ok bro

i aint arguing with someone who thinks stalking is okay

adios

I NEVER said stalking is OKAY. Stop putting things in my mouth. I simply did not believe this counts as serious as "stalking". Be careful what you accuse people of.

Ending an argument because you have no more points to counter it. Sure.

The OP was never in any danger or harassment nor the person had intention to harm or harass (basing on that one DM). It borders discomfort depending on who receives that DM but that is not stalking. It is weird but that is not stalking.
Repeating my first post, I HATE to be that guy - but labeling that interaction as stalking is overreaction.

The other post asked me if I was in that situation, I would just simply blacklist and move on.
If you do not want messages from someone, blacklist them. If you do not want to share a screen with a character, leave. The blacklist system works as intended. There is no reason to be overdramatic in this specific situation.

Let me just quote Stalking as defined by the Support Centre itself:
https://support.na.square-enix.com/f...la=1&kid=68216

It is prohibited to stalk a player as described in the following examples. If a report has been filed and the prohibited activity is confirmed, a penalty will be issued.

- Persistently moving to locations where someone is, despite being asked to stop the behavior.
- Persistently sending messages to someone, or directed at someone, through Tell or other means, despite being asked to stop the behavior.
- Ambushing someone at their destination, or their housing estate, despite being asked to stop the behavior.
- Persistently sending a friend or party request despite being asked to stop the behavior.
- Creating new characters to message someone who has blacklisted you, despite being asked to stop the behavior.
- Attempting to make contact in-game with someone despite official authorities forbidding contact with them in real-life.

* The act of following someone around in a specific situation/area is considered "improper following" and is explained in the Obstruction of Play section below.

Should the details described in a report be determined as "stalking activity," the stalking player will be penalized, and we may contact the victim and obtain their consent to issue an in-game restraining order. Should we confirm that a player has attempted to contact the victim through any means after being issued an in-game restraining order, a more severe penalty will be imposed.
