I agree that Blizzard is really weak here. They could easily find out who this is and ban their accounts. The fact that it is sexual harassment and Blizzard still is weak-kneed about it is quite frankly pathetic.
There should be a regulatory body that fines Blizzard for stuff like this to keep going on.

Iâm sorry that this is happening to your friend. I agree that there needs to be more social controls available to players. I would love to be able to block whispers unless they are guildies or friends, for example.
I noticed you mentioned that your guild is trying to deal with it after trying everything. Do you think it would be worth just ignoring it completely? Just a thought, but if the suspect is in your guild then they could be feeding off the drama and attention maybe? I know itâs hard given the severity of the harassment, but I think itâs worth trying. Just completely ignore it and they will most likely get bored and stop. I have personally experienced similar severe harassment many years ago, and in the end after all the reports and measures I took (it got to the point where I would get harassing PMs within 1 min of logging in every time without fail), I just told them to get professional help and then just never responded again. They stopped. I think itâs a great way to take the power back. Give it a go.

Cyber bullying is taken seriously in Australia. Heâd be given a warning, put on a register and the story would end up in the paper.

Blizzard does not care one bit about harassment and has proven that time and time again.

And for everyone saying just ignore it, in real life there are serious consequences for this behavior. Just ignoring it does not punish the person, and even if they stop harassing you, they go on to harass someone else.
The correct course of action is for Blizzard to ban this personâs accounts, and then notify the police of their address on file.

This. Someone just needs to do it back and stand up to this person.

we need to feed them⌠otherwise they get bitey.
i really hope customer support can help shed some light on this for her⌠because as a few of us have said, something seems to be slipping through the cracks here.

go tell that to mister âdisproportionately harshâ and his cronies.
is there any reason you want people to take your word for it, when they can directly see otherwise?

yes.
it was a reference to the person who posted in CS complaining that their account action for harassment was more severe than the other people who they recruited to join in on harassing someone.
how can that thread possibly exist, if blizzard donât do anything about harassment? 
do you have some sort of motive for making these claims?
âŚbecause you kind of sound like the people who try to discourage people from reporting botters by claiming blizzard doesnât do anything about them⌠and the only people who would make claims like that, are people who would benefit if people believed it.

My motive is to shame Blizzard. Between inaction and just planned idiocy they have time and time again shown they donât care about protecting people.
This is the same Blizzard that came dangerously close to using real life names on this very forum. This is the same Blizzard who still does not have account wide blocking. This is the same Blizzard who was sued for discrimination and harassment.
They even removed the block posters from these forumsâŚ
seems kind of pointless⌠iâve just shown you that youâre wrong, and they do indeed action for harassment.
it wasnât removed, it didnât exist with this software.
itâs a thing now, so either use it or donât⌠but donât pretend it isnât there.

You didnât prove anything, you just made a claim about some supposed thread with no proof.
It was a thing with the previous software and they knowingly chose to move to software that had less protections for their people.
Where is the option to block posters I am not seeing it?
The only option I see is the one that doesnât show notifications, but does that hide their posts? I have two choices, normal and muted.
Thanks alot, and yea we have tried that. It seems to be a futile battle against this person since they always find her somehow. thanks for the input
âignoredâ is under normal and muted
