I think the inability to block unwanted map invites is a pretty glaring omission from their privacy options. Adding someone to your ignore list should prevent them from sending you an invite of any kind, as well. Those are things Cryptic should address.
However, I fail to see how this is comparable to real-life threats in any way. Spending too much time in ESD zone chat doesn't make you some kind of public figure, that's just silly. I'm sorry you're being harassed in a video game, but until and unless the privacy options get strengthened, your best option is to simply report the offender(s) to a GM and try to ignore them. I am certain that complaining in a thread like this will only worsen the problem.
However, you do keep responding so I think you do care to some extent. As to why, I do not know and it's not my business. If you don't like what we are trying to do, feel free to leave the conversation anytime you like.
His in-game, bush-league trolling isn't getting him the attention he craves.
Okay, I think I know where this is going. Bye, Nabreeki.
Good idea Olivia.
Probably a good plan not to get side-tracked rising to people looking to create one problem out of another and focus on the problem affecting you and your fleet.
I haven't checked this thread since last night, but I have been talking about it with a few people in game today.
Very saddened to read tha this clown-shoe is still aggravating you :mad:
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
Sorry to interrupt your obviously quite well performed, and most admirably theatrically styled, self-praise session here, however, you seem to be "caring" about a Star Trek game.
Might I suggest that a break is in order, perhaps to take short stroll to enjoy the crisp winter air, or to cherish a spiced festive tea?
Take a break and leave. Is this what Dental does when they are being trolled?
If the people or the fleet of Starfleet Dental was being accused of being trolls, or there reputation was being drug through the mud. what have you done in the past?
We are not talking about someone that sets off a disco ball and leaves. We are talking about harassment that has gone on for a week and is ongoing.
If you are so bothered by this thread, take your own advice.
Go out side.

Sorry, but you're implying that educated people aware that the world outside exists are capable of being trolled without having a good laugh along with the joke, and you seem to have missed my earlier post giving a "troll" perspective.
While I am aware that reading comprehension is not a skill the general publican can be expected to possess, do go back and give it a read if you will, as I am certain it might help you, surely being an educated man, comprehend the current state of this thread and happenenings within it.
As to "harrassment", if it qualifies as such under the TOS I am certain it has been reported and handled, therefore rendering this entire thread of drama and sympathy seeking quite unneccessary.
Perhaps that might be why it is currently subject to mockery, or why it serves as a source of great amusement to myself at this time?
I never played the "girl card." The situation goes beyond sex. Also, you are obviously unaware of where the "Saint Olivia" name comes from. It was given to me by a friend so I created the character as a way of honoring them.
As I have said many, many times on my site, the giveaway is not about me. It is about the community. Even if I stopped doing the giveaway, It would be nice if another decent person picked up where I left off. Saint Olivia is not a person so much as it is an idea. It is an idea that the community can be better. It shows that there are good and decent people beyond the few trolls that come into the game and try to TRIBBLE all over everyone's good time.
If you think I am so full of myself that I think this is all about me, you're very mistaken. This is why I make sure to name all the donors each time they donate. I have said it over and over that while I may be the face of the giveaway, it is the donors that keep it going.
This is about community. This is about second chances and having faith in people. This is exactly why I didn't buy into all the stuff that had and has been said about you and your fleet. I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I think even though certain fleets have bad reps, I am sure there are some good people there that want to just login and play the game to have some fun.
When people are constantly spamming you, impersonating you, scamming people in the game, everything becomes less fun.
Do I really have to explain this to you?
As far as Trollgate and Gamergate comparisons, yes. They can be seen in similar ways. If you really think of it, why on earth is my gender an issue here? It seems that others have brought this up way before I said anything. It is not hard to see how the two can be looked at as the same. If you can't see that, there is little I can do about it.
now this guy is using a mockname of Olivia and sending massive fleet/team/friends requests just to warn you Olivia

I read your post, and just reread it. That is why I tried to stress the difference between some party poppers and ongoing harassment.
I myself have disco balls in my inventory and have used them, I do not spam them on one person for days at a time.
Nether of you answered the question I put forth. What did you do?
When someone was impersonating you, or your fleet, did you laugh and walk away? Was it so bad you could not play the game? Or did you tell people what was happening?

Your question was answered in several previous posts, either directly or answers could be taken from the context.
If Druk is still reading this thread, I'm just curious as to the status of the items he donated for the giveaway? Can you fill us in?
I believe a few of the items were returned after roughly a week and a half's time and several public incidents including one that began to escalate in an embarrassing fashion for the "Saint".
The fate of the rest of the items of course is unknown, I believe some excuse along the lines of "misplaced" was used.

I knew this issue would try to be used against me at some point...so I recorded myself sending all this stuff back. And it was not a week and a half. It was the very next day. Sounds like you are making things up. Now I am sure who the mystery troll(s) is.
It's been on youtube since it all happened in September. He asked me to push an agenda without telling me the particulars. I did not feel comfortable with that so I told him I would not do it and sent his items back. You can see the vid here.
No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.

Don't bother. No matter what, they'll still find a way to troll you. Like "some items are missing" or whatever.
Some people are just sharks, they smell blood in the water and they come circling around.

Was this his Foundry challenge?
'cause there are several reasons why that went over like a lead balloon.
I believe that everything was returned eventually.
But I went from liking "Saint Olivia" quite a bit to not liking "Saint Olivia" very much at all.
"The great thing about an agreement or contract in Texas is that you have 72 hours where you can change your mind" was the explanation I got for why our agreement had not been fulfilled. I was not impressed by that explanation, even a little bit.
Anyway, in the grand scheme, it was no-harm no-foul except for wasted time and disappointment in one's fellow man.
Well, there you have it. All cleared up.
Amazing what video proof can do for an argument.
No, I am not who you think I am. I am someone different. I am instead a banana.
So back on topic, I have updated my ticket with more info for them. I am thinking that the holiday weekend had some people off so hopefully I can get a response by Monday.

Glad Olvia is back to clear things up for us. On to the next question: Why do you think it's ok to take pictures from facebook and claim they are yours?
It's probably as ok as having fake quotes in a signature. For example, my avatar is not a picture of myself, since I'm not Robert Picardo. I hope nobody was offended.

I'm sure they are treating your continuous ticket updates with the level of attention they deserve.
Did the original poster receive an answer for his query before this thread was hijacked by someone whose pathological need for attention apparently can no longer be satisfied by Zone Chat?
You're standing up for this? For stealing someone's else's likeness?
Welcome to STO, where disco is a serious real world crime and being on the internet makes you famous.
Anyways, back to you Olivia, two things:
First, that video only serves to show that you did return the items, I was admittedly mistaken on you having withheld some, however, this fails entirely to address that that only happened after repeat public incidents relating to what was being done with said items, or to what has happened to other items others have donated to you in the past for these "giveaways".
It also fails to prove or validate any other point you have attempted to bring up at any point throughout this thread, which is slowly becoming little more than another attention seeking effort on your part, one in which you grasp at every possible straw to stave off the exposure of what was long ago established: That you are little more than a fraud, admittedly a halfway decent one, but still a fraud.
All in all, "trolling" as addressed by you thus far seems to constitute issuing challenge to your (at times obviously false) word or action in any way, shape, or form. I would classify this as criticism and a personal inability to deal with such and not "trolling".
Should this truely be so crushing to be unable to stand to your own actions and their consequences, I recommend yet again that my earlier post be read, the one pertaining to interactions with others and their perceptions or outcomes.
Secondly, does this invidual you have stolen this photo and identity from at least know that you are doing so or will they one day wake up to a hoard of angry STO publicans with torches and pitchforks?

Naming and shaming... You know the rules. If Druk have an issue with Olivia, he can use ingame mail, or PM, or even GM if needed.

As for the topic at hand, I hope something can be done to resolve it.
