In game mail options to reduce harassment

She has been doing this for a year. That is what makes this so frustrating. She does not want to quit the game, but cant seem to get any relief from this. As it is showing in some of the comments, players like the one she is dealing with are not uncommon, as ppl seem to have the same vile mentality that she did something to deserve this. Sad this is the community these days.

Hope youā€™re not referring to me. Anything I say on the internet is what I would speak aloud in real life.

I thought you said ā€œskoomaā€™d outā€

Lol

Wish I could help troll this sorry excuse for you. Iā€™ll give them a new person to deal with lol.

Have you heard of the high elves?

There were a lot of them yesterday.

Think about this for a minute, if this was really an issue, youā€™d have hundreds of random spam mails from gold farming sites, boosters, gold for services, etc. Why donā€™t you? Because if they get reported, the account gets banned.

Soā€¦ if blizzard isnā€™t doing anything (very unlikely, or there are circumstances you arenā€™t telling us), then have her file a police report. If everything is credible enough, theyā€™ll follow up with Blizzard and get a much more escalated response than any GM is capable of.

Yeah. My post on it just got moderated. So that means there are CMs on the forums right now and they ARE ignoring this thread! With an ACTUAL issue.

They are IGNORING someone with an ACTUAL issue and is reaching out. Itā€™s disgusting.

The reaction the emails are getting from the player and guildmates are what keeps this going. If the player just deleted the emails quietly and didnā€™t comment about them to anyone the emailer would lose interest.

A CM is not the same as a GM

No, they are not. BUT they could delete this thread too.

In a heartbeat, absolutely. I donā€™t talk to people, so this would never happen to me, but Iā€™d rather not have to deal with constant threats than play a video game :rofl:

Lookā€¦ its like this. The reason why the report on the mailbox doesnā€™t work because itā€™s only one person reporting them. You need multiple reports for a person to be silenced. And reports add up. they also diminish from person to person over time.

And those reports need to be from different people in order to add up to a silence.

Depends on the personā€¦ some people are obsessed, so ignoring them will only push them further / to other avenues.

I seriously doubt blizz is ignoring it. If it has continued for that long, then either it has been spurred on by the recipient, or there is something else that isnā€™t being conveyed here.

Iā€™ve reported people who have made IRL threats in-game, both in WoW and OW. Both had actions taken by GMs within a day, and it was a one time thing.

Iā€™m not on board with tossing 15 years of fun times out the window just so some jack rabbit no longer harasses me.

I admire your backbone and straight shooting though!

Good luck my friend and stay safe. :kissing_heart:
