A serious matter. Players being harrased.

The other party began using hidden accounts to try and message us, and tried to get other people to send us tells, demanding that we speak to them...etc... It pretty much evolved into some extreme drama that was focused at one group of people in particular. From what I know, its still going on within an SG that this person joined, and the SG leader forbids anyone from placing them on ignore and generally thinks the behavior is okay. Its not.

And yes, petition every single time it happens. If you have them on gignore and they're following you around a zone, zoning with you, getting people to send you tells, petition.


I can trump that story. I once had a player pay lowbies in Atlas 1 million each to
message " You are a ( insert cword followed by bword add a fword and shamoo... add more)!!" to my global account. The funny
thing was many ended with " Im sorry I dont even know you. I just needed the influence."



Long story short the dude paying out all the cash for the harassment was a PVPEC member. Id get roughly 10 tells a night and if I wasnt quick with /ignore even more.

Lol and you guys wondered why I am a bit jaded and extremely no nonsense.

I would add to the op to take note of the times of the harassment and the character name and//or account name of the harrosor. If you can give them specific times and a name they can pull chatlogs and see for themselves.I would reccommend getting one screenie of incriminating dialogue and then an ignore if you actually want to see the player penalized.

This is a sad topic and its a shame it even has to be discussed. Just the basics are outlined in this thread. Harassment can be far more severe than many people realize.It will extend to and be incorporated by social networks ingame to label a player anathema whether justified or not.

This is a social game. The intranets feel as if they provide anonymity to some players. Only real solution is get a thick skin and take measures to avoid such people.

I also want to add the person was NOT a Justice player.

P.s. Mod12 leave my posts the **** alone unless you are going to leave the true context when editing. You are not in my head . Nor did you have my experience in game with harassment. QUIT changing things so that they read completely different than intended.You get a C- for your editing abilities.

Oh, I could trump that story, too. I was just saying what's been happening on Justice lately to way too *many* people. And this individual is quite persistant. I'm not the only one in this thread who has been harrassed/stalked by them.

I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't know what went down.

Take it as a success that it hasn't gone completely public yet...

Don't worry, you're not alone. I have zero clue what's going on. I've been far too out of touch with COH over the last couple months due to a relocation and new job.

Well, allow me to threadjack briefly and say, grats on the new job, Manoa!

I do not know what is going on either heck i have been on freedom for a while except to do Mo runs with Minos, or to do Tanker Tuesdays on other servers as well.

I'm pretty sure Gads was correct in what was meant.

I took it as being careful of giving out one's personal information of "age/gender/sexual preference/etc".

I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

That sort of talk in a thread about stalkers is just the sort of class justice has.

Strange Server.

Anyways, way back when I started playing the game I had someone saying inappropriate things to me repeatedly. Took me forever to figure out how he found me no matter what hero I was on (I had Global Friended him without knowing what it meant.) I had no idea about Globals, Ignore, Hide or anything else at the time. This is my first MMO and I had no idea what I could do.

After a bit of time I discovered I could make him go away, atleast for me anyways. Been relatively quiet for me ever since.


Sorry for the reasons for the threads creation but still happy to see it here.


Enjoy your day please.

Not sure that I personally would ever have "Stunrunner" and "cool" in the same sentence, ever.
