Discussion Have you ever been stalked online?

[Paul Phoenix]

Has anyone had any experience being stalked online?

 

[zoldos]

Like cyber stalking? It happened to me once a long time ago. Only pathetic POS people do that stuff.

 

[Paul Phoenix]

I’ve had a similar encounter.

 

[zoldos]

I'm sorry, The guy that stalked me would Google my screen name then make fake accounts everywhere I was a member just to harass me. He even admitted he was going to "delete me" when he was a co-admin of an old site I use to run. I've never allowed co-admins ever since and even to this day if I get a weird comment, I'll still think it's him.

 

[Paul Phoenix]

I’m sorry to hear that.

I totally called out and obliterated my stalker publicly in a blog in 2006. He's never bothered me since.

I think that would be enough to put me off from social media and forums for life.. ?

It just seems totally wrong that people can do things like that and get away with it. Especially when suicides as a result of such things have been in the media spotlight quite recently, you'd think there'd be more help and support available for victims in similar circumstances.

huh, you're lucky he was scared enough to give up totally. ?

I agree. He was apparently a lonely, sad individual who fixated on me. Whatever, that's just an excuse. We worked together for a couple years. Jerk.

I was going to ask if you ever found out why he became like that?

what was his reasoning or cause?

 

[Paul Phoenix]

Just ignore them. Mute them if you can. If they don't know you have muted them, they're likely to try to contact you. But you won't easily see their shit and you won't be informed.

They're arseholes, just looking for attention.

His "friend" told me that after we all got high together (weed), he became terrified I was going to "kill him". It all started after that...

It's hard to do that when he's on every forum I'm on with fake accounts to harass me. He also got a bunch of his asshole friends from a pathetic, perverted forum to make dozens and dozens of accounts on my site, so many, and so many spam posts, that I actually had to shut it down since I couldn't l keep up...

 

[Paul Phoenix]

I have the same problem with an Australian guy who Aries previously banned.

His account on here is Rub.

On an anxiety forum that has unfortunately been left unmoderated, he is spamming my address details and posting my full name, and saying my family ought to die from Covid.

He is certainly demented, I'll say that.

I am in the process of saving up for a civil case against him, which is more so criminal. However, I don't reside in Australia. I'm in Edinburgh, Scotland.

 

[zoldos]

I hope the case goes okay. How much does it cost?

 

[Paul Phoenix]

I really don't know. Lawyers may not want to take on a case if you're international. However, I could save up and hire one in Western Australia. But to be honest, he is just a "WAnker" (a clever mash-up of wanker and Western Australia). Attention is all they're looking for. Some of his more tame videos on YouTube are amusing, like the Sylvester Stallone ones.

Anyway, maybe it's best if we don't talk about James anymore. Trolls are fueled by attention. Sad too, giving this guy's age is supposedly 36. But I mean, okay. Never grow up, I guess.

Yeah. He still floods forums with spam and dodgy remarks about my family. One of the last ones from a few weeks ago involved something about my sister's umbilical cord and my dad's back. Seriously...

My sister actually gave birth today. Congratulations, sis!

Nephew #5.

 

[zoldos]

Cool!! I have 3 nephews and 3 nieces. They are super geniuses. hehe

 

[Paul Phoenix]

Never mind.

 

[zoldos]

Sorry, I have no idea...

 

[Jemcrystal]

Yep. I play Ark Survival Evolved definitely have a stalker wont leave me be. PvE server.
