How to handle in-game stalkers?

[Darki]

If this person were stalking you in real life, I would definitely see it as a problem. But the common mistake people seem to make a lot is that the world in the game and real life have anything to do with each other. It's may seem bad but it's about as bad as a pesky gnat at worst.

My advice is just blacklist him (yes I see that you have done that already) and just use him as a punchline is your FC or something like a running gag. Make some humor out of it. "Wow your crazy! I meen like <name of stalker> crazy!" "How often dose <stalker> wash his hands do you think?" stuff like that.

My girlfriend had this issue as she is known around online a lot and had this issue. Even had people buying the game and subbing just to talk to her. She changed her in game name back last year in spring (With the server trick) and then changed her character looks. It worked, no one bothers her anymore..at all.

That's a mighty high opinion you have of your hand. Sorry I could resist

If he is only spoiling anime and showing up on your FC lawn, then I dont think SE can do anything about that. It sucks and this person clearly has some issues, but for now my advice is to ignore him. He will get bored if everyone, included yourself starts ignoring him. Just make the whole FC blacklist and let him talk. He might trash talk to you for a month or two more, but aslong as everyone sees and hears nothing, he will get bored and move along.

Stay strong and ignore, dont insult him, dont talk with him. He is not there.

PS: Never spend real life money, because someone is stalking you, its best to wait till SE deem it bad and they do something about it.

Just ignore them, As they can't do anything to you.

Blacklist, and forget. Really you getting bug by them is likely giving them there kicks so they are winning because they are getting under your skin.

blacklist and ignore is a terrible solution in my eyes. these people need to be told that this behavior is not acceptable and possibly reprimanded

Are you under the impression that he isn't aware that his behavior is wrong? Chances are hes fully aware that hes being a creep. It just doesn't bother him. Ignoring him is the best solution you got if you can't get a GM to handle him and every new character he makes if his gets banned.

It's a lot like a skinner box. Responding to his harassment is his reward. Ignore him and he'll eventually give up.

Tell'em there's a big Roe on Gilgamesh that has some plans for him... BIG plans.

Seriously though. I don't think there's anything that will be done, sadly enough. I suppose if enough people reported him, eventually someone would have to take notice.
