Recently, I have been harrased by someone over the Xbox Live system. This person constantly shows up to most of my games, threatens to hack me, and countinually insults me and my family. I havn't a clue what to do, I've blocked communications with him, muted him several times and have even sent letters to game componies asking for assistance and still he harasses me. Please Escapist community, I need help.

You've done all you can. If you mute him, he should stay muted. There really is nothing left for you to do though. Keep reporting him to XBL, eventually, something will happen.

What, so blocking him doesn't work? How does he circumvent that?

If you are posting this, that means you have a computer. Why not try playing games on this computer, or playing on Wiis or PS3s or soemthing not on Xbox Live? Or perhaps you should try a game this ************ does not have?

Uh, no. My creed: "Help those who are willing to help themselves."

But yeah. Good job, you did what you were supposed to do to make him stop. So, why hasn't blocking him worked?

A good place to start is to find out who this person is. I doubt he just does this to you, and only you, randomly. If this were just a regular griefer, he would have most likely moved on to someone else by now. Sounds like he has a grudge. He must have a reason, and therefore you probably know him. Any suspects based on that? Then again, you could have just pissed him off in game somehow (feels you cheat for example). If that doesn't work, just keep reporting him or change your gamertag.

If he's threatening to hack you, he's almost definitely full of shit. Any idiot can (and many do) say they'll do something to mess up your account, but the number of people who can actually pull that off is practically nil. On the other hand, if you say you're going to get him banned, that's not an empty threat at all--by connecting to xbox live every player agrees to about half a dozen legally binding contracts, every single one of which explicitly forbids what you say he's been doing. Tell him to read the EULA, the Live terms of service, and whatever fine print came with the game you're playing, and see if that doesn't shut him up.

Of course, they won't get around to the banhammer for a while, so if you want relief in the short term I suggest you try thinking outside the box. Try making peace with him; see if you can find out why he's harassing you and what's actually eating at him. In other words, be nice even when he clearly doesn't deserve it. You may get surprising results.

No. I only have three friends I know in person. He calls me countless names, usually for my slightly high pitched voice and always betrays me during games, even ranked. Not only that but he gives everybody who attempts to help shit. And he has been doing this over days now.

again just keep reporting more than once constantly hes probably just trying to get some sort of attention and those were almost certainly empty threats any way.

Tell him you're mentally unstable and anything can tip you over the edge. If he continues, find out where he lives and throw a brick at his house.

I didn't mean just friends. I meant anyone at all you've knows you and doesn't like you. Any bullies you know and like to pick on you, or if you're older, co-workers? anyone at all who might have a reason to hate you.

No, I'm 15 and havn't been employed yet(typical). The majority of my High school is mostly PS3. So I doubt it.
