Bullying

[Paddy Kenny]

My two cents follow.

Anyone who knows me at all now, knows that I really detest human nature when we turn on each other. Dont call me sensitive pls

What happened in the last week was Alyssa was bullied.

She was cyber bullied and the response here was too slow and too weak.

What's worse is that she lost the rag back and let herself down. Amore dignified silent appraoch and less coarse language would suit a lady like her better

They both came out bad, but Robin R is anonymous, Alyssa may be adversely affected and that's saddest of all..

I say to the EI. Stamp out bullying

It's time for a zero policy on bullying. Its up to the mods though. Well what about it guys? Time to stand up and be counted.

the mods have lives outside of here and may not be logged on to see something in time.A prime eg being Edgar O Pricko having his fun at the expense of human trafficing and child abuse thread.No mods were on to see it bang on time.They can only do the best they can when they are logged on.

Your right they cant view every post. But in the case of robin rock i think it was clear he was just out to cause trouble and it could have been stopped earlier thats all.

He was anonymous, but he wasn't Anonymouse. Close thing though.

Sometimes I wish I'd picked a different username!

I think I quite like anonymouse its much cuter and looks really cuddly xxx

Agree completely. It is also for members to help by using the report a post button attached to every post with the symbol "!" when ever they feel something is not in line with the rules here. That report pm is then up in front off all com mods and E-I staff and whoever see's it first can act if required or we can then have a discussion among ourselves as what is best to do. We are volunteers and have stuff to do just like yerselves but we do and will act on every valid reported post so ask the forums help also.

but i can see this being abused and tit for tat reports going up.He reported me so i will report him sort of thing.Also we will be back to the same old "i reported this and that was done,yet he reported that the this was done.

is talking through pms.Ppl may as well post their comments to each other.Its a nuisance.Better if mods had a private chat area where they can speak directly on issues with each other and have those issues dealt with quicker and in a more satisfactory way.

I hear yeah but there are rules against misusing the report option. People doing so and acting the maggot will be sanctioned and possibly banned for a time of varying degree but people reporting anything in a spirit of wishing to help or anyone reporting abuse directed at them will be looked into on every occasion and in fact a new system to flag reported posts more effectively has been in operation for a couple of weeks now and is proving very useful... we cannot fail to see any reported post...
