Well, first things first, report them! Especially with mail saying they should kill themselves. That crosses a pretty sharp line.
Report them and if they get banned and try to ban evade to continue then more serious actions could be taken.
Second, you know I kind of like the idea of mail filters. I mean, its very niche but I get it. We have whisper filters, trade filters, guild filters, etc. but no mail filters. I think it would be a good move.
Now, on the other hand, this is where the cynical side of me comes into play. That line tells me there is more to the story than what is being said. If she HAS reported it there is no way it has been going on for a year, and if he is making alt accounts to continue and its also been reported Blizzard would have put a stop to it.
I know a lot of people like to rag on how “reporting doesn’t do anything” but they do and especially in scenarios like what you outline above in terms of examples.
Again, this is where red flags pop up for me. If a guy is telling someone to kill themselves and they are reported I am pretty sure they are going to be actioned, in which case making a new toon won’t help them. If they continued by making multiple accounts, it would be noticed that they are continuing to harass her.
To me, this comes off as part of the story is either missing -OR- the person who is being “attacked” is not telling you something.
And then this isn’t really going to help your case but turning around and insulting Blizzard immediately after asking for help with a problem.

Again, while I agree with you at the start that Mail Filter’s would be cool to see, and I love the examples you made it’s really not a good idea to make its a petition and asking for people to vote by liking your post.
Having a lot of up votes does not mean they are more or less likely to notice your post. Trust me, if that were the case my post on the Caravan Brutosaur which has nearly 400 likes would have done something about that change.
They are not, they really are not. It needs to be reported and as I mentioned above, either part of this story is not being told -or- the person who you are speaking for in your post is not telling you the full story. Also, she needs to be the one making the reports.
Again, I think your idea of Mail Filters is great and I would love to see Mail Filters in game, however past that you are going about this the wrong way.
Yeah, which is making me thing that there is more to the story than what is being told or that the person who he says is being harassed is not giving him the full story in some way.
