Nyx

Previously about 3 months ago or so a level 1 alt sent me an incredibly rude and sexually graphic tell. I didn't take a screen shot, but I did report it. nnAbout a month ago a level 22 struck up a conversation with me. He was evasive about his identity. Neither is uncommon. People seem to think I remember all their alts and like to tease me if I don't. The conversation was uneventful when he started to make some suggestive comments and I didn't respond to them. He asked about that and I told him I wasn't interested in that sort of thing and stopped talking to him.nnNow this:n[09/07/2010]n17:37 [Darkclouded]: Hi Ai. we have something we need to talk aboutn17:38 [Aitana]: What is it?n17:38 [Darkclouded]: I was just approached by a level 22 named gardek who attempted to convince me you ERPed with them. I don't know WHY they tried to do that but they were persistant and tried to threaten me with putting the rumor on the realm forumsn17:39 [Darkclouded]: earlier on they quoted something I said directly out of guild chat and tried to convince me that they were nothing but a spyn17:39 [Darkclouded]: they also brought up the names ginojika and stodesgiern17:40 [Aitana]: that is beyond bizarren17:41 [Darkclouded]: I know. I talked to bloodthin about it and waited for you to log in to tell youn17:41 [Darkclouded]: whoever it is they had access to our guild chat n17:43 [Aitana]: I don't even know where to start with that.n17:43 [Aitana]: I know what you can do. Report it.n17:44 [Aitana]: They are threatening to defame me.n17:44 [Aitana]: Say so in the report.n17:44 [Aitana]: PLEASE report that conversation.n17:45 [Darkclouded]: I'm doing so now Ain17:45 [Aitana]: thank youn17:48 [Aitana]: btw, there was somebody with a name like that who whispered me a month ago or so.n17:48 [Darkclouded]: level 22? member of some random guild like booty bay beach boys or something?n17:48 [Aitana]: It was a normal conversation but I didn't recognize the alt and asked them who it was.n17:49 [Aitana]: yesn17:49 [Darkclouded]: then it's the same personn17:49 [Aitana]: although I'm not sure he was guilded at the timen17:49 [Darkclouded]: I armoryed them a bit ago and apparently they are running the character with practically no gearn17:49 [Aitana]: He never did give me a straight answer.n17:50 [Darkclouded]: well either way the conversation has been reported , or as much of it as I can with the limited space in the GM tickets.n17:50 [Aitana]: Anyway that's not uncommon among all the people that whisper me.n17:51 [Aitana]: Then he started to talk nasty as in telling me he wanted to fuck me and such.n17:51 [Darkclouded]: oh and also a level 1 alt just tried sending me a tell asking if we're doing an arenas event with republicn17:51 [Aitana]: ask Uluan17:51 [Darkclouded]: ..... seriously? then this is probably the same guyn17:51 [Aitana]: I don't know if we have one scheduledn17:51 [Aitana]: I suspect so.n17:52 [Darkclouded]: the person who contacted me was constantly going on about "aitana isn't as good as you may think I have screenshots to prove it"n17:52 [Aitana]: I didn't report it at the time. I just blew it off since it was easy to do.n17:52 [Darkclouded]: they even tried to sell me on the idea of contacting them for an email adress to talk to. I put that in the report as welln17:54 [Darkclouded]: AI? I have a questionn17:54 [Darkclouded]: do I have a sign above my head saying "crazy? have an issue or question for nyx? contact this guy!"?n17:55 [Aitana]: ROLFMAO!!n17:56 [Darkclouded]: cause seriously it seems that I keep getting the interesting tells asking about the guild or to talk to an officer >_>n17:56 [Darkclouded]: first I get the guy from eternal winter using me as a liason to you and lah and then this guyn17:57 [Aitana]: and then the guy asking about Republicn17:57 [Darkclouded]: yepn17:57 [Darkclouded]: I mean I seriously have to ask what about me makes people think I know these things or, if I did know them, would give them up without a reason?n17:58 [Aitana]: You have a calling to be an Oracle!n17:58 [Darkclouded]: hurtful Ai :Pn17:58 [Aitana]: *does happy dance* I GET TO STEP DOWN!!!!!n17:58 [Darkclouded]: your'e not that luckyn17:58 [Aitana]: No? n17:58 [Darkclouded]: nope :Pnn18:02 [Aitana]: lolnn18:05 [Aitana]: going back to what you said earlier, that guy Gardek ...n18:05 [Darkclouded]: yes?n18:06 [Aitana]: was he trying to blackmail you or something?n18:06 [Aitana]: or what did he hope to gain by telling you stuff about me and threatening to put it on the forums?n18:06 [Darkclouded]: no to be honest I think he was trying to either get me to start a rumor mill or turn me against you or something. he started out asking why gino left then turned to trying to incriminate youn18:07 [Aitana]: I must have really pissed off somebody.n18:07 [Darkclouded]: I don't know what he actually hoped to gain because he didn't say he really wanted anything he just started out trying to talk about ginojika, you, and then he mentioned stodesgier befire I put him on ignoren18:08 [Darkclouded]: I think he may have partly been trying to hack me thoughn18:08 [Aitana]: that's just weird.n18:08 [Aitana]: Did you say that he asked for your email?n18:08 [Darkclouded]: cause he mentioned an email adress that I could talk to him about then contact that to get pictures of what he thought was "evidence against you"n18:09 [Darkclouded]: he didn't ask me for my email but the fact he mentioned an email adress led getting my email as an obvious conclusionn18:09 [Aitana]: *nod*n18:10 [Darkclouded]: near the end they were being self obssessed calling themselves a "master of secrets" and then saying the thing of "maybe the realm forums will like these rumors if one nyxian doesn't"n18:12 [Aitana]: that almost sounds like blackmailn18:12 [Darkclouded]: that's what I was thinking. it was about that point that I put them on ignore

I'm assuming that he contacted others since Dark didn't cooperate. I would love to see what 'evidence' he has against me.

I don't know but I have my suspisions that I have reported directly to you the name already. ill keep my spys and scouts searching.

On a related note, if anybody else gets any sort of harassing tells, be sure to report them. Blizzard does take this stuff very seriously.

Never fear Aitana, we shall be vigilant!

I may not being a member of Nyx as of right now but I would like to add that since I left someone by the same name of similar name has continueousely whispered me. He has not yet harrassed me but his annoyance is getting close all he say's isnn"Hey Bitch why ya leave Nyx?"nnI was unable to ever get any screenshots cuz he normally does it when I'm logging out or in the middle of soemthing that causes me to lose the text i.e. searching trade chat or WG.nnI am extremely concerned and I have reported this person up to 5 times as of last night.nn~Gino

Gino, definitely get WIM. It'll keep the messages for so long. But you have be tosure to close each window to log stuff. At least I do. It'll help in situations like this.

nnnYeah I was thinking the same myself but I have a really hard time with WIM. I'm actually on my laptop and wow isn't even on the laptop it has to be on an external harddrive because my computer can't handle WOW by it's self. I do try to take screenshots though. If it happens again I'll be ready this time. I'm really disturbed and upset this person is doing this.nn=(nn~GinonnPS Thanks again for the advise Ria =)

nnIf you'd like I wrote an addon that I can post up around here somewhere (it's super simple) the whole purpose of it is to run the /chatlog command right when you log in so you ALWAYS have logs of chats (only time you don't is if you crash, but I've noticed that I only lose about 4 minutes of text when that happens since the chatlog is saved en masse when the buffer fills.nnThen if something like this happens you can go back and find the conversation.nnOnly downside is that if you run addons like MyRoleplay you have to wade through the spam from those channels.

nReporting them is the most important thing you can do. Blizzard takes harassment very seriously. They don't use our screen shots as evidence because those can be faked and same with our chat logs that we post. We don't really have the means to make irrefutable evidence. But Blizzard has their own logs of everything that is said in every communication channel. It is absolutely critical that you report this every time it happens. If you already have a ticket open when another incident happens, do not create a new one. Edit the one you have open and add to it. nnI want to talk to you in vent about what you've been putting up with. I also want to talk to Leoness because I think she has been subject to similar harassment.
