    What to do about harrassment

    What can you do about harassment when in-game tickets and reports do nothing?

    I know someone who has been dealing with someone who has been trying to smear their name for nearly a year. They have been making alts with the same name on different servers and coming to their home server to try and slander them in /shout with cruel and perverse words.

    They have followed them around in-game, worked around the block list, deleting and recreating alts, and have caused so much grief for this person. The harassment has extended out of game; following them on twitter, steam, accessing IRL information. While I know nothing can be done about the latter, nothing has been done about everything in game. Numerous people have reported this person, but they are still around, still harassing friends of mine.

    They do not want to post here out of fear of this person seeing this.

    Is there some other way to report this kind of harassment to SquareEnix and actually get results?

    Depending on the country you are living in you could report it to your local police. So they can do exactly what SE is doing, nothing!

    Try closing your eyes. The pixels on the screen can't hurt you.

    Normally I would agree, ignore it and move on, but the harassment has extended beyond the game.

    It boggles my mind that people post so much personal information online. Basically everyone from my generation that grew up as the internet was just growing into what it has become today always had it drilled into them to never post identifying information online. People should go back to that.

    Not everyone post there own information. I had my information posted against by knowledge on some website because I simply signed up for a new phone line. I had to go through a process to get it removed.

    This is the thing here. 90% of the time your information is sold by one company to another for marketing BS, and you end up having to jump through many hoops, travel to the ends of the universe, and submit tons of forms just for them to THINK about removing your information.
