WILL YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ******* PLAYER BEFORE I ******* LOSE IT.
Jesus christ this has been going on all ****** event SORT IT OUT, ignoring should ignore that player completely INCLUDING not accepting invites.
SORT IT OUT NOW.
I guess I've been lucky... I haven't had a single issue. Perhaps it is because my timezone is vastly different than PST. At any rate, I only want the T6 carrier and I am 1 race away from it, which I will finish tonight. I have my cryro warpcore and epohs so after tonight I will have no reason to reaturn to Q's WW until next year...
Well today, minutes ago, the troll was a fake (hopefully) member of a fake St Olivia fleet. Some of us switched to klinks to snowball the troll to push it out from the gazebo (instance #38), and while it was working, the troll vanished, so it could be either that the troll noticed and logged out or got banned. I'm not sure who St Olivia have kicked recently, but they sure are miffed to go to the trouble of creating a char and a fleet purely to troll St Olivia...
So, a plea to the Fleet of St Olivia, if you know the person, and all of their alts, then please let STO know, hopefully that troll will get uber punished and lose verything.
Well, Don. Seeing as how that is exactly what they ask for, I think they might give it a glance.
Why are you using his real name to argue with him? Are you DOXXing? If I knew where the report button was on this clunky forum software I'd report you.

We can say the same about you, copying someone else's forum picture, partly because it's a real picture of someone. Thankfully in these well maintained forums, I don't need a report button, I know exactly who to talk to when someone pulls such nonsense.

Olivia's avatar. The first person using it may be a guy irl, and may be using the girls picture without her permission.
And trolls are trying to derail threads about the guy doing this challenge spam by continually trying to bait people into arguing about Olivia's avatar.
I'm not sure how the person whose pic that is will ever find out that people are using her photo on this website.
Right, so anyone who doesn't agree with you for whatever reason is a "fanboy"... :rolleyes:
One thing they can't fix is stupidi, which is what anyone is who doesn't make use of the tools available to them to prevent themselves from getting spammed.
So, you're saying that the people who made the game have no control over the files in the user account system? Do I have that right?
This isn't a matter of "can't". It's a matter of "won't".

had this challenge spam happen to me for all of 10 minutes before i decided to change the social settings for challenges, not a peep since. rather a shame really that someone goes to such lengths to drive people to adjust their settings for what purpose is unclear. i dont expect cryptic to take this seriously in the sense it would be solved quickly, but rather because its only a few weeks long as far as an event goes that its a low priority case. could be wrong, but why invest such resources into something that will be gone in a few weeks from now anyways with another 50 weeks behind it without issue?
perfect excuse to get the brush and lift the carpet then sweep it under.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
I just keep zone chat closed in the winter wonderland, I have the troll's accounts on ignore (the Esteban mimics and I think a couple of the Olivia mimics) and I just try not to annoy Dental.
I don't think this guy's with Dental (Dental's style is more harmless, refined, and funny, rather than outright, juvenile harassment), but better safe than sorry.
BTW, Nabreeki, if you ever feel like ROFLstomping me in-game sometime, invite me to a ground PVP. I'd love to be able to say that I got beaten by a legend like you in a fair fight. Something to tell my buddies.
I mean, I have some pretty good gear, but I know damn well that a Dental will kill me in seconds.
Dental are annoying a lot of the time, sure. They're textbook sociopaths with way too much time on their hands, sure.
But they know the game like the backs of their hands, they do actually help people (at least when they're playing KDF side--probably because KDF is more mature overall), and frankly you're making yourself a REALLY easy target.
Rule #1 about trolls is DON'T provoke them without real power to back it up. I have seen and experienced this rule time and time again in many, many MMOs. I could tell you horror stories about WoW...
If you're a Mod? You can tell whoever you like to go f*ck themselves and there's jack sh*t that they can do. But you're not a mod, you're just another player. And that means that you have EXACTLY as much power as each individual Dental; maybe less, because they have elite computer skills like most trolls.
Get a Dental banned? He's going to come right back on another account. Call a Dental names? Try to stop ESD from being quite so insane? Say that you're going to get a Dental banned? That's ASKING for it.
As players, our best, nay only, defense against Dental is to not take it too seriously. Laugh at them when they do something dumb but funny. Ignore them when they're bored enough to pick a fight. If they breach TOS like the numbnuts the OP mentioned, report and wait for the Hammer of Geko to IP range-ban them.
I play that way. It works pretty well. Never been attacked by Dentals yet.
Plus, Dental isn't all pure Chaotic Evil all the time. Hell, I can say firsthand from the Club 47 re-opening that Dental throws some awesome parties. NoP Public Service is, like it or not, the best, most helpful public service channel in-game. I did a STF with a Dental once, he shot just about every single Bajoran in old UIE with a phaser set to kill; I had to step away from my computer to laugh at one point. Best 15 or so marks I've ever wasted.
I joined shortly after F2P, started really getting into it once LoR dropped and I made my current main, and I have to say that I've laughed or rolled my eyes at 99% of the stuff Dental's done. The TRIBBLE imagery was tasteless and IMHO over the line, yes, and the JHAS destruction video was too provocative, but Dental stays pretty scrupulously within the TOS and doesn't engage in active harassment, just generally being mildly annoying.
I'm not defending Dental's more d*ckish moves, they'll get what's coming to them now that the Mods and devs are tired of their antics, but there is simply no POINT in "taking the fight to Dental" or anything like that. It's foolhardy, futile, and generally asking for Dental to tear you a new one.
And, to be brutally honest, you're kind of being a d*ck, too. Dental are d*cks, but they also do some genuinely nice things, like NoP Public Service. You do some similarly nice things, but you also annoy me and others by waving around your "victories" over Dental, giving some frankly rather bad advice to newbies (the torp-cannon DD build is hypothetically workable, but definitely not for a new or even moderately experienced player), and playing a MASSIVE victim card. I'm not even going to go into the absolutely ridiculous war between the various public service channels now because I'm frankly exhausted and I don't want to get drawn into an argument.
My advice to you is to simply ignore everything Dental throws at you, while collecting as much data as possible, and then offer the raw data and an excerpted "greatest hits" list to the Devs. If you run into them in ESD, simply start the Gorn jokes or a bit of light-hearted and thoroughly out-of-universe RP. I had a joke about Ba'al (because someone recognized me as the "Ba'al guy" from the forums) that went on for a good half-hour once. It started in the middle of a political debate between a Communist and two right-wing sorts, and fortunately drowned out the inane political babble.
And let's not forget that the troll the OP brought up isn't Dental. I actually accepted one of his bridge invites before I realized what was going on, and he was part of a different fleet, with one character on his account from what I could glean from Gateway. Plus, his MO isn't a Dental MO. Dental would smoke-bomb the guy they don't like over and over, talk hyperbolic smack about them in ESD zone, and make a few TRIBBLE or d*ck jokes. The troll that the OP brought up, who seems to have been operating for months in various channels, is engaging in blatantly TOS-violating harassment; Dental is more subtle and immature.
In conclusion, you're derailing this thread and making yourself one giant magnet for trolls, and to be honest it's kind of getting annoying. On top of that, I make a point of NOT associating with anyone outside of my circle of friends and my fleet with any regularity; you and Dental are both not on that list. Please do not claim that I am in any way affiliated with you, or with Dental, as I am not. I refuse to affiliate myself with serial trolls (although I may find them occasionally amusing, as I do Dental), just as I do not wish to be affiliated with someone who wars with trolls (although, to be fair, I will note that public service channels are always a good thing in any MMO, and you've done a decent job keeping yours active). I like my in-game life quite well as it is.
tl;dr: Calm down, take a look at your own actions, and do please stop trying to turn this "war" of yours with Dental into some sort of victory. Because Dental are bored sociopaths with too much time on their hands, and there's really no way to deal with them but to ignore them, laugh if they say or do something genuinely amusing, and report them to the Powers that Be if they violate TOS or otherwise engage in borderline behavior.
Also, dude, it's just a game. It's not real. Dental has internalized that fact, which is part of what gives them their power. I recommend that you do so as well.
Do not reply to this post. I insist you never refer to me or my fleet. Please do not say my name, or speak to me, or send anyone else to do so - ever; in game, in the forums or anywhere else.
But you know what? I guess it doesn't matter now does it? By being allowed to visit their studios Cryptic has pretty much signed off on you and your fleet haven't they? They've said in deed what most of us have suspected for years. They're not going to stop you. They're not going to correct you. You won. After long last, you really, really won. STO is yours and no one is going to do a thing about it. Congratulations.
Do not reply to this post. I insist you never refer to me or my fleet. Please do not say my name, or speak to me, or send anyone else to do so - ever; in game, in the forums or anywhere else.
Ok I will not reply to your post.
Actually you realise this is a public forum and you have no right to dictate what other people can and cannot do like a little tyrant?

Saint Olivia invite spam is taking the TRIBBLE, sort it out.

got the name of the troll Saint Olivia.@olivia21l Saint Olivia Fleet and even got a screen shot of the troll
Before you suffer a stroke or something, did you disable PvP invites in your Privacy options? No you didn't. Maybe you should.

and miss out on STF invites because the option to accept them is off.
I shouldnt have to, when you ignore someone it should block all communication period.

Without naming & shaming, can someone confirm there was a ban?
i don't see how any of those posts were related to the annoying invite bug though.
