Report CyberBullying on the Forum

If you have experienced or witness cyberbullying, such as harassment, threats, or abusive content on the forum, report it to the moderators so they can help maintain a safe community.

Without any fear or favour, I will say this is needless because that is what we owe the community as members of this platform, and if you ask me, I will tell you that the moderators are super active here, coupled with members who constantly report unnecessary posts, as you have opined here. I will also implore you to do the same since you already made this post, and as a member of this community, you owe the platform this responsibility of acting in accordance with what you have said here.

You hit the nail on the head. Reporting isn't just a suggestion; it’s basically the only way to keep the place clean. The mods can't read every single thread, especially in a massive community like this. When a user reports something, it instantly brings a hidden problem straight to the attention of the people who can act. It’s the community's way of being the eyes and ears, and it definitely makes the moderators’ job effective and not just reactive.

That's what the "Report to moderator" button is for.

How about in a situation like the concern raised by the OP, where the threat is not directly sent through the PM, comment or on any visible thread where the "report to moderator option is available" but has been added to the users' trust page? How do you report such to a moderator as I can remember reading about someone complaining about such thing in its trust page or that of another.

Then you should message the moderators directly about such a threat if it contains personal information or anything that breaks the rules, but usually it makes far more sense to simply exclude the user from DT.

Actually, the trust is not moderated.

Q: Why isn't trust moderated?
A: Feedback isn't moderated (except for obvious cases such as pure advertising, hundreds of identical empty/gibberish reports on one user) for the same reason as scams - too much room for abuse.

Therefore, it is useless to report any negative comments on the trust page to the moderators. Only two people can help edit the trust page: theymos and Cyrus.

How I wish it's as simple as that, the moderators will highly likely do nothing. Bitcointalk is the forum I know that tolerates it the most, which is not good. But it has died down a little, which is a welcome development.

It's bad to the point that a legendary member here, instead of rightly directing newbies and some higher ranks with minimal mistakes, he would rather start bullying and insulting them unprovoked. I read, I laugh, I walk away. But I often wonder why people are that mean in this vanity world.

People are already going through a hard time in real life and it will be awful that they come online to get attacked with bullying and abusive words from a fellow forum member, it can be depressive.

On this topic to get things straight. Does sarcastic statements also fall into bullying and abusive category?

The forum is for patching things up, learning, and doing business, not for putting up with a "toxic" person who thinks they own the ad.

Seriously, grow a thicker skin, so mean people on the internet can't get under your skin!

Abruptly moderators has always been active in responding to required posts and contents in the forum without compromised.
I also like the fact you pointed it out to the Op letting him know that he is not limited to also act as surveillance in respect of keeping the community clean from threats and oppressions because, it is everyone's responsibilities to do so but on the contrary I think the Op was on the verdict of letting newbies know about it that they also have the right to report users who are on the wrong moves because if you watch, newbies had mostly been on target for scammers because they are believed not to had been experienced in the forum and also, some of the oppressive users of the forum had mostly been attacking lower ranks because they are barley defensive.
So you can give this a thought why the thread is of essence.

About sarcasm I'm more on this page (didn't put much effort to search for where this "meme" originated):
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1123028495/sarcasm-primary-elements-of-humor-t

Loosely adapted, if you find traces of elements of S, Ar, Ca, Sm, primary elements of humor, giggle, put them in a beaker, heat, stirr, do some chemistry and see what comes out of it. And btw, never do chemistry without safety goggles...   

As others already said, grow a thicker skin, don't rent your head space to mean people for free. In many cases it's best to simply ignore them. Common internet knowledge: don't feed the trolls (with your own agitation)! Trolls love to feast on others. Just don't let them play their malicious games by engagement.

Not only this, if you think you're suspecting someone or his post content to be of harm to the community, then don't hesitate to report to the moderators, anything that could be of harm or threat to others is worth being reported, but we must ensure that we have an established fact that such thing is as we have reported, lie we are almost 100% sure before reporting.

People rather complain and get offened instead using "ignore" button.

I might be wrong here, but I think that the was explaining the situation in which someone leaves feedback saying something like "xyz is a moron and I will kill him". So, a death threat.

You probably didn't read my post carefully. Moderators CANNOT edit reviews on user trust pages. Therefore, even if there is a review like the one you gave as an example, the moderators will not be able to help. To delete such a review, you need to contact the administrators. But if your example is in a post somewhere on the forum, then yes, the moderators will help.

Real life is stressful enough for me to start paying attentions to the words of a troll
You will gain nothing in engaging them. Lovely how the ignore option exists.
But reporting would save another from having similar experience like you in the long run.

[mindrust]

Less engagement, less headaches.

Is he annoying? Ignore.
Is he spamming? Report.
Is he scamming? Tag/Flag.

Anything else? Don’t care.

The moment you talk to a troll, you are giving him exactly what he has been looking for: Attention.

If you wrestle a pig; you get dirty and the pig likes it. That’s the difference. You can counter Cyberbullying easily, ignore > it goes away.

You'll always find people who'll say wrong words that will ruin your happiness and you can't control it. I've been teased by such people in past and I just ignored them because I can't lose my energy for the people who use bad words because such people get happy when they hurt others with their words and that's their habit. Whatever, Loyce said is true, it's better to grow a thicker skin in online world because you'll interact with every type of people and some of them might be bullies.

Cyber bullying?



Come on man, grow up. Stop being such a whiny, cuck and grow a back bone. Nothing anybody says to you on an anonymous forum should remotely bother or upset you.

If you don’t like what somebody says to you then ignore it or tell them to get lost.

Mods on here have enough to do without having to deal with needless reports made by butt hurt, beta males.
