I do hope some people find a correlation between the rampant 18+ ads and general public acceptance of it and this kind of behavior. I just want this crap to go back to being private. Sure it is probably just one weirdo but I can't undo the connection in my head between the current state of shout chat/party finder and this horrible behavior. Apologies I know it is just personal and one rando but they proceeded to hit up the friend who came to bail me out as well and again I can't undo the connection between how open this has been as of late and well someone hitting up people out in the world about ERP.
Give them a flat no, not interested, and if they continue to pester, report them under harassment. I've done this after giving my no a few times before finally saying "I've already said no, stop harassing me." Reported them for harassment, copy and pasted the chat, and sent it off. (And before any "but Balmung" comes in, this wasn't even on Balmung, it was Zalera where it happened as I ported in to help a friend out with something.)

As it stands, I have "Erp = No" in all of my search comments, so if someone wants to RP with me, regardless of type, I'd expect them to be able to read and comprehend what "no" means - if they do and just want some gen rp, great, if not they're still going to be told no. If they get enough warnings, warnings turn into suspensions, and suspensions turn into bans. Most will stop at the warning because they don't want to lose access to their account. If they continue to be dumb, well... not my problem, and I hope a bit of time in Mordion Gaol or the waiting game on if they're about to lose their account makes them rethink their life choices.
