I say let your son start an EVE account to hunt down these people and make sure they never bother you again.

If he's a technological genius it shouldn't be difficult, and you have to stop sheltering him at some point.

Fel, that is not what I am saying. Also, until you have dealt with an autistic child you have no idea what it is like. IF he wants to so do something he is going to do it.
As far as blocking the site from the router... that is a good idea and I may do that. I am concerned that he will just grab another wireless signal from his laptop and access one of the accounts.
Thank you all for the ideas. The help is much appreciated.


I have dealt with an autistic child for the past 14 years. I can say with certainty your concerns concern me. If you really want to limit the boy's access to computers, you know it's easily done. You know how to do it. What I find interesting is you haven't, or you won't. Ask yourself, what's more important your entertainment or your responsibility to that child.

I suggest a more Draconian measure. I also think you should give deeper consideration to your priorities IRL.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

Vyt I have done all that I can. I am also working on his laptop now to try the suggestion taht was posted above about the feedback loop.
I have specified in the router that his IP address is blocked from EVE. I am not as savy as he is and I am doing the best I can.

1. Don't post details about your personal life that can be used as ammunition unless it won't bother you. If you are going to object to anything being used to harass you or used to push your buttons, don't put it on the internet, period.

2. Petition it.

okay see now that one would have deserved a dislike...

@ OP I say what you do is poke at the guy threatening you and goad him into making worse and worse threats with which CCP can get behind getting rid of him over.

And of course make sure to take note where the logs are (default saved to Documents/EVE/logs/chatlogs) and keep the mails and maybe even take screenshots of him making said threats in a channel and etc

Give CCP more ammo to work with


ya so they cant say "the logs... they show nothing"

Well crafted troll or attempt to apply pressure to get a refund.

Do like the intelligent man above said, log on on a PC your son can not reach, change login details.. done.

Also, can I just point out, that as a proffesional support worker who has worked with many many autistic people for many years, your son is very rare. VERY rare, Rain Man is possibly the most annoying bit of disinformation ever. People on the autistic spectrum are neither more nor less likely as a percentage to have any special skills, ability or intelligence than people off the spectrum.

IE: Saying 'Like many autistic people my son has XXX skill' Is just ridiculous. Not flaming you for that, I have a disabled brother and wouldnt ever insult anyone with any form of disability. When you talk about it, say your son has a skill, maybe even a great one, but just dont say 'Like many autistic people...'

Just saying. Good luck with your original questions etc though...

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

Well crafted troll then, though it would be more convincing if you actually pretended to acknowledge the advice you received on how to simply and effectively deal with the problem.

I suppose it is easier to pretend to be distracted by the posts that give you an opportunity to ham up the martyr bit though, you've gotten a fair bit of mileage out of that method.

All in all 8/10.

I am not just acknowledging the advice I am putting it to use. I set the feedback loop, blocked eve from his IP and did nearly everything that anyone has suggested.
I have not yet gone out of the house to make sure that the password change is not key logged.
I am not attempting to troll anything.

Delete your characters. The guy who is harassing you will not be able to find you in Eve. Simply delete them. As a matter of fact, if you do that, you will not be posting any further in thread after the biomass timer ends. That is the easiest solution.

What about the other games you said he was harassing you in???

This isn't that hard to fix from the parent. You change your password, change the email account associated with the account to something that your kid doesn't know you have (signup for a yahoo, gmail, hotmail on a browser using privacy so there are not logs). Now the kid doesn't know the password and doesn't know what email account it is tied to. Just remember to use a password that you would never use in your life when creating the new email account.

My partner works for Blizzard.... When you have someone in the industry; (in my case at least) gaming becomes a part of life in general. It is difficult to think about deleting every character we have in the three large MMO's we play in.( WoW, Rift, and EVE) That is a lot of time for us to build those characters to what they are. I have followed the advice of many people on here to secure him from accessing EVE and will see what happens.
As far as simply changing the passwords, yes it was done, but he has written software in the past (as I stated before) to hack passwords.
Thank you all for your help. I will see what happens. For now, two characters are in the biomass process, and things are locked down rather tightly. It would have been simpler had CCP simply given the guy a warning of some sort or deactivated my accounts immediately.

An account can get banned right away for several things: like modding the client, RMT, or botting.

I think your going a bit overboard here, your trying to block your son from playing Eve, because of 1 person?

A) Block the character from all your accounts, and your sons
B) Start new characters, so the person doesn't know who you are
C) Make a post in Crime and Punishment forum, and get someone to annoy his corp for a bit.

Really mate, you are uber paranoid over some e-nerds rage tears.
