowed to stay, somehow this player seems immune from any reasonable action which should have seen an appropriate resolution.

The player continues to skirt blacklists and remains a problem within the game. The most recent endeavor involves naming an Alt with the exact same name as the OP, then hanging around friends, and passing messages and imagery through them. What this player does, would be illegal in the real world, and SE continues to take no effective action.

You're encouraged to read the thread. A running document that contains many of the run-ins with this player. If you agree that after a year and a half SE should have taken some action, you're encouraged to report in game to let the communities feelings on this activity be known.


/c/ in the profile of Ashemmi Yarkul @ Goblin is actionable. It's an open link that leads directly to smut -- which is carried and posted in game.

Let SE know that you saw this thread as well, and that the community doesn't support the behaviors.


[End of Edit]

GM Laghegath has been professional, and understanding. I can't help but think their hands are tied as my problem remains unresolved. I have spoken to them several times regarding the problem...detailed below.

A player whom I have blacklisted has taken to creating free to play alts and continues to force contact. After blacklist, this army of alts also signs my message book, leaving porn links of modified characters with Futa parts. The links are left on my message book, and said in chat around my home and the FC.

Tonight, a blackmail from the same player. "This will continue unless player z (not involved) gets lewd with me."

Avoiding a blacklist.
Continued harassment.
NSFW image links put in public view.

What more needs to happen to allow this GM to help?

This has been an ongoing issue for months and is not only affecting Ashemmi but her very active FC, which I am a member of. I'm afraid that this person will leave damaging material in my or others in the companies books at our free company house if the house is left unlocked. I can't say I think it's very fair that a longstanding member of the community is not having the proper action taken against someone sexually harassing them for weeks on end.

I intend to continue updating this thread to make visible the issue at hand.

My third report (this week), was summarily closed last night after I made an appeal to speak to a Sr. GM.

The player in question had camped (stalked) in my apartment, pinging my message book to get my attention. I appeared and asked this new alt to leave. The response was to post, per their usual method, an imgr link, the link made a blackmail request for a player not involved to lewd with them, or the torture would continue. A threat was made.

Why imgr? As soon as the content is seen, it gets deleted. Their usual effort involves posting PORN in this method, publicly, to the message book and open chat. Then delete it once seen. Rinse, wash, repeat.
With this method, a GM will never see the content, because nothing but a link happens in game.

So just ignore it, yes? Then someone else, the first person to check out the public link will get a rather indecent surprise. I have dealt with this multiple times, as friends usually look at the links, so the content finds me anyway.

This, a separate issue from simple harassment. The player involved has been asked in very clear words, multiple times, to not engage with me. They have been blacklisted as well. Loading an alt, and forcing contact again is not okay.

just gonna bump this because it feels pretty serious

[Breakbeat]

I got ten days for saying a single 'curse' word in chat, and it wasn't even one of the top-tier bad ones. It was a mid-level one that starts with 'B'.

That being said, how is it that someone behaving in this manner gets no action?

I'd be putting in a new harassment ticket for every incident, and referencing old ticket numbers in every new ticket I submit.

Beyond that, I am not sure what to say. Is there another angle to this? Are we not getting the entire story? Devil's advocate and all that.

I'm just going off logic. Logic tells me that if GMs feel it's appropriate to action someone with a 10-day vacation for saying the B-word once, then the activities you describe would result in instant account closure.

[Ashemmi]

They are back, tonight a different Free to Play alt. Same IMGR links, and this time an f-list. Pictures published to it and all.
The link was said in /say, and in their search info too.

GMs.. How does this person still play? I'd love an answer.

[Ashemmi]

My last report was met with a form response.

They are back again tonight. Yet another porn link left in my address book(s).

Harassment, Stalking, and rather disgusting imagery.

Additional links placed in chat as well, with a group of people standing around.

[Ashemmi]

Tonight has been a busy night. My lovely stalker sent another player to arrange a "meeting", which I refused.
The answer to that, load another alt to come speak with me.

Another one added to the blacklist... Another one reported.

[Blossoming]

I just dealt with something similar and it feels like it’s just allowed to keep on happening which emboldens people to continue doing so, I had three random people flood my discord and post a lot of hateful/disgusting things and when I banned them they tracked me down in game to my fc house (it was unlocked) and would not leave and kept saying really vulgar things towards me and added messages in the FC book. Nothing happened and it was pretty disheartening to see things like this just happen over and over to others as well

[Ashemmi]

Another alt tonight, another post to my message book, another link to porn.
Square Enix - Sorry, but the response to this is really shameful.
A long term player along with many others have been reporting this player time after time.

Harassment, Stalking, Indecent Language and Indecent Imagery - All against the ToS.
You can do better than this.

If I post their name here, you'll take action and kill the thread in a heartbeat. Can someone, a GM, preferably a Sr reply?
