Nothing has changed since the Turkish Moderation Team promised to handle the situation after I closed the thread I made, in which I talked about what I've been going through in the game. People who have been messing with me kept going on with their homophobic remarks, and even threatening me, all of which led to my mental health declining upon the mistreatment I have to go through every time I get on. As the chatting system is a big part of the game, both in-game chat, whispers, the cafe and the forums, no matter how many times I used the /ignore command like I was instructed to by the Turkish staff, these people somehow kept reaching out to me, and using the command to ignore them did not give me peace of mind, as I still knew that every time I ended up in the same public rooms as them, they would be talking shit about me. This did not stop with just homophobic comments and mere threats, in fact, these people somehow gathered information on me such as my personal photos, the university that I attend to and the city I live in, and now they are threatening to leak all of this information. Now, I am seriously being threatened with being stabbed in real life. While all of these events kept unfolding as these people got more and more dangerous, the Turkish Moderator called Ceku used the victim-blaming card, saying that it is simply my fault to be going to the same public rooms as those people who are a danger to my life, as if my choice to play in, let's say, any public survivor room, is what brought me all of this trouble. All I can say is that this "consolation" did more bad than good, as I grew to feel worse and worse every day I played this game. After the thread was closed because the Staff and I reached some common ground, the threats and the hateful comments kept getting worse, upon which I tried to contact the Staff on Discord multiple times for help. When I found out that the Staff went out of their way to tell Matza, one of the community managers if not only of our time, that I am using this situation to my benefit somehow, and that I exploit my entire identity and my sexuality to get people to be mean to me, I found myself at a complete loss, since I could no longer put my trust in the game and the moderation team any longer. I would like to add that you cannot put a band-aid on hate speech by instructing the victim to use the ignore command, and the moderation team should acknowledge that as a fact. Just because you are not seeing it, doesn't mean that people are not going around violating your personal rights and humiliating you, even doxxing you, and the fact that the Staff thinks it all goes away if it's not seen is one of the most ridiculous ideas I've ever heard. In this day and age, in countries like Turkey where LGBTI+ people still have no legal representation or protection against discrimination by the state, all we have are these online platforms where our voices wouldn't be silenced. It falls under Atelier801's responsibility to provide for this platform and safety regulations to ensure a safe and secure place for players, maybe as young as 13. It is essential for the mental wellbeing of one, as not everyone takes such issues the same way. I would like the Staff to acknowledge, track down and banish these people who have been making my life a living hell at once, since people that bring you trouble in real life are far worse than some mere hacker who goes first in the hole than someone else does. I made this thread not only to tell the Turkish staff on an international platform to have my voice heard, but also because my other thread was denied to be reopened by the EN Sentinel Team, as the TR Staff was given a notice by Matza to tell me to change my name and the rooms I play in to ensure my own safety, which is the worst precaution method I've ever heard. Instead of putting me under pressure since I am already going through this bullshit, put my perverted stalkers under control, which has, consequently, become Matza's responsibility, as no one else will lift a finger.

Sounds like the guys who are harassing you are the typical insecure attentionwhores (pardon my language). I think the mod team thinks the same way and tells you to ignore them so you take away exactly what they want; attention. However this doesn't excuse the fact that they don't ban or IP ban these people for the constant harassing. I'm sorry you have to go through this nonsense caused by immature idiots. |

Unfortunately, neither the players nor sentinels on the forums are able to help you with this. If you have any issue with staff members or moderation, please contact our community manager Matza by sending her a forum message here - she usually checks her messages within a few days. Also please note that if you wish to report the behavior of other players, staff cannot ban based on a player's word, such as what you've written in this thread, or even screenshots as those can be easily edited. The best evidence would be reporting them in-game at the time that they break the rules. |
