bistogravy2b Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hi there, ​​For the past year my estranged half sister has been harassing me and stalking me on Twitter. She creates a brand new account, messages me introducing herself and saying that she wants to speak to me. There are many issues from the past as to why we cannot speak. Unfortunately, she is very manipulative and for this reason we have had no contact since childhood. Anyway. What happens is I block her and then she creates a new account and messages me from that. I have reported this to Twitter but they said "this does not constitute harassment". Despite her creating new accounts just to message me several times. Is there anything that I can do to stop this? It appears that because the messages are not threatening in content, but it is unwelcome communication, and also perhaps because this is a relative I can do nothing about it. Any advice would be really appreciated. I just want to be left in peace. Many thanks for reading this. Kind regards, bistogravy, lol MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Hello @bistogravy2b I understand how frustrating this must be, especially if you don't want any contact at all. Yes, if she is not sending abusive messages it is unlikely to reach the threshold for twitter to do anything. Here is the link, if you would like to continue reporting her profiles as and when they come through - https://help.twitter.com/forms/abusiveuser. I get that it's labour on your part, but it might require you blocking every new profile that comes through from her immediately and make your account private?

bistogravy2b Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 Thank you Remi. I don't want to make my account private as I am a mental health campaigner so it supports my work. I think I will just have to block every new account and just continuing to do this in the hope that one day she will get bored? I guess there's not much else that I can do. Thank you for the link though. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hello, Yeah that's what you can hope for. Have you sent a message saying that you don't want contact and that you will be blocking going forward? Remi MultiQuote Quote This Digital Mentor Account is no longer active.
