People do this? LOL.

This has happened to me - It's really psychotic behavior.

I've had people literally sit at my house, and tell their FC to also sit at my house and harass me. It's so fucked. Took like 2 weeks of reporting them to GMs for it to stop.

Wow...that really is taking things a bit far. Geez. If you disagree with someone don't follow them around in game. Let them enjoy themselves and keep your discussions in the forum they chose to discuss in.

It's also an instant report of harassment, which SE supposedly takes seriously. Though from some of the threads seen here on the forums they don't actually take as seriously as proclaimed.

Wow, that is actual degeneracy. Shocking it took 2 weeks to stop harassment like that. I mean, maybe shocking is the wrong word. Sad I guess?

A lot of people on the forums get mocked and ridiculed for posting with throw away alt characters on their profile, but it's a bit of protection really. Some would view it as a sign of weakness and a lack of backbone. But it's really just, we don't want to be bothered in-game over stuff from the forums. People on Twitter, Reddit, and even Twitch chat can all post confidently their thoughts without it being traced back to their main characters. The forums is much different. If you say an opinion piece and you are on the wrong side of the argument, people will know, and it could follow you. Depending on what you said/did. Some would say that's called being held accountable, but I'd just rather have that stress-free anonymous feeling that you can get from the other forums.

Yes after seeing some stuff that happens, I wouldn't blame anyone for not posting on their main myself.
