Ok, so I owe this guy in my old Guild 1200 Ce. Then I left because they were asking too much info about me. Now another is threatening to hack me/send porn magazines to my house if I don't pay him back 3600 CE!!! What should I do? I really am not asking for this. Now he is sending a ton of bad words at me. He won't stop! I have already paid the guy 600, but that leaves me 3000!! Can a admin help me?
Old guildmate threatening me.
I didn't even owe the guy 1200. He just gave it to me, the way of the guild is to not ask for anything back. The other guy knew, then he was demanding 3600 CE, he knows where I live AND my name.
Report him for Harassment would probably be the best action here. He's threatening that if you don't give him triple the cost, he'll hack you.
EDIT: Just saw that he knows where you live... I suggest what the guy below me just said.
Odd. He is cyberbullying. He is causing panic, so report him ingame, then if you know his name, report him to somthing outside of the game.
Why would you even tell him your full name and your whereabouts?
1) Move
2) Pay him back the 1200ce
3) Hire a security guard
4) Hire a hit man you can find them on craigslist
5) Tell your parents
6) Quit Spiral Knights
7) Enjoy the porn he mails you
8) Learn how to ride a bike
9) Learn how to fly
10) Make a Divine Avenger in real life and use it on him
I think you have a lot of options good luck.
He knows my IP ect. I never told him this stuff.
If I reported him he would still send me the porn. Please, I need help. Also reporting needs more than one to ban. :/ Help.
@storm
Just use a proxy server, your neighbor will get very surprised about getting the porn you were supposed to have...heh heh
does not equal your home address. You would have to tell him your home address, or have it posted online somewhere, and use stormwillcome as you internet handle somewhere else online.
The only thing knowing your IP can do is to let him try to access your PC. Also, unless you gave him your IP, it is unlikely that he actually knows it. My advice is to report him, and advise your parents of the threat. I would strongly advise not giving out such personal details on the internet, in the future.
To summarize, to find out your address from you IP, they would need a warrant, and then your service provider could release your address to them. A warrant would only be issued if there was probable cause that a crime was committed. Feel free to ask your service provider to change your IP. Report this guy, and put him on ignore.
*Poke, Poke, Poke, Poke, Poke*
What's the Guild, What's the Guild, What's the Guild, What's the Guild, What's the Guild...
but sadly, he can't name them *cough PM *cough* please *cough*
You don't have to payback anything if they just gave it to you.
Your IP does not carry any RL infos.
Report him ingame and be happy.
End of Story :)
Questions:
Do you live in a state that follows the castle doctrin (I do)?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_doctrine
Do they know your full name?
Why do you hate free porn?
Sounds like bluffing to me. Also, again unless they are serious hackers, IP would only put them with in a few miles of your house. At which point what are the odds that they are going to pull a Jay & Silent-Bob, fly over, and go door to door asking for "Stormwillcome"? I guess if they had your full name though they could find you if your parent's address is listed in the phonebook (phonebooks are ancient relics that your ancestors used to find address and phone numbers before the invention of the internet).
You should be reporting this abuse to OOO, who might do some banning if the chat logs confirm your story.
Pretty sure extortion is a violation of TOS...
Lol. How old are you? Don't answer that.
If you ask him if he REALLY knows. He will say yes. Also, he probably doesn't know your real name unless he is calling you by it.
One more note. If you want OOO on your side you should remove the names from the above post, because naming and shaming is against SK forum rules.
You're not allowed to post names on the forums. aka "Name and Shame" or "Shame the Name?"
You should edit your post and get rid of the names.
Also, listen to the advice everyone has given you.
Except Njthug......well maybe the 10th one was good.
Hope you get this issue resolved.
The one and only, Guardianknight
EDIT: Dang it Blue you beat me to it XD
but seriously, I would remove the names.
first, remove the names from the post
then, report him, and report him to the guild master there, if he's in that guild anyway, maybe apologize for leaving randomly like that also
next, set him to your ignore list, just use /ignore if you can't click his name anywhere
move on, start a new life, new name, don't tell people stuff like that anymore, join a new guild, and hope they don't find you again
best of luck :P
First off, I removed the names.
Second he IS a Guild Master,
Third, I have spent 20$ just in the game. That's a lot. :/ I won't start again. Just the first 2.
w8 the person who is harrasing u the GM cause he might be lieing most likely, GM do not act that way if they did they would be fired, ALSO Wtf?
The guy is bluffing. Simple solution: /ignore (whatever his name is). No more problems. Don't even bother giving him back the CE.
Mastersleety, you're thinking of Game Masters. Storm was saying that the person responsible for harassing him is a Guild Master, and there isn't really a way to fire them tbh.
I don't have much advice to add except IRONY, and also to report to the actual Game Masters if it continues... although leaving a guild is somewhat impolite, asking for a gift back is even more impolite, especially so if they ask for interest on it.
(Unless it was a loan, in which case their actions were a bit more understandable.)
also also please forward all porn received to myself
pretty much all you're really going to get from this point on is report/ignore the guy, and move on, so there's not really all that much left to add
and P.S. that "start new" more implied try to get some other friends and guild you can trust to run with that won't bug you like that again :P I'm sure you could find one you like from here on the forums
He does not know your i.p address (A hacker can hack your IP address if it's static but most IP addresses are dynamic meaning you get an IP address from you Internet provider every time you log in and they route everything to you), he has no claim to any CE, put him on the ignore list and put in a complaint, add me to your friends list.
also, if you are worried, go here http://www.grc.com/su-firewalls.htm click "services" then "shieldsUP!" click "proceed" under the first (blue) box then click "all service ports" let it run.
If he was a l337 h4x0r he would have already stolen soemthing from you or cause some other kind of trouble.
All i know he's just mumbling random words but hasnt done anything to prove his skills.
@Melisan
I'm really not trying to fuel the false notion that this guy is going to show up or send things to this kids doorstep, but you idea of IPs is not completely accurate. Yes most home users do have dynamic IPs that are subject to change, but no they do not change every time you login. I have ran game servers & voice servers on a spare computer at my house for many years and I can say that in the case of Comcast & AT&T U-verse, these dynamic IPs tend to stay the same. My IP only changed once while I was with Comcast and it has not changed yet since I switched to U-verse about 4 years ago. I am talking about my external IP, the one I give to friends to join my server and not my internal IPs the one my router sends game server traffic to.
IPs are not very difficult for novice to come up with, but it would take a much higher level of sophistication to then track that IP down to a home address.
if ur underaged u talk to ur parents
if ur adult u go to the police
And the Police can do... What, exactly? They have no jurisdiction over the internet. Unless you alert the Cyber Police and the State Police, but then consequences will never be the same.
But maybe you can Backtrace it. Or tell him he done goofed.
It varies between ISP's. I have never had any contact with Comcast or AT&T as I'm in the UK.
Anyway, it doesn't matter and this thread should be sent to the graveyard.
These are the options on my mind!
1) go get Assasins creed, learn some moves, and kill him! Or just hire an assasin...
2) throw out the porn and or donate it to your school/library.
3) report him to ur guild, the SK GMs, the police, or better, YOUR PARENTS LOL.
4) bro, get a new computer so he cant hack you.
5)get a badass Sentenza and pwn him in the face with it.
6)ignore the porn
I find it hilarious that you and Njthug have the same avatar and gave similar kinds of advice. Was that on purpose?
But as for relevent advice, don't worry, go with Iron's advice, and Ignore him and anyone else giving you grief. the odds are against him actually being able to do a damn thing to you, IP or no.
Basically, my opinion of the situation in regards to this player;
@Njthug I support option #7. >.O (It's supposed to be a wink face, but screw it)
If he is harassing you in game, ignore and report him to the GMs.
If he is harassing you in real life, report him to the authorities if he is making serious threats besides free porn.
Just do what everyone else says and You'll be fine.
Who complains about free porn !?!?
I mean I guess if it was some weird fetish stuff, but even then it is free.
Are you sure you did not misunderstand him? Maybe he was trying to sell you porn on a subscription basis?
Just because somebody is a GM does not mean they can't be kicked. If he is the founder that is a different case but i kinda don't think that he is.
"throw out the porn and or donate it to your school/library."
Grammatical error: you cannot both throw something out and donate it to the library. You can only do one or the other; therefore, you should not have said and or. Just or.
>send porn magazines to my house if I don't pay him back 3600 CE!!!
Free porn? And you complain about this!?
Pay him what you ow him (the 1200, not the 3600) and then proceed to /ignore him, case closed.
Also nobody can "hack you" unless your password is ridiculously unsafe, or you told your password to someone else.
^ I c wat u did there.
hurr hurr hurr hurr hurr
Edit: Damn you Tantarian!
Was meant for the post above you. :p
Also, everyone in this thread is giving you terrible advice.
This is the sensible path to take.
1) Tell him to $%#@ himself.
2) Give him your real address and tell him to bring it on.
3) Send him nudes as an act of desperate provocation.
4)Pay him 5k CE and ask if you could marry him.
5)Tell him you'd like to have a loving chaste relationship with his mother.
6)Solo vanaduke irl make him your best friend hack Spiral knights make everyone in Spiral knights apart of your army hack his IP track his adress mark a trip for california for vacation and take your army go bankrupt go to his house and throw a slumber party.
^I quite literally lol'd. Slumber parties: the ultimate payback.
porn magazines
Ugh. I can't imagine anything more uninspired. You can find better stuff on the internet for free.
Aaaaaand now Coatl.
Seriously, I cant be the only one noticing all of the posts with lists of dubious advice have the same avatar?!
@Maeko
Nonsense.
As for OP:
1) Learn to bake good pies
2) Bake the most delicious pie
3) Give it to your stalker
4) Enjoy pie bromance
5) Use the porn magazines and bad words together
iuno what the police will do, but definitely something more useful than these forums
Actually, there's been some good advice mixed in here. And the police can do nothing and might even consider a request for their help in this situation laughable (I know I would). Therefore, we can infer that in this case, the police would be less useful than this forum. Chances are that this guy is just trying to swindle the OP and really has no information whatsoever. Unless, of course, the OP gave the information. If that's the case, dude what the heck were you thinking?!?
Anyway, Storm, if you're not just attempting to troll (and if you are, I feel I must inform you that you're doing it wrong), I would suggest having this fool prove to you that he knows this. If he doesn't really, you have no problem.
LOLOLOL
This thread has been invaded by Njthug's personal alt army (or clones not sure...)
Leaving a guild without paying your debts isn't really a praisable action, but if the guy's cussing and making threats then you should just report him.
