How do I report someone to the devs for threatening to dox me?

[Nalla]

As the title suggests someone in my server threatened to dox me and are weaponizing the entire server against me for speaking out against him, I am unsure what to do as doxxing is a real life crime and I want to report their entire group for aiding someone who has threatened to dox me.

Apparently only in 4 countries, and you and the perpetrator both have to be from one of those.

just get a VPN, toxic freaks are a norm these days.

Unless something changed recently, doxxing isn't illegal in the US. If the information used to dox was illegally acquired or if the person is harassing you, then that enters the realm of criminality, but otherwise no.

You're probably better off finding another server regardless of whether or not you can report them for this.

They're harassing and cyberbullying me and even threatening to abduct and imprison me IRL, then they backpedal and say "no we want to do that to you ingame"

No one is going to dox you or do any of the things they're saying, they are just trolling/abusing you like a bunch of immature kids.

Just don't respond to their toxicity. Ignore them, and if you feel targetted too much through non-text (pvp, pve griefing), then you may just need to find another server to play on.
As much as starting over sucks, at the end of the day it's not worth keeping yourself in an environment that is poison to you.

And for future advice, people who behave this way pray on those who respond. If there's something you reasonably need to say (that isn't just being toxic yourself), say it and leave it. Elaborating and continuing to argue with them will just fuel them. Deny them their platform and they'll get bored of you.

"Bro, you need to bring an industrial tractor. I'm a fatty. Oh, and a normal prison won't do, you'll need to find me a free spot at the local zoo."

Play it up.

Why are you taking such people seriously

[Nalla]

For one I'm sick of people on other games treating me the exact same way; and the game I played before this, a game called Mabinogi. I actually did get doxxed, and had someone send a suspicious package to my house and I had to call the police. So if one person can dox me, the rest can.

must be new to gaming bullying, vulgar language, trash talking etc has always been a part of gaming. grow a pair. get over it and move on. as other people said just go to another server.

Remove yourself from the situation, I wouldn't trust any survival game devs to help in something like this. I also wouldn't expect any help from forums, as you can sadly see people still seem to think bullying is somehow the fault of the victim. I wish you well and hope you can find a better server or some friends to play privately with.

QFT. I also enjoy the CSGO forums. Some of the derps in there are hilarious.

I do agree with the first bit. Leaving a toxic environment is always the right call.

As for the rest, however...

The actions of the other is always ultimately their own responsibility, but...

Say that someone engages in the same sort of toxic behaviour they ultimately get victimised by, except they are a bit too good at it.

Say that they don't know when to stop, and can't or won't try to deescalate when others have had thoroughly enough of them.

Say that they can't read the room, and a result, they inadvertently turn entire communities against themselves in the process of getting a rise out of a few people.

Now, I'm not saying this necessarily is the case, but that it definitely could be. By his own admission, this has happened to him several times. Can't you say that they're culpable to some degree, however much ignorance or social ineptitude underpins it?

I know, benefit of a doubt and all that, but still... Isn't there a space for nuance even in these sorts of scenarios?

Doxxing is only illegal in Cali I think. If you have secure passwords/accounts then don't worry about a meaningless threat. Also, the dev's cant do a single thing about it because the product itself wouldn't be the medium by which the malicious action was taken. Your personal information isn't found within V Rising. Also, grow a thicker skin. Offense is "Taken." It is up to you to be offended. You are not responsible for other people's reactions to your behavior, only your response to those actions and vice versa. Life is short, so be mindful who/what you waste that time on. Their comments probably weren't even worthy of a response. Pay them no mind.
