Housing change needs to happen.

If you get harassed so much that locking your house isn't enough then I wonder what you did to attract that much negative attention in the first place.

Can we not victim blame/assume the worst about people?

Nobody warrants harassment.

Bury them in furniture so they're completely stuck, then blacklist them. Proceed to claim you're house is haunted and someone was buried in the walls during construction. Assert that you sometimes see a hand sticking out of the partitions you have in the corner and that you can hear an odd clicking at night, like someone jumping up and down in rage.

You can quite easilly walk through placed furnature.

That doesn't do anything about people already inside, yea sure it'll kick em out whenever they log back in but the amount of time between patches is lengthy and that's the only forced log out.

How long are these people willing to stay inside the house without doing any duties or logging out?
Meeting any insane stalkers who dedicate their life to stalk you cannot be that common and those people you can just report anyway so the staff will take them into the prison which will also propably count as a duty so they are forced out of the house.

But they're usually just looking for the attention. Ignore them and they get bored, looking for a new "victim" to upset.

That's what most people do, and I don't blame them for this, but it's honestly a deeply twisted logic as well. "Bullying somebody else is okay as long as it's not me"/"I feel bad for them but at least it's not me" is an indirect assistance to abusers. It's harmful, because it does nothing to fix the issue. Not that it can be fixed completely, we should be real at this, but it doesn't mean that sitting in the corner and ignoring abusers so they can "change the victim" is fine.

Also, in more than half cases they don't change victim and only become more persistent (though I don't speak about FF14 specifcally in this particular sentence, more in general). Some people, even in FF14, try to ignore their harassers for months and years, blacklisting them to only see how they create another account/alt character, reporting them to see them coming back 2 weeks later even more annoying than before. And then again, as I said, some of them can go as far as moving their harassment and stalking to irl - it's not SE's work already at this point of course, I say it mostly to explain that no, just ignoring abuser is not a solution. It's sadly not as simple as it can look.

If you really want to keep others out, turn off guest access. If you're hosting a gathering for a large number of friends, keep access turned off until they are outside your house then turn it on just long enough for them to get in.

I wonder if it would work if the house owner just made the friends tenants one by one in order to let them in. Then there would be no risk of letting the harasser in as well.
