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.
As to these issues, it's probably been said before but you can press O and use privacy to fiddle around with what's allowed and what not in ways of invitations. Anything else such as other players existing, you'll just have to cope with this being part of everyday MMO life.
Why did this thread turn into a "fight Dental" thread? The topic is the spammer, so let's not let Xean/Xtern1ty, leader of the fleet Xtern1ty, admin of the channel Xtern1ty, derail this thread further. Also: that post violates TOS. Reported.
I would've written a giant post telling you to knock it off, but then I remembered who you are. And I laughed my waaaaaaaaaay-too-tired head off while deleting it all.
But seriously, dude, this thread isn't about you, and if you're going to report someone just do it and move on instead of rubbing it in their faces.
Not that you'll actually take that advice, of course. I mentioned it as a reminder to people who aren't massive sociopaths.
Oh, and Hail Butts, Supreme Lord of all Bored D*cks.
PM me sometime, I'll take on you and as many of your buddies as you like in PVP and I'm not afraid to get absolutely slaughtered as is almost certain. Ought to be fun.
I wasn't going to address the GLARING inaccuracy in this post, but I cannot seem to hold my tongue: Dental does NOT make d*ck jokes. That's well below us.
But seriously, this thread became a flame war real fast and surprisingly, it seems that the usual suspects didn't start it. Any chance we can get a mod to lock this before it get's worse?
I'm actually the worst Dental at PVP, so I'm fairly sure you could easily trounce me, if only for bragging rights that you creamed a Dental.
Having PVEed with Dentals, and harboring no illusions whatsoever about my skill level (I do well enough in PVE but I am reliably slaughtered in PVP), I doubt that very highly.
Bragging rights that I got trounced by a Dental would certainly make my RL buddies laugh at more of my (heavily dramatized) exploits, though.
Also, I saw your website. <sarcasm mode> Classy. Super classy. Love the crazy dictatorship vibe. </sarcasm mode>
Anyway, if the troll that's the actual SUBJECT of this thread has been trying to troll Dental...yeah, that dude's asking for it. He's also kind of pathetic, TBH. I have, as I said above, most of his accounts on ignore, and the only reason I care about him is that I don't like people who f*ck with Olivia and her giveaways. There's little enough untempered altruism in this game as it is, no reason to actively sabotage part of it.
I think we can all agree the PVP scene is pretty dead and has been since roughly the start of LoR - that was a good expansion though, its just that pvpers moved on and gear inflation makes the idea of semi-balanced competitive pvp pretty dead.
That's a bit off topic though.
I would say that we definitely need a snowball themed ground PVP zone though!
What they don't read, they will see. This and much more.

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.
Man, XEAN@XTERN1TY has made it very clear he doesn't want us to refer to him, his channel, XTERN1TY or his fleet, XTERN1TY ever again. But what if I really just wanted to congratulate XEAN@XTERN1TY in his channel, XTERN1TY about how much progress his fleet, XTERN1TY has made over the last few months? XEAN@XTERN1TY is a really stand up guy who does a lot for players in his channel, XTERN1TY and his fleet, XTERN1TY is growing by the, well, week.
Maybe by replying to this post, I can show XEAN@XTERN1TY I mean no personal ill will toward him, his fleet, XTERN1TY or his channel, XTERN1TY.
I am honestly flummoxed as to how anyone could regard Nbreeki as anything but a diligent, dedicated and sincere roleplayer, aspiring to the greatness that Roddenberry envisaged for Star Trek.
I think that it is important to reflect on the fact that he single-handedly arranged a care package of Starfleet Dental members to contribute to your hopelessly broke fleet so that you could afford tribbles et al, to the extent that your top five contributors are all either Starfleet Dental members or their alts. But for Nbreeki, your fleet would probably still be tier 1, if that.
And yet, this is how you repay Nbreeki's largess.
I cannot name names, but nevertheless: For shame, for shame.
Hi Xean of XTERN1TY! You should probably go chill out and enjoy shooting spacemans.
As has been pointed out numerous times the OP's issue was covered in another thread which followed a similar derail and ended up closed. I'm surprised this one is still open at this point, quite frankly.
Funny how every time there's a thread complaining about GM inaction on T&C violations, out come the Dentals to derail it. Defensive, much? Worried you'll get shut down if the GMs suddenly start doing their jobs?

This thread IS being derailed, by lots of different people, and I would like people to stop posting off-topic. Off-topic posts from here on out will be subject to heavy moderation.
The topic, lest anyone has forgotten, is challenge spamming in the Winter Wonderland. Spamming anybody -- in game or in forum -- is not cool. Spamming threads to get them closed is going to backfire horribly if I have anything to say about it.
So, given that, is anyone still experiencing challenge spamming? If you got spammed previously, what did you do about it? No naming of names, please.

What are you talking about? We're just here to respond to...oh, Bluegeek modded out the rant. Welp, guess we're done here. Thanks Bluegeek, nice to have you keeping the forums clean of ToS violations.

Every time someone tries to raise this issue there are people who feel the need to join the thread just to say "Actually, this is all about me" and enlighten us with the long long story of their victimisation. They then accuse other people or groups of people - with no proof - which of course prompts those accused to respond to defend themselves.
The thread then collapses in on itself like a dying star.
To stop challenges from people you don't know, you have to click on the "Social" icon, click on "privacy" and then disable this setting.
I don't know why people feel the need to make the thread about them. You're experienced players. Just tell the OP how to disable challenges and carry on with your day.
Yup, these entire last three pages or so were entirely predictable.
Don't feed the troll, people. Ignore, report, and move on. If you do collect information to try to get them banned, don't tell them that you're doing it.
Now, on the OP's issue. Ignore settings should have been updated, but if not, there's a quick way to change privacy settings--hit O, go to "Team", there's a button marked "privacy" on the right. Click it, change your settings to what you like (for example, to autodecline fleet map invites from non-friend non-fleet people), and hit OK.
Note that this may block fleet map invites, so be sure to turn it off it you're using a public service channel to get to a top-tier fleet map.
Also, when you're ignoring the spammer, REPORT him, too. Write up a short description and if possible go to arcgames.com, find the TOS, and show how the troll is violating TOS. The Devs are already on this dirtbag's case, shouldn't be long now.

Fairness and rule-enforcing is meaningless unless it is upheld equally and it shouldn't be my job to have to point that out.
Apologies bluegeek for my contributions to derailment. Their actions are now public record for all to see. Hopefully next time, you will moderate a thread dedicated directly to the topics I confront daily. If you want to have a private conversation with me to that effect, feel free to do so.

Blocking challenges doesn't change the fact that the troglodytes are impersonating real players and ruining their reputations.

The OP's question wasn't about that issue, that's my point. Start a thread about that issue and you lot can argue among yourselves. How does any of this help the OP with their question?

OK wont reply.
Whatever Xean. Stay classy.

This thread isn't about you and your self-aggrandizing victim complex, Xean.
There's jack sh*t any of us ordinary players can do to "fight" Dental, just take it all with a grain of salt and walk away.
I would've written a giant post telling you to knock it off, but then I remembered who you are. And I laughed my waaaaaaaaaay-too-tired head off while deleting it all.

Stop your naming and shaming, Xean.
EDIT:
And while we're on the subject, stop being hypocritical, Xean.
