Cyber bullying is wrong. Now before I get into depth with this topic, I’d like to let you know that I’m not perfect either. I admit that I’ve done some things that made people feel uncomfortable, like talking about bipolar disorder and other problems on world chat and scolding people for killing me in a pvp zone too much. But when people asked me to stop and open a chat specifically for my problems, I did. If it makes people uncomfortable, I don’t go out of my way to make people feel that way. I’m still working on the part in the pvp zone in Trapper’s Atoll. I’m not sure that it’s common courtesy to not kill people who are in peaceful mode there, but I like to think so (especially if the higher levels keep targeting lower level players).
Now back to my original comment (listed in the first sentence of the first paragraph)… I’ve been bullied, and I know that there’s others of you out there who have been too. If you’ve been bullied, don’t stay quiet about it and let people get away with it. But also be wise and don’t start a fight. It’s best to let someone in charge what’s going on and to avoid the bully. Hang out with better friends. Make sure you’re not alone. Have a way to provide both proof and a way of defense if you need to.
Remember this:
1. Avoid bullies and bullying (avoiding them sometimes gets them off your back)
2. Don’t bully others (it will make the matter worse)
3. Report bullies (if you report to the right people, I’m sure something will be done)
4. Don’t give up (persevere in what you do, even if nothing’s done by the authorities, you can still live your life)
You can do something against cyber bullying: spread the word. I for one don’t believe in the oppression of others online!
Cyber bullying is a serious offense in my book, and I hope it is in yours, too. If you’d like some examples, please look below this sentence to two tickets that give some input of some cyber bullying that occurred on Febuary 5, 2015:
impersonation crisis EL-019459
1. My character name is knight_medek (on Eldevin), and I found someone who was impersonating me today. The person ceased to be insulting about my person on World Chat on Eldevin and may still be out there impersonating me. Please help...
inappropriate content EL-019457
2. These players have talked about hentai explicitly and refused to stop when asked to. They also used offensive language against other players and were being exclusive in world chat with other players. They also kept making sexual jokes that were quite offensive to me and others like me, and which were quite offensive (also considering I'm a girl, and most of them claimed to be male). They also refused to have their little "Hentai" chat elsewhere, as it was making others uncomfortable with their sexual comments and offensive language. I even noticed that they reprimanded someone quite thoroughly because he wanted them to "tone down" their language and change the topic from Hentai to something less offensive (especially since he was a father with children nearby)...
