I love this place, the people, the fun…and feeling like I belong in this community. Now I need this community to help me.
A couple of days ago someone came into my DMs for harmless conversation…this quickly turned very dark and nasty. I was threatened and blackmailed - they were going to spread all over the internet how much of a dirty slut I am, doctored screenshots as their proof. They were blackmailing me to send them nude photos in exchange for being left alone. They harassed me from multiple accounts.
What made this whole ordeal worse for me (and possibly why I acted differently to others who may have just ignored the threats) is that as a young teenager I was groomed and abused online over a 2 year period. This brought back horrific memories for me and left me absolutely terrified. I stupidly tried to reason with the troll who used my trauma to laugh at me and mock me.
I took a break as this place was no longer safe to me, it was tainted with my trauma and I was fearful of who is hiding in the shadows. I can’t thank Nuno enough for acting quickly and helping to take care of the problem, and my friends for their continued support.
I don’t want this evil bastard to drive me away from a place I love. He can only win and have power over me if I let him…but I need your help.
Please if anyone sees any posts, photos or screenshots targeting me just flag and report them. If it happens in DMs do the same thing.

I doubt there's anything to worry about in messages unless you think they can hack your personal info. Last weirdo in message I called 'her' out (some people claim it wasn't an actual female ... idk)
She blocked me as soon as I called her out on the open board and a couple hours later they were kicked off

@Disney people can create screenshots and images to be as humiliating or incriminating as they want them to be…this was a real shock to me. I just hope enough people have got to know me that they would see through anything like that
@SW-User Someone is trying to share a pic with me now in message even after I said I wasn't interested. It's blurry and I could click on it, but have no interest.
