There’s some strange people on this game…or any game for that matter. You should meet my Moon guard weirdo. He’s got a thing for my paladin. ![:roll_eyes:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/roll_eyes.png?v=6" ":roll_eyes:")
I call him the ‘toe sucker’. He loves to try and do what he calls erp (?!) Pretty disturbing.

I used to do that when I was younger, but I ended up having TONS of stalkers. I don’t know how many of them were actually my age instead of just 40 year old weirdos creeping on 14 year old me.
I now act like an asexual dude in video games. “romance” gets so strange when its anonymous like in WoW.
This makes the mommy parts of my brain pretzel in pain. No, no, no, just no.

Luckily a good friend of mine got posted on 4chan and had a dude stalking her already by that point, so I was wise to not giving out any personal info.
People were definitely still trying to take advantage of me.
This thread took an unexpected swing. We got “swatted” (of sorts) once, do I count too?
Yeah! Story time! What caused someone to want to do that to you, and how did they find your location?
Kiddo had a Facebook stalker, I guess they dug around enough that they got just enough info that they could get the rest on one of those “background check” websites.
Called in a couple fake reports to our house, of suicides and such. Wasn’t the “swat” team persay but it was the boys in blue.
While pulling up info on this turd so I could file a restraining order, I used one of those $10 sites myself. I got so much info, I even know who his mother’s bankruptcy attorney was from 2010. You don’t need much to work with when it comes to those sites. Be wary.
I spent 6 hours on the phone navigating the maze of cross-state jurisdictions, phony emergency laws, and electronic crime.
Kiddo doesn’t use social media anymore. ![:upside_down_face:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/upside_down_face.png?v=6" ":upside_down_face:")

So a $10 site helped you get a restraining order?

Sorry when cops come knocking asking who killed themselves, $10 is pretty cheap.
Interesting, a $10 site can be used for legal purposes?
Took me ~2hrs /played to get 284ilvl @ 119. That’s right around where most ‘twinks’ were in that bracket ( 295 was pretty average ). I fail to see the issue with having to put minimal effort into your gear to be competitive in any bracket.

^ This. So much this. No touching Social Media for my littles.
Sheltered lives don’t happen in the big city.
You’d be surprised how hard it actually is to police that, and this is someone who comes from a network administration background.
Policing kids, and using $10 sites for legal purposes?
Yeah I’m sure you’ve seen ads for stuff like that when you Google what an unknown phone number is. I was like “well, screw it - let’s see.”
It was a huge info dump I got in return. Scrolling through to find what what I wanted, I saw speeding tickets, GPA, bankruptcy filing, property assessment values, etc.
How did that protect you? Law enforcement accepts information from $10 sites?
The TL;DR of it is all I had was a supposed name. Of a minor. Minors don’t appear in all the law enforcement databases like adults do. (Or they’re prohibited from revealing that to me). I had to get info on a parent.
Turns out that wasn’t his actual name, he was using the last name of his birth father, and not his father-in-law. The father-in-law name was his legal name.
Until I had all the pieces, talking on the phone with law enforcement they couldn’t find anything on this guy.
It wasn’t until I did some Facebook sleuthing to find out who his mother probably is (it was), and pulled up the info from that $10 site that I was able to get anywhere.
In order to stop a stalker, I had to be a stalker. That’s our world.
Interesting story. Law enforcement over the phone, accepting information utilized from $10 sites. ![:thinking:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/thinking.png?v=6" ":thinking:")
Well I didn’t tell them where I got it - it checked out, and they actually admired my “effort”. It was like 6 or 7 hours of my time all said and done, most of which was being handed off from one subdepartment to the next.
