Is there a way to stop people from doing it?

    Weell, back in the days that was a really useful feature, you know, when PQ's were worth doing it.
    But is someone stalking you? Chatting you creepy things? Following you everywhere? Have you not being able to sleep at night? Did he/she try to gift you a candy?

    PS: don't accept it, it's a trap. believe me.

    Set your status to "offline" in your buddy list.
    Nobody will be able to "/find" you.
    The downside is that your buddies and guild will also not see that you are online.

    Thank you so much. There was a dude stalking my gf's Kanna to the point she was getting creeped out and just logged out all together. Hopefully this will help ease her worries.

    Pity we can't name and shame the scumbag harassing your GF. Human garbage tends to act up when there are few repercussions to keep them at bay.

    >"B-But that would be undue harassment."

    Sometimes, the only way to deal with such people is to use the same language they do. The trick is to know when to draw the line, or where the scales tip such that the aggressor becomes the victim. Sadly, we haven't found that line.

    The problem isn't that it's "undue harassment", it's that we don't know the truth.
    Suppose AkihikoT_ came here and said "MakazeKiba is harassing my gf."
    You would, of course, deny it.
    The girlfriend would then log in and say you definitely are, you scumbag.
    You'd still deny it, and bring friends on to tell everyone what a nice person you are.
    People who don't know either of you would take sides based on who sounds more convincing.
    Flamewar, sullied reputations, all sorts of unpleasant consequences, simply because none of us can judge one person's word vs. another's.

    That's why "naming and shaming" is not allowed. Because it allows innocents to be shamed by someone who is either mistaken or malicious.

    If you're being harassed, report it to Nexon (either through in-game reporting or through customer support). People have been banned for harassment before.

    Err, yeah, I'll agree with that. I forgot how ugly that tends to get.

    Pretty much the reason for innocent until proven guilty. Also the reason why I'm not naming names; why stoop to harassing someone.
