| #1doomed4223Jun 26, 2008 22:20:06 | Hi, I do not think you know me. Or at the very least, I hope you do not know me. This is not my regular account name. I am not posting on that account name until some problems with my account, which I will detail beloww. These aren't my boards. I'm not posting there until the problems have resolved, as I have said. Recently, a user of these forums have decided to report every post me and a few other users make. For harassment. The pattern typically goes something lke this: Someone posts something in my posting style (which is very discintive), and then they recieve a skalding PM, with accusations of being ME, with something at the end with "im reporting u for harassment." Or, they could just simply disagree. Sameresult. Or, they could PM him, asking him to lighten up. Same result. I have screenshots of these PMs, if a mod requires them. All of their posts get reported for "Harassment." Then... The user recieves a ban/warn/whatever in less then 24 hours later then the cycle repeats when they get unbanned. This has been happening to me for a few months now. I have no idea how the user is getting people banned so easily, and it is my idea that he is reporting them for sending flame PMs to him. Which is stupid, as these can easily be faked. So, why wait until now to report this? Well, the idea just came to me. Also, he has apparantly found my personal information. I believe he may be sending it on this, or a different forum. My previous household is getting telephone calls from this user, I believe. My work has been called many times, and my boss has recently been told me that if I do not find a way to stop this calls, I may have to be fired. It is possible I will be fired from my occupation because I disagreed with a stranger over the internet. So, what do I need? I need to talk to a WizO. Peferrably over an *Instant* form of communication (IE, IM). This is just my perference, I dislike any non-instant form of commincation, IE, Face to Face, Instant Messaging, phone, etc. If I could talk to the WizO of the Paradox. We have a history together. If a WizO wishes to verify who I am, they could check my email. I used the same to registers my other accounts. I need an email to talk to Customer Support. I need them to actually answer my emails. PS: Sorry, english is not my first language. I hope this doesn't hurt your understanding of my post. |

| #5shamurai7Jun 26, 2008 23:02:34 | i feel bad for you... something similar happenned to me on my myspace account, and some fruitcake somehow got my information and started messing with my account and was able to get my work # and harrass my employer. It was a pretty big deal, and i didnt even know who the dude was..... nutjobs all over the place....... i hope they are more helpful for you than myspace was for me.... as they were worthless. i had to track the dude down (found he lived in my state) and me and 2 buddies drove 2 hours and -----edit for appropriatness------- lol creepy thing was how much the guy knew about me.... he caused me to be 100% more paranoid than i used to be on the internet. wish i could sue for mental anguish |
| #6doomed4223Jun 26, 2008 23:03:38 | Clear your cache and try again. Okay, that got it working, but WHY is there a "Planet of Orgin" and a "Whats your Sign" box? ![]() Edit: Is this in any way linked to previous accounts on gleemax? |
| #7ORC_ChaosJun 26, 2008 23:05:39 | I believe that's a bit of geek humor. No, the Customer Service Database and the Forums database are separate. |
| #8doomed4223Jun 26, 2008 23:09:19 | This is a problem, as I can not find a way to get my account that the one being harassed, only one I can not post from because of techical issues. |
| #9doomed4223Jun 26, 2008 23:16:37 | It will not let me submit an email. The continue button is greyed out. |
| #10ORC_ChaosJun 26, 2008 23:19:44 | Perhaps log out and log back in and try to send a new email. |
| #11Ko_Jul 05, 2008 23:14:05 | Wow, that sucks. Hope everything turns out ok. ![]() |
| #12akumadaimyoJul 05, 2008 23:18:44 | Perhaps log out and log back in and try to send a new email. Ironman is on the job! He will take care of the harrasers! He's forming a team you know...;) |
| #13miss_bunJul 23, 2008 3:23:31 | This is so stupid. Not the thread, but the fact that it has to be made. Get a life, nonOP person. You know who you are, and you know we know who you are. The real you. Not the mask. And we are not amused. |
| #14renizarJul 23, 2008 23:35:18 | you know the easiest why to get it delt with? Call the cops on this guy. The can track the phone calls, Acount activity and so muct more. Why not just call them, seems like there braking the law, not just gleemax rule, to me. |
| #15pigknightJul 24, 2008 0:12:23 | Seems like stalking. |
| #16ostrakonJul 24, 2008 0:49:10 | you know the easiest why to get it delt with? Call the cops on this guy. The can track the phone calls, Acount activity and so muct more. Why not just call them, seems like there braking the law, not just gleemax rule, to me. That would be a massive overreaction, IMO. I've had a similar problem over at the City of Heroes boards. A poster who couldn't handle people disagreeing with him started reporting ever post I made, and even started harassing me in-game. I talked to the mods about it, and I haven't heard from him since. |
| #17renizarJul 24, 2008 10:30:08 | That would be a massive overreaction, IMO. well, he did say that this guy is doing it to the brink. From OP My previous household is getting telephone calls from this user, I believe. My work has been called many times, and my boss has recently been told me that if I do not find a way to stop this calls, I may have to be fired. That is considerd stalking, and if you boss is going to fire you for that, the I think it is/should be illegal to do. And wy is this guy calling his house anyway? hew has no reason to other then stalk him. |
| #18rictras_shardJul 24, 2008 12:50:24 | That would be a massive overreaction, IMO. I used to play City of Heroes, and often frequented the forums. Out of curiosity, what is your forum name? |
| #19ostrakonJul 24, 2008 13:00:14 | Same as it is here. |
| #20rictras_shardJul 24, 2008 13:07:34 | Same as it is here. Ah, can't remember reading anything of yours. Had a lot of fun with CoH, but for some reason, this computer, which is superior in every way to the one I played on, can't handle the game. The one you had a problem with wouldn't have been Part_Troll, would it? |
| #21ostrakonJul 24, 2008 13:33:35 | Nope, it was Circuit_Boy. (I'm pretty sure he was part troll, though, even though his name wasn't Part_Troll). |
| #22doctorhookJul 25, 2008 21:50:20 | This is genuinely scary s***. Why the heck...? What the...? I honestly don't understand this. What motivates someone to harass someone like this? I mean, there've been a few posters whose opinions simply annoy me, whom I sometimes feel might deserve to have every post of theirs reported, and yet I phoning them -- repeatedly -- is about the last thing I want to do. Obviously, this person's intention is to make your life miserable, and yet, I still don't understand what this person must be thinking. Cyber-bullying is a new but clear form of harassment. (Especially when it crosses into traditional forms of harassment, obviously.) I won't advocate violence against this person, but I strongly suggest confronting him. Failing this, don't hesitate to take legal action against him; harassment is a crime, and deserves to be treated as such. In effect, this is assault against your mental health instead of your body; your psychological well-being is no less important than your physical health. |
| #23akumadaimyoJul 25, 2008 23:26:47 | I had some idiot on the Champs Online board threaten to stalk me and report any post I made that he didn't like. So I reported him for stalking. The people I talked to seemed to agree that would be stalking. I love when "vigilante" message board goers get their's. Sorry pal, but your not the online version of the Batman. ![]() |
| #24batshidoJul 25, 2008 23:44:45 | Sorry pal, but your not the online version of the Batman. Damn straight. I'm Batman. |
| #25akumadaimyoJul 25, 2008 23:50:36 | Damn straight. So is Batshido like a new form of martial art? I think it should be the Batman's own form of martial art. :-p I'm more of a Marvel Comics man. I love Deadpool. You can be the Batman if you want. Deathstroke can whop his butt any day of the week. ;) (If I had to be a DC char, Deathstroke is just damn cool.) |
| #26batshidoJul 26, 2008 0:03:52 | So is Batshido like a new form of martial art? I think it should be the Batman's own form of martial art. :-p Close. Back in the day, I thought it sounded cool; a mash-up of Batman and Bushido. Now that I'm a little older, it's pretty obvious to me exactly how much of a tool I used to be just looking at it. ;) As it stands, though, it's my tag pretty much everywhere, so I'm kind of stuck with it. I have people I know in real life that refer to me as "Batshido," and I'm fairly sure they wouldn't know my real name if I asked them. :P I'm more of a Marvel Comics man. I love Deadpool. You can be the Batman if you want. Deathstroke can whop his butt any day of the week. ;) (If I had to be a DC char, Deathstroke is just damn cool.) I'm a Daredevil/Cyclops/Captain America guy myself, in the Marvel U. Though Cable & Deadpool is easily one of the best books I've read in years. |
| #27renizarJul 27, 2008 13:16:20 | This is genuinely scary s***. Why the heck...? What the...? -_- Didn't I say that too? |
| #28doctorhookJul 27, 2008 13:39:56 | -_- Didn't I say that too? You sure did. I just fleshed it out a little. |
| #29doomsoughtJul 27, 2008 14:48:38 | you know the easiest why to get it delt with? Call the cops on this guy. The can track the phone calls, Acount activity and so muct more. Why not just call them, seems like there braking the law, not just gleemax rule, to me. If he Is about to get you fired, call the cops. He will stop after this, if he doesn't, the next thing is to buy a gun. You might need it. And If he actualy logged on to you account, he is breaking the law (identity theft) |
| #30doctorhookJul 27, 2008 15:18:42 | If he Is about to get you fired, call the cops. He will stop after this, if he doesn't, the next thing is to buy a gun. You might need it. ...Don't buy a gun for this guy. It can only end badly. Instead, if it gets to this point, call the cops and hire a lawyer; if you're worried about your safety, invest in home defense (better locks, sturdy doors, bars on your windows, etc.). |
| #31omnicronwarlordNov 04, 2008 15:57:52 | Hi, I do not think you know me. you wouldn't happen to normally have a certain robotic avatar? If you do, then no one's fooled by your continual switching of accounts psionx. If you don't, then this guy(s) who continue to report your posts are kinda weird. |
| #32omnicronwarlordNov 05, 2008 14:50:05 | lol no, I can assure you, it's not PsionX. I don't know, a distintive posting style, switching accounts a ton over the last few months, a likely target for reported posts... seems possible |
