How About An "Incognito" Player Status?

[Bloody]

Does it prevent u from being bitten again? etc.

You should compare it to smth more similiar.

Can you prevent being insulted in the first place? etc smth like that for example I used the word exaggerating because you compared the privacy settings of your psn account which contains your rl informations to ingame informations. A stalker can join linkshells (hunt ls etc.) which u are in to see the zone, he could make a alt to join your fc, a friend of the stalker shares a ls with u or saw u ingame. Just few examples how ppl can stalk even without using player search. Hell they can even ask in the areas if someone saw u. You shouldnt be forced into a status because of such people get rid of the complete problem and get them banned etc. This will prevent said stalker to stalk you or other players in future.

My biggest problem with your main argument in this thread is that it is basically saying "You can't prevent everything so why bother?"

There is no such thing as perfection, but it doesn't stop people from striving for it. There will be no perfect protection against harassment or RMT, but when there is something you can do to mitigate it, and it is potentially quite feasible, there is no reason not to do it. Like you, I don't agree with all of the suggestions regarding an incognito mode brought up in this discussion, but clearly there is a difference in opinion as to worthwhile actions.

On your second point in the post I quoted, I definitely agree that people shouldn't be forced into a status to avoid harassment, and reporting it will ultimately be a better solution. However, an incognito mode that reduces the ability of harassers to reach you is still a useful tool as it creates more space between the offender(s) and the victim(s). Incognito can help victims avoid offenders while GMs handle the situation (which is sometimes necessary, I've heard of people harassing right up to the moment of ban before, sadly).

In regards to your aggressiveness, I would say that the tone your writing projects comes off as very dismissive of other opinions, which generates negative responses and is why you are being "aggressive" in that sense. It isn't as straightforward as aggression (which is generally quite clear).
