I genuinely didn’t want to make this public.
I blocked him.
I stopped replying.
I tried ignoring everything and hoped eventually he would get bored and move on.
Instead, the harassment continued almost daily.
More bounties.
More taunting.
More attempts to provoke reactions.
And honestly, what finally pushed me into making this post was realizing that no matter how calmly or respectfully I tried to handle the situation, it changed absolutely nothing.
I even tried asking him directly what his actual problem with me was before filing a report because despite everything, I still wanted to believe there was at least some rational explanation behind the behavior.
This was the conversation:
“Because I am a nice human I said to ask before I file a report, so what is your drive?”
“Your behaviour is weird for a stable human being so I presume you are unstable mentally… or what makes you bounty me on cooldown after I blocked you?”
His response?
“Go report.”
So I asked again what the actual issue was.
And the answer I got was:
“I was busy putting bounty on u 😃”
Then followed by:
“I dont read long stuf”
That was it.
No misunderstanding.
No actual reason.
Just somebody openly admitting they spend their time repeatedly targeting someone who already blocked them because they enjoy doing it.
And on top of that, he constantly keeps trying to publicly call me “a boy” every chance he gets — not because he believes it, but because he’s frustrated that he can’t get the reaction he wants from me anymore.
At first I laughed it off because… it’s Torn.
People trash talk.
People troll.
But eventually it stopped feeling like random game toxicity and started feeling genuinely obsessive and uncomfortable.
And what honestly confirmed to me that this wasn’t “just harmless trolling” anymore was what happened with his faction.
After trying to handle things privately for so long, I respectfully reached out to the leadership of the highly respected faction “The Fallen” to explain the situation and provide evidence of the behavior I had been dealing with.
Not to create drama.
Not to ruin anyone’s reputation.
Just because I genuinely didn’t know what else to do anymore.
And after reviewing everything, he was removed from the faction because of his behavior and misconduct.
But even THAT didn’t stop him.
In fact, after I respectfully messaged the leadership of “The Fallen” about the situation and provided evidence of the behavior I had been dealing with, he was removed from the faction — despite having been welcomed there and kept as a member for over 450+ days.
And somehow, even after all of that, he then started placing bounties on the faction leader himself.
Honestly… that part says more than I ever could.
Because when somebody turns against even the people who supported and welcomed them for that long, you start realizing this behavior was never about “banter” or “game rivalry” in the first place.
It’s bitterness.
Obsession.
And the constant need to target people for attention and reactions.
And somehow, despite being blocked, despite being reported, despite being removed from a respected faction over his conduct… the harassment toward me still continued anyway.
What’s sad is that I already know exactly what some replies will look like before I even post this.
“Attention seeker.”
“Overreacting.”
“Can’t handle Torn.”
And that mindset is exactly why so many girls stay silent when they deal with this kind of behavior privately.
Because somehow the person speaking up becomes the problem instead of the person repeatedly crossing boundaries for entertainment.
I’m not posting this for pity.
I’m not asking anyone to harass him back.
And I’m not trying to create a hate mob.
I’m simply tired of pretending this kind of behavior should be considered normal.
Nobody should have to log into a game wondering whether the same person is once again going to throw another bounty on them, publicly taunt them, or continue escalating things simply because they enjoy the reaction it causes.
I genuinely hope moderators seriously review the reports and evidence because behavior like this eventually pushes people away from the community entirely.
Please keep replies respectful. 💋
Tyvm for reading and helping the community to grow stronger and helping not to normalize this kind of behavior!
