Months of harassment

Big troll thread here from a bunch of new posters. Nothing to see here. Moving on.

you know what would entertain me? if somehow somewhere, it came down to you being in league with this problem person, I would have a giant laugh. simply because you don't add anything constructive, are clearly baiting responses as well that you are ignoring all facts being given, from multiple members who don't know each other across an entire data center. the fact that you disregard something that is such a giant issue that people that have never felt the need to use the official forums before this which has been a thing for a long time now, with no proper response proves to me how much of a low tier troll you seem to be, my guy/girl.

Why are you being so dismissive? I find your responses kind of suspicious and disingenuous given how blatantly obvious the workarounds are.

If you'd like to admit you haven't read a single post in this thread, that's cool, just do that. We shouldn't have to point out the dozen or so times where we've said this person is making trial accounts and multiple alts so blacklisting wouldn't work on them..

Additionally, if you have some kind of inane or cynical opinion about whether the novice network is useful or full of toxic mentors or this or that, the fact of the matter is it is in place for a reason and it exists to help new players whether that happens there or not; and to that end it should be supported by SE and the GMs who should moderate it properly. Not "ignore it." That isn't helpful advice, nor should that be the ultimate solution to people being disgusting in a game where they dont have to be and SE and the GMs can exercise control over whether people get to be disgusting or not.

Everyone's posting for the first time because the GMs aren't resolving it. We're bringing attention to it so they resolve it, ban the mentor's account and/or IP ban both him and the person who keeps adding. So maybe you should move on?

I'm not a new poster, and my post history will clearly show I'm not a troll, so if you want to use that as a metric I'll happily confirm everything being stated in this thread is 100% true.

This troll has reportedly been server hoping all around Aether doing the same thing; I have personally witnessed him spamming everything from laundry lists of slurs to personal attacks against people who had the audacity to censure him in the past, to the URL of this thread in the Adamantoise novice network, 5-12 times approximately every fifteen minutes and then immediately leaving before he can be kicked from the channel. He uses multiple accounts which either have random names or names which impersonate channel regulars. It's honestly gone past upsetting, through sad and into hilarious at this point; I'm almost jealous I haven't gotten a mention yet, guess he just can't come up with any way to insult someone as cool as me!

Maybe if the novice network and mentor system was an actual useful thing and not some kinda glorified chat room this kind of stuff wouldn’t happen. Instead you all just want your Burger King crowns as a badge of honour. Zero sympathy

Sounds like the novice network on your server needs some work; maybe you should see what you can do about that before you throw accusations at other people.

OUR NN is typically lively and friendly; a lot of chatting goes on in there (which sprouts often thank us for, since an active channel is less intimidating than screaming questions into the void), but we are more than happy to pause whatever we're talking about if someone asks for help. The regulars have worked hard to build a nice community for both mentors and novices, and to prevent the kind of toxicity the ubiquitous mentor system complaint threads claim is rampant on most servers (there's a reason you never see Adamantoise mentioned in those threads!).

If the channel was a cesspool normally, no one would notice or care about one more troll moving in, but since it's not, obviously we're going to do whatever we can to keep it clean.


As an aside, IIRC they encourage giving feedback regarding GM encounters on the forums, I spoke to one GM Reddipton about the matter the other day, and he was quite lovely and professional. I personally have full confidence he and his compatriots will get to the bottom of this and restore peace to our server as soon as they possibly can.

i'm not a new poster and i've been witness to it (and helping report it) in Cactuar NN. Just because it's not happening on Crystal doesn't mean it's not happening.

Keep blacklisting and reporting. You could also just ignore the person and move on with your day.

Those of us who are familiar with the problem ignore it the best we can, but sprouts who aren't aware get confused and we end up having to explain the problem. Especially because the macros they use to spam the chat with are multiple paragraphs worth of derogatory remarks, it's hard to ignore and move on.

I can't ignore the problem. You're still here.

Hm, I have a character on Adamantoise and a lovely program called Camtasia. I'd be happy to get on as I'm still in the NN and do some recording.

Any particular times this person seems to come on? Late int eh day or weekends, etc?

it tends to be random, we've had middle of the day, late evenings, early mornings. I've personally seen it a decent bit between 10pm-2am EST

Appears mostly in the afternoon, evening and night for me, doesn't matter weekday or weekend.

Unfortunately, SE doesn't accept 3rd party evidence. So it would be a moot point. Not that I'm against you recording this behavior, just wanting to let you know it won't amount to a whole lot.
