Thanks OP. Hope some of the concerns here can be commented on.
curious: who is threatening you? I think people who aren't nice to other people should perhaps feel warned (not really threatened).
If you are reasonably respectful of folks in general...its all good...
right?
Very well said.
There was no threats issued, and no one should feel threatened here, just relieved.
Be kind and courteous towards others in your responses and you are fine.
If you feel you must be confrotational and degrading to communicate your point, well that is a problem.
If you feel you must call your friends to help you be confrontational and degrading someone else's opinion, that too is a problem.
Those who have been guilty of this in the past, well now you have time to think it over and just be kind and courteous, and respectful to others, and all will be ok.
I saw nothing threatening in what Gary had to say to us all. I applaud it, and welcome it.

^^ Reported you for bullying.
Assuming everyone who disagrees with the new rule is a "bully"

Were there situations that people have been called out for having alts and using those alts to play head games? Yup.
Were beggers called out on the forum? Yup.
Did scammers and hackers get told things they didn't want to hear about their behavior? Yup
Was baiting pointed out when some players were trying to get a rise out of others? Yup.
Did players speak up when those who faked illness and death to gain pixels were found out? Yup.
There are many, many more situations to list, but the point is there are no victims. There are many who want to play victim when they are called out for their behavior, but they give as much as they get. If you don't want conflicts, then don't create them. Take ownership of your own behavior and realize that people will speak up when you are caught being manipulative. That does not make them bullies any more than it makes you a victim.
If perhaps I missed a real case of a player being bullied on here I would love for someone to PM that situation to me. I think if people are honest with themselves though, they will realize how they contributed to the very drama they claim to hate.

I have been reported for a smiley face on the old forums and because of who i agreed with there. I know people who have been reported for things that should not have been reported and i have seen grudges carried over. I have seen people even in this thread trying to be all coy but pointing fingers. Of course there are concerns. I just want to be sure that there is a way to defend ourselves against grudge reporting and that we cant lose our game because of pettiness. Its all well and good to say just be nice, but when you have people who feel that you are bringing in gangs when more than one person disagrees with a post, its kind of hard to know if you will be reported for bullying or not.

I am missing something..... please feel free to elaborate on what you mean. It is frustrating to say the least to have your ingame acct held 'hostage' (if you will) by how someone else wants to interpret what you are saying. I am sorry you cannot see where some are genuinely concerned with this.

I can absolutely guarantee that we are not talking about the same people.
The posters I'm talking about didn't hesitate to out who people were in a former forum life and are continuing the same modus operandi of bait and taunt and then cry bully and report and victimize themselves. I'm hoping they will be seen for what they contribute to the situation and that those who have strong opinions aren't penalized for expressing them respectfully even though they may not coincide with those who feel another way.
