    I don't understand why people are deciding to break the rules a lot recently. Doing this just causes grief and agony for the targeted player or community. What would your mother say...

    Targeting a player online by breaking the rules is not only rude but is also considered to be cyber bullying. Doesn't that title seem nifty? Did you know that 1 in 10 cyber bullied teens attempt suicide? And by doing this, you are contributing to someone wanting to take their life. Cyber bullying isn't something to be taken lightly. It's a serious issue that kills lives. It causes people to turn their lives around just because of one comment. If you think that you can justify it, you can't. You really can't. Not everyone has thick skin and can take the heat when it comes. That's why they come on here.

    You know who you are. I'm not singling out anyone. But realize this: by cyber bullying or causing stress in someone's life, you could be contributing to someone changing their life in the worst possible way. We say words don't hurt, but they really do.

    It's like soooooooooooooo illegal in New Zealand. Yesterday I was being texted some awful stuff. I was called all sorts. Even told to kill myself. It's just so horrible how people have nothing better to do.

    Yeah, I've been threatened many times over the internet. But if you think about it, people will always be like this. No matter where you go, rude people will be here; irl or online. We have to face it.

    I'll be honest, Cyberbullies aren't going to stop what they're doing. It's much better the educate potential victims than trying to stop the bullies. If the victims would stop getting their feelings hurt, bullies wouldn't have a point, thus, inevitably stopping. All you have to do is to press the "ignore" or "block" button or if that's not an option, don't read their freaking messages. It's that simple. You "literally" do nothing and you've prevented yourself from getting your feelings hurt.

    Cyberbullying is a serious issue, and is difficult to stop. Don't let the cyber bullies get to you, thats all.

    Are you judging others by your own standards or just being pessimistic about human nature?

    Bullying is not natural. People do it in intentions to hurt someone else, because they have nothing better to do. I totally agree with you Lem. Good point :heart: I so feel like tagging some people but naw :t

    Gotta agree with Chubby The best thing to do is to not let it get to ya
    Pay no mind to these Low-life sons of biscuits, for they have nothing better to do in life.
    People like them never find true happiness.

    After all, that is one of the main reasons for cyber bullying.
    Its either they're not happy with their selves or, they simply get an enjoyment out of bringing harm to others.
    Overall I hate it equally as much as everyone else and hope that eventually cyber bullying can come to an end.

    Why should the burden of proof be on the other side? Nevermind

    Whoever says that is in need of a justification for being a bully, by the simple equation:

    Bullying is human nature + I am a human = I am a bully

    Antithesis as requested: any of the countless humans who are deferent, affable and forthcoming.

    Maybe you also mix up human nature with the urges of self-questioning, unwell-feeling teenies who need to put down others to feel better. I can assure you, this will eventually calm down with time passing by :)

    The other side needs to provide the proof because I'd like them to.

    Bullying is human nature, that doesn't mean if you're a human that you're a bully. It means that if you put down someone lower than you, it's not you going out of your way to be a jerk. It's just you wanting to feel superior. Everyone does it unintentionally and subconsciously.

    Which is basically loss of self-control. You're having a bad day and want other to have their part of it. That's not part of human nature. That's part of the animal nature within us. That's not an excuse to accomodate with it. So we set up rules, and we set up punishments for those who brake the rules. And saying "it's part of our nature" then ain't no excuse, because it's controllable, unless you are a psycho. If you however let it slip because of a momentary loss of self-control, you have to admit it and endure the consequences, apologise. Because this is what enables us to all live together. There's no point in letting some people have their inferiority complex getting out of hand.

    I understand that cyberbullying is bad, but no matter what you say, someone will still do it. If someone is cyberbullying you, there's a block/ignore function for a reason. Just do /ignore <scumbag's name>.

    Sidenote: When I was a freshman in high school (5 years ago), I made a website about someone in my school and it allowed people to log on and post whatever they wanted about him. It was terrible and I took it down after a week. The problem was that he already saw it and reported it to the principal. I almost was suspended for a few weeks because I enabled the bullying. I may not have posted a bad comment, but others did and they were really bad. Like people were saying he should kill himself and no one cares about him. This should go the same for people here, too. If you see someone else bullying someone, do something about it. Don't just stand there and let it happen. I felt terrible, especially because the following year, he switched schools. By you sitting there doing nothing, you are enabling the bullying to occur. Don't be that person who stands there and records. Be the person that takes appropriate action.

    Cyber Bullying is fun for who do that but it is serious, annoying, hated and can cause the victim to commit suicide. It wont stop. And it will never stop.
