A couple months back a guild mate and I got into an altercation that I ended up reporting him for. We weren't on such good terms in the first place because of his lack of respect for the rest of the guild, so when I banned him for calling me a rather not nice name, he started harassing me. He sent me a PM on the OS forums wishing that I would die. From there on I would get whispers, he'd sign onto an alt and enter our guild's academy, or he would guild war us for attention. When he eventually couldn't reach me anymore he started in on the girls of our guild. He tried winning their sympathy by belittling me to them, and it grew to general harassment such as constant hounding and stalking them.
Until just a few days ago, I had actually thought it stopped entirely. He stopped coming to our guild forum for a while. But in the last two days I've had to actually disable the sign ups for our guild forum, and I've had to delete several messages from our shoutboard. The shoutboard issue is more of an ongoing thing. He leaves some rather tasteless messages, and I delete them so the rest of the guild doesn't have to suffer his childishness.
So, essentially I have no evidence to support another report for harassment, especially since it's being mostly done these days off-game. But it's getting to the point that I have to delete a lot and I'm getting incredibly agitated by this. And I'm not worried so much about me - obviously I've been dealing with it for months, but I'm worried more for my guildmates than anything. I've had several complains and I told them to screenshot as much as possible, but... only so much can be done to stake the right claim.
What I want to know is not about my case (though haha I did vent here, sorry) but if this has happened to anyone else and what they've done about it. Or maybe some other stories of harassment issues. It's incredibly interesting to me to see what sort of players are in this game. But then, I really like to hear these sorts of things because I use people as guinea pigs for social experiments rofl. You know. The "gather knowledge about people and how they react to something" sort of thing. XD
