When you receive a complaint about off-wiki harassment, it may or may not say who the reporting party believes the perpetrator is. If it does include such an allegation, your first priority should be to verify, if possible, this claim: is the Miraheze user actually the same user as whoever is doing the off-wiki harassment? A user in distress may not be a reliable judge. It is always possible for a malicious third party to be carrying out an impersonation that victimizes both the alleged target and the alleged perpetrator, or for someone to take advantage of our system to target a good faith user they disagree with.
