Scared of being cyberbullied (2 Viewers)

[Dragonmaster262]

Well, if he gets on and doesn't like it, then he always has the option to leave.

That's the thing. He doesn't want to leave but he doesn't want to get cyberbullied either.

What does he want? You ever after?

 

[Dragonmaster262]

Well even if moderators are bullied they have their ultra powers to make bullies vanish.

Nah he just want to come and do the usual stuff e.g. ask about texts, subjects, scaling etc but he's scared of posting.

Gosh, what a rather unfortunate situation to be in =/
Cyberbullies are bad yes, but what it all really comes down to is just a bunch of nameless, faceless things. If your friend doesn't like what people are saying, it's so easy to ignore them!
I wish I could say something that would convince him to post but I can't really think of anything. Other than telling him, as I believe someone else has mentioned, that there are lots of nice people on bos and we're here to help (=
Yeah, I have nothing new to add. But had to say something.

Most 'mod bullies' have sock puppet (multi) accounts.

Is he a virgo?

 

[Dragonmaster262]

Virgo is a star sign.

He's aqaurius.

 

[tlodg]

He's aqaurius.

What about you? Pisces?

Maybe I should get my friend to apply for a moderator. Then he can bann anyone who cyberbullies him. ajdlinux what crietria do you have to meet to become a moderator?

Being an experienced member and having good reasons are a start - you can't just become a mod for self-defence.

Realistically if he stays out of the Non-School forums and doesn't act like a complete idiot, it's fairly unlikely he'll experience any cyberbullying, and any one-off or random abuse can be dealt with fairly quickly by mods.

Well looks like the moderator idea went down the drain.

Why can't he just..make 1 post and see what happens?

 

[Dragonmaster262]

I've said that to him a hundred times but he he's too scared after seeing what happens to others.

 

[kelly tully]

Tell him if anyone picks on him...


K Tully has his back.

Seriously, how many threads has he read? This rarely happens.

Yeah I've never seen anyone doggedly cyber-bullied.
