We've banned this account and related accounts for breaking the site guidelines repeatedly and ignoring our repeated requests to stop. Also for using multiple accounts abusively, and (it seems) also for crossing into aggressive attacks outside this site. Seriously not cool.

What exactly am I supposed to do when another user is stalking me besides tell them off?

How am I using multiple accounts abusively? I’ve been using them to make substantive comments when prevented from doing so by ratelimits, which is something actively encouraged by your webdesign.

I write a good comment, get hit by the ratelimit, am I just supposed to throw it away? That’s shitty. The right and proper thing to do would be to inform me of the ratelimit before I waste my time writing a comment I can’t post.

I don’t think you can criticize the comment histories of my other accounts like https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=doldols , I’ve been using them to make substantive contributions, not to abuse people.

Your account was rate limited because you have a history of breaking the site guidelines. We've warned you about doing that, and asked you to stop, many times.

Using multiple accounts to get around moderation restrictions is obviously an abuse of the site.

Nobody is stalking you.

Replying to your frequent postings on a public forum and stating the fact that your accounts are sock puppets, which you don't deny, is certainly not stalking.

If you're terrified of people publicly replying to your public posts, then don't post in public, simple as that.

If you bravely decide you have thick enough skin to tolerate people replying to your posts, and you hit the rate limit, then post later, simple as that.

On the other hand, your creepy and unlawful actions of launching massive denial of service attacks against other users and threatening to spend thousands of euros to ruin their lives by committing fraud and identity theft is DEFINITELY stalking.

You went WAY beyond "telling them off". So don't pretend we all don't know what you really are.

YOU are the stalker.
