I agree it can be scary having unknown ppl threatening to track you down or w/e but some context should be applied, saying these things during an argument is the exact same thing as you say to each other in rl when you scrap, it's highly unlikely anyone is really going to track you down and turn up on your doorstep.

What I was thinking with that post was actually that if left unchecked things like these can escalate to dangerous degrees. As the other poster said, you never know when the person behind the other screen is a no-lifer sociopath, and deep web murders-for-hire are not that much expensive than a ticket to that guy's house in Sweden. So, you see, someone threatens someone else to dox and ruin his life, and out of desperation the victim might consider doing that sort of thing. Escalation is a reality and I do believe this is a serious issue.

Yes, I'm not saying it isn't a serious issue, I've had two experiences of this type of thing since I've been here so I'm honestly not taking it lightly, which is why I posted the report information in the first place.

One of those incidents was similar to this and yes, I was really worried, so much so that I stopped posting and virtually stopped playing. The person was actually blackmailing me, threatening to find out everything about me and telling me he could then use it to ruin my life, all over some information I had with regard to a big storm that was happening here - I wasn't even part of what was going on but I had information that would stop it.

I had never experienced anything like this before and you all know I don't know tech stuff, so I believed him. It was on going leading up to the event and continued during the event, esp when I tried to stop it by 'hinting' and he then sent me some personal information about myself that isn't anywhere online!
You can imagine .............. in reality he had gotten a tiny bit right and the rest of it wrong, but, in my state of mind, the fact that he'd 'guessed' anything right was 'proof' that he could do what he said -

At this point I was so scared I spoke to someone here about it who did some checking of their own and was able to put my mind at rest and actually gave me some information about the person, lol.

So, yes, it can get bad. This time nothing did happen, I blocked him from skpye and from here and he disappeared after the incident.

The reason I mention context at all is because, like you said, 'if left unchecked' - 'if it escalates', hence a record of harassment, you can't expect Jorb to deal with a million and one kids sending him pm's of ppl on skype saying 'I'm gonna kidnap your puppy'!

LOL at this, I remember someone posting this in a chat when raging about 2 years ago.

I'm keeping what Anton said to me off the forums. I'll take it to the appropriate channels and that is all there is to it. In game revenge is different than real life threats
