Stalker vote-kicking me?

I got voted from this room. I went to another and then another person came in and kicked me. This kept continuing for several times. Then I switched names and I went to a room. They still managed to find me and kicked me. I talked to this person and he said he has my ip and I can't hide from him. I wanna know how they are able to find me with just my ip and how I can stop it.

It looks like you've been kicked enough from rooms that it only takes one vote to kick you. It is possible to find you via your IP but if you weren't in this player's room... well, it would take an almost creepy amount of time and effort to IP all the players online. Stay as far away from them as possible. However, it did take 3 votes initially to kick you and there are other reasons for people wanting to change their IP on iSketch, less credible ones. The only real way, unless you have a dynamic IP, is to change your ISP, which is a lot of hassle. Best just wait until this person gets bored. This is not an official site, so this is unofficial advice. However... as has been stated on this forum before and you would know if you'd read previous threads:

That happened to me a few times. I really would suggest waiting it out. People like that get bored after a while (or found by admins, heh). Try not to communicate with him either. I find that the more attention you give stalkers, the more they'll do it. If this person does continue, it might be a good idea to get his IP, username, and taking screenshots of anything bad that he may say (and perhaps email feedback with that information, if you feel it's worthwhile). If you're lucky enough to stumble across an admin while he is vote abusing, you could inform them of it (if you feel he'd follow you into another room). Again, this is all unofficial advice, as Buffers has stated.

I really would suggest not talking to him at all though. If he PMs you, simply don't reply. Or don't ask him questions about how he finds you, etc. It can be very effective. I'll admit, I once used to give stalkers the time of day, but quickly realised that ignoring them is what is needed. :) I do it so much now, that I even find that I'm not replying to my friends using different names playing tricks on me, heh. (of course, I don't know it's them until after..) Might be a good tip for not just yourself, but anyone else who has stalker issues.

I would agree not to give him any attention and not answer him in any way if he spaks to you just copy it and send it to feedback.

Good luck with mailing feedback, they usually take ages to get back to your enquiry.
Do as the others said and ignore them completly

Not all the time. I believe that there was a time that I got a reply within 24 hours! A couple of times I got a reply within 48 hours. And another time it took a bit longer than that. Maybe I have been lucky, but I believe they do the best they can, especially with new and fresh feedback comments, with situations that are in their control. Continuous vote abuse isn't something that's taken lightly on iSketch, we all know this. So no one should be put off emailing feedback. And they might even deal with the situation without even needing to reply to you, who knows? :)

I know there is temptation in replying to stalkers.. but ignoring them works a charm, lol. :)

I have to agree with nerds there cherry, not always. Depends on the kind of inquiry i guess. Last time they got back to me pretty quickly, but it was a report about spelling errors for words in a room, not sure how long they'd take for stalking and harassment as i've never really had the opportunity to do email them about that, but i'm sure it depends on the case.

Yup, I think it's all been said. Contact feedback, ignore the wrong doers, and make sure you keep your own nose clean in the process :)

Yes nerdy hun, i may have sounded a bit condeming of the feedback team there.
I dident mean to be so dismissive of them, they do there best and we should applaude there work.
As all time consuming free non payment positions should also be applauded.
