Yes! I agree.
This is just as prevalent too and should be treated exactly the same way!

Yep..I've noticed this too but hopefully we don't have to worry about that anymore

Yes! This is exactly why the ignore button is much needed, sooner than later, in order to really keep the peace. There's only so much "baiting" one can ignore and turn a blind eye to before having to speak up.

Exactly. the thing is, one set of people may say, i am not going to report this crap because i am an adult and can take care of it, so they defend themselves and then bang, they get reported and reprimanded. So please powers that be, reinstate the ignore function. It would be a good thing!

I agree.
I don't think any of us should be subjected to it. And if/when it happens, I feel we should have the option to block the person so we don't have to see it.
I'm not sure why that feature hasn't been brought back. A Thread like this one proves that we need it IMO.

Some people find this topic hilarious or just can care less. In all reality the rate of bullying has increased through the years. It is up to you to put an end to it. We are all here for fun and friends. Keep the happiness going and quit the bullying. Words can hurt just as much as physical violence.

I agree with this.

We definitely do not need anyone bullying others, although I personally feel that word gets thrown around a bit too often here. When someone does not agree with another person's point of view, it is not bullying. People need to understand that if you are posting your opinion on an open forum, you will not always get the reactions you want to see. Obviously when disagreeing you should be respectful, but I have seen even the most respectful replies being lumped in and called bullying. I hope that when posts are reported (and I feel bad for those who have to read through them ) the mods look at the WHOLE thread. Many times the very ones who are crying victim are the biggest instigators and baiters.

Honestly though, there is no one on this forum who is worth losing your account over. The game is way more fun than the forums anyway.


EDIT to add: I do think the ignore button would solve many problems.

Very well said...as usual. Thank you.

Thanks!! Nice look btw

Thank you BVG. I promise it will all be fuzzy unicorns and pretty rainbows from now on from me

...signed and agreed...

Thank you, Gary.

The bully thing is over played, over used...mehhh.

Read and Signed.


Just call me Mrs. Sheep.



Bahhhhh.

read and understood Gary but as many have stated, a block/ignore button would vastly decrease the drama. not all would choose to use it of course but the majority would. i know we all should just choose to close out a thread instead of responding to drama but sometimes that is easier said than done when you see someone attacking another person for no reason. anyways, hope ya have a nice canada day.
