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.

It is horrible to hear your story. Share the person's name on here and I can guarantee the real men of this place will bombard the administrators with messages that we do not want anyone on here subjected to that behaviour or who would subject anyone to that behaviour!

@Zeusdelight I’m trusting the admins, they have helped me this far. I don’t want to start a vigilante campaign…I just want to feel safe again
@SW-User Ah, I was only suggesting reporting to the administrators. Not a general attack on an individual. I agree with you, vigilantism is no good no matter how justified people feel, they do not have all the evidence. However, the administrators would be able to look at all the evidence and judge an appropriate response.
I am just so sorry this happened to you.

@Zeusdelight Nuno has seen all of the evidence and has been banning the alt accounts and restricting all access
