Alright guys I figured I would post this as a favor to a fellow rper and friend. A few disclaimers first. 1. We do not have the problem on this site, as far as we know. 2. I ask that you pass it along to other rp sites you may be on as a friendly warning to other rpers.
This is a very important message to all my facebook friends who do RP on different RP sites. Please read this, and if this has happened to you, please report this to your admins on their site. This has happened to me before and how it makes sense. This message was sent to me by a friend and it was a message written by our admin, and I believe this is important for everyone who RP's to read this:
Members of RPG,
There is a man that keeps returning to our site who is dangerous, unstable and very persistent. He is currently still making accounts to contact girls (usually by pm or vm). Many of you may have been contacted already and if so please report those messages to us. He contacts a significant number of people in the time it takes us to find the new accounts; under no circumstances should you respond to him. If anyone PM's you out of nowhere asking for your skype info (usually claiming it's because they want to RP or "be friends") do not respond and DO report them, especially if their account is new. It is not a bother to us at all and will only take us a moment to check, so don't think your case is probably not worth our time. Reporting him not only protects you, but everyone else he may have or will contact. We've learned that he's been using the site for at least a month and a half, though only in the last few days has it really become apparent what's been happening, so if you have an old pm of a similar nature, send it to us as well. The more reports, the more evidence.
I've spent the last 2 days finding as much info as I can and speaking with people who know how to proceed, legally, in this matter. Steps are being taken but we need to protect you, and you need to do your part to protect yourselves, in the meantime. He hasn't been discouraged from making accounts and we can only ban them as we find them. There's been one in the last few hours that we know of. It is very serious and should not be made light of, this is a person who I've discovered has been doing this for five years on other websites. He plays to sympathies, kindness and the loneliness of young girls and women to get them to do what he wants, and when they do he proceeds to destroy their lives. He is active on many roleplay websites and extremely determined in his efforts once he's received a response. Other users have blocked and attempted to hide from him, but he finds ways around this. Generally he doesn't have any posts and sticks exclusively to pm's. His spelling and punctuation is also not the greatest, but should not be used as a solid identifier. Do not think you can handle him yourself if you're being harassed by this person, let us help you. We're here to keep you safe, not to judge.
I don't know yet if I should post his usernames or info, it can be damaging for a few reasons and I wouldn't want to do anything that could worsen the situation. So for now this is what I have to share, and the staff would appreciate it very much if you could pass it along to your friends and fellow roleplayers.
As I stated this is not a problem on our current site and we just ask you to pass it along as a precautionary measure. We are all here to have fun and not to worry about stuff like this.
