Reporting Harassment?

[Sean]

seriously?

you get out much? being a wythenshaw scally the tag probably limits the hours you can be away from a fixed line telephone, but graphene? fascinating? you not aware of the next big thing then?

I was in fucking Ancoats last week. Drinking in The Townley. Makes Wythenshawe look like Chelsea.

 

[DeSarona]

maybe you should learn how to use ignore and stop being such a pansy.

Holy shit, you're a genius! Seriously, you must have an IQ of at least 110. Because that is the PERFECT solution!

Because people can't just make up a new username or anything like that, right?

And if they could, I guess the onus is on me to figure out who they are and block them again and again and they still manage to harass me that way, right?

its not been the same since 'they' shut the hospital down. then 'they' launched a campaign to keep the ruins open.. ancoats is the posh part of mile platting. which is like saying a haemorid is better than an arsehole.

now the Cob'o coal. a Mans pub!!!

I reckon you should just out the fucker. you obviously know who it is.

 

[silver gurl]

You were given options: ignore the idiot, create a new user name. That is all that can be done.
If you receive a message that you think is harassing, ignore it and do not reply back.

 

[lovetoread]

The poster has to be actually threatening harm to be kicked off of here. And even then they just come back with a new name.

Annoying you is not enough to have the owners step in.

You have 2 choices, ignore the dude or create a new name.

You have been told this over and over, why is it hard to understand?

You know what you gotta do, Sarona.

I began a role play with another member here, but I discovered he had lied about something and it made me uncomfortable. I ended the role play. This was last year. He has continued to PM and email me regularly. He alternates between spewing hateful insults at me and apologizing for "misunderstanding" the situation.

I've tried to just ignore him, but it's starting to get to me.

You could take this as a valuable lesson in what you risk in role playing on the Internet, change your account, and move on. You don't have any history to preserve in this account name (like stories in the file). While you're at it you might tone down your profile statement, which seems to invite just the sort of PMs you're objecting to. Some of the responsibility for not being hit on here is yours. Two strikes here--you invite sex PMs in your profile and you engage in role playing with strangers.

yeah, pretty much. what? you want the site owners to hold your fucking hand and babysit your ass? grow up and stop giving your email to strangers, you moron.

Role playing is a lie to begin with, so I don't see the problem.

Stop opening his pm's and this problem goes away.

Actually, more strikes on you here than that. You have the responsibility for having posted on a pornographic Web site, so that's three (and, actually, the initial decision point you are responsible for). And is there a fourth? Did you send provocative photos to him? If so, there's strike number four. The good news is that you can zero it out by abandoning this account and opening a new one and being more circumspect in the future.

I don't remember seeing that you did, so I'll ask. Did you PM Laurel about the problem, giving his (assuming it's a he) account name? That would have been the second step. The first step would have to not have set yourself up for being hit on because of the first three strikes I mentioned.

A bit harsh but he made some good points.
I think she was a bit naiive in assuming that those that she corresponded would be the way she hoped for.
Unfortunately, any porn site is a magnet for creeps.

I think too that starting over would be a good idea. She doesn't post on the public board anyway, so few chances that he might recognize her. She can always inform her friends of her new username.

Well...but...until...

Some motherfuckers here are already in limbo.

Put him on ignore. In the User CP menu there is a buddy/ignore option. Open that up and add his member name to it.

If you would tell us what email client you are using, we can tell you how to block him there too.

You can limit pms to only those on your buddy list.

When asking for help, it is better not to insult those answering. Everyone can see what you write including future prospective friends

 

[pete]

It's not my public posts I care about, it's the friends I've made via PMs! As you likely know, people often have long absences from here, but when we get back, we like to be able to reconnect... making a new account means they won't have a way to find me again.

putting him on ignore will save you from his pm's here, and i'm guessing whichever email service you use probably has a method to block unwanted senders.

there's no magic button, it'll take a bit of work on your part.
but it's definitely possible to get your intended results

good luck

I wonder if he would describe the events in the same way.

He did invent Velcro.

But he did not invent silent Velcro.

Sorry. I don't see how I phrased anything harshly. This isn't a kindergarten. People playing around here need to learn to be adults. I think my responses were straightforward adult. She has a certain amount of responsibility for her own actions (and pretty simple solutions to this problem that she could take herself without calling in the guards). I don't see this as a handholding case.

Maybe I phrased it the wrong way. Tough love would be a better choice of words.

I noticed that, in contrast to those 2-3 posters who posted only in order to derride her,
you, Noor et al went into it with the intention of helping (different styles yet same motivations),

How many friends have you made here? Thousands? Hundreds? Less than 10? You know who they are, right? PM them and tell them your going to re-brand yourself with a new ID. Tell them what it is. Then do it and be rid of the stalker for good.

Did you ask if that was fair? Which do you care about more, fair or effective?

 

[Hard_Rom]

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but I couldn't find a specific board for handling problems with other members.

Is there a place to discuss these things, or someone I can contact? I'm being harassed and I'd really like it to stop.

It is difficult. If they are getting past iggy by creating new accounts then as Noor said you may have to limit PMs to buddy list. This make it difficult to make new friends though. You may very well have to create a new account yourself and inform your friends first. Even this may be temporary.

The GB is an unmoderated thread and not known for helpfulness , friendliness or politeness. Also a complete troll trap. I refer to it as Deadwood (ala HBO series).

Sorry to hear. Hope you can work something out.

I haven't read this whole thread through yet but I hope someone told you to actually put the poster on physical ignore that this site offers. It's handy. I promise. He/she won't be able to PM you anymore.

 

[Christobal]

Hogan is so right. Life is not fair. Inform your friends and 100% COMPLETELY ignore the stalker. It may not be justice but it's your best option.

PS When you get a new name make no reference to your past life.
