what constitutes harassment?

Gay7Deer··1 votes·2,375 views

I asked a user to not comment on my posts, I of course will be doing the same and I haven't commented on any of his direct responses to my posts after saying this, i will also refrain from even mentioning him, if this user continues to comment on my posts after I asked him not to does this count as harassment under the boards rules?

I don't want him to be punished I just want him to leave me alone.

"I asked someone to not do something and they still did it"

First you have to understand that you asked. That in no way whatsoever means that anybody has to listen. It's a request. Requests, by definition, do not have to be followed. If he chooses to, fine. If not, that's fine too. There's no rule tha says he can't reply to whatever he wants.

That's just something you gotta accept. You don't get to decide that something is a crime just because it's against your wishes.

This is a public discussion board. You do not get to control who contributes.

okaaaay good job helping out your users lol, dudes following my posts around now and commenting on all of em.

mods dont seem to do shit around the boards which is why its so toxic ill just stop using them then cause its an awful circlejerk with rants about "sjws" and crap.

If someone is following you around and not contributing to the discussion, you should go to the boards discord and discuss with the moderators.

If they're contributing though, not much anyone can do

so how is this shit ok mods? is this contributing to discussion? yea?

fuck off, yall are horrible at making the boards non toxic.

Oh snap! it's the "if you disagree with me you're toxic" type of person. And when noone hugged him 4 hours after creating the thread, he starts flaming lol. Calm down. The boards are public and everyone can respond to anyone.

You do realize rujitra is not a mod, right?

That aside, if someone is commenting on your posts, but is still falling in line of the Universal Rules, then there really is nothing that can be done. Your best course of action is to report their posts & pop into Discord to chat with a mod.

You can report any post that you feel violates the rules.

Every reported post is looked at.

If they continue to post things like this, they will earn a punishment.

It's probably more effective to simply ignore them and report any of their posts that violate the Universal Guidelines.

Well, you can't really stop someone from replying to you or directing comments at you. There's nothing inherently wrong with holding a civil discussion and it's not fair to punish someone for speaking their mind so long as they do it in a healthy way.

But if the person in question is being aggressive and needlessly rude, then yes, that would constitute as harassment and you can report it with the function on the forums or in the Discord server.

ok ill just do that if he keeps finding my posts and being aggressive I guess

I was hoping a mod could answer what exactly is considered harassment because legally it is trying to contact you at all I believe, obviously that doesn't apply to the boards I just wanted to know how much the boards rule matches up.

Hotarµ1 votes

I'm sure a mod or other staff member will pop in and answer this question more succinctly, generally harassment in video games isn't the same as harassment in real world scenarios. I think this would just fall under the umbrella of "harassing you by being passive-aggressive" and not "going out of their way to contact you at all costs." (such as adding you on League, Discord, finding your Facebook, etc.)

its just going to ruin my boards experiences if this person keeps finding my posts and commenting on them with insults, hopefully he will leave me alone now...

thank you for your time

No problem. Just try to keep your head held high, a mod will definitely deal with it right away if they keep up any negative actions. Try not to stress it too much. Have a great day!

Why would anyone be obliged to stop responding to your posts just because you told them to? That makes no sense.

I got a punishment a while back for responding to a guy that taunted me as being the same person that had threatened me several years beforehand and was ban evading. It was for stalking when I was actually responding to his posts for the most part, so if the mods want to be consistent then yes you should be able to report him.
