[PSA] Please screenshot all interactions with poachers.

[NKato]

As some of our members may know, we are dealing with people who have been consistently attempting to poach members from our organization, and on more than one occasion, one of these people have managed to intimidate members. At this point, this stops being an attempt at recruitment and starts becoming a case of repeated harassment. This has been going on for at least two months now.

I am currently in the process of working with CIG to rectify this behavior. I have reported him to a CIG moderator, but without evidence, I doubt he will stop his incessant behavior. Please send me any and all screenshots of people who attempt to poach or harass you from the organization.

If you have any chat logs or screenshots from prior interactions, please also send them to me - or to Montoya or Seung.

Wait wat? I thought the people who just kinda spammed invites to everyone were generally assholes, but threatening people? Over a game? That's not even out yet? That's full-on douchenozzle behavior.

There are ways to intimidate people without threats being used.

 

[Black Sunder]

I would like to see examples of the intimidation part you spoke of.

A few weeks ago, a member mentioned in our RSI org chat being uncomfortable about this one poacher's behavior. At the time, I thought little of it, but as time went on, this particular poacher continued to target other members in TEST.

This particular poacher uses RSI Chat PM's and forum private messages to engage in said poaching attempts, which is why most of you who haven't hung out in RSI Chat do not know about him.

To be honest, the regulars in RSI org chat are getting sick of him.

The point of me posting this thread is to remind EVERYONE to record all instances of interactions that can be seen as either harassment or poaching by an outside party.

Because I don't have actual screenshots or chat logs at the moment, that's why I'm posting this thread. So I can collect. that. fucking. evidence.

This is now srs bzns.

There is a distinct difference between sending out invites to people and harassment. Attempts to poach are going to happen regardless that is an expected course of action. While it may be annoying I do not believe it is outright harassment unless there are actual threats involved or a continued pressure after said "poacher" has been denied by said "poachee"(sp?). So be careful with this or it may in turn be found you are the one harassing someone just for an attempt of poaching which is going to happen and in my opinion harmless.

If you plan to start a crusade make sure its for actual harassment and not just cause the poachers annoy you. So if someone attempts to poach you and you tell them No and they stop then leave it be. If you tell them No and they continue to harass I suggest each individual report said person to CIG themselves whom I am sure will handle it appropriately. We are not starting Witch Hunts.

Poaching will be harmless as long as TEST continues to bring the culture and fun expected of by the members. If they are happy they will stay if they are not and we aren't the type of culture they are looking for then they will leave. Which while sad is within everyone's right to do so and we will wish them the best in finding that perfect fit.

Yuuup. We're all mostly at least adult sized. We can capably fend for ourselves against the nasty internet badies.

 

[Tooterfish]

I'm a grown man, and I don't need Test or CIG to protect me from the internet. If you don't like someone's behavior, ignore them.

 

[svenrichter]

We should invite these people and let them poach for us.

All hands to keyboards

 

[Montoya]

This is the first I have heard of it. Who is this poach-e?

I am currently in the process of working with CIG to rectify this behavior

No, please do not.

Sueng and myself are already in contact with CIG on several related issues.

We appreciate your initiative, but please to do not contact CIG as a TEST representative unless you have cleared it with me. They do not need 39 different people contacting them on the same issues.

I may have misread this, but you are telling us all to open tickets and spam CIG as hard as we can, right?

Thats what I read too... I don't understand the reasoning, but if Montoya wills it, it shall be done!

Apparently the part about "RSI Chat" didn't register with most of y'all. :p

There is one person who has been approaching our members repeatedly for the past two months, and I remember reading a member say that he's not comfortable - or at least implying such - with this guy.

And Montoya, I'm not necessarily working that close with CIG. I just notified Toast about this particular individual in question and he elevated it, and that was it. I won't hear from them what they've got on this guy. I edited my post to reflect this better.

And Montoya? I've been trying to contact you directly so I can tell you the name of this offender, but your head is so far up Grand Theft Auto V's ass, you can't hear me.

While I know that attempting to recruit members isn't necessarily harassment, I am not comfortable with his pattern of behavior. And obviously, there's a reason I'm not calling him out by name here on the forums. The forums are public.

Cos' The_administrator will try to cover his tracks? And CIG doesn't keep chat logs? Oh I had a rather amusing chat with him, but screens are on my work pc :( will post tomorrow.
