The bullying on these forums is concerning

[Axxion]

Well troll or not idk, but if see a lot if ppl against 1 dude right now. Even if he is attention seeking : the guys i see making fun of him in this thread are no better.

Bad opignons exist (heck i said some bad things too but i'm willing to learn) and i see a lot of ppl getting oversensitive when they see one. It's not always the "attention seeking" guys or the "snowflakes". FFXIV players are cool until they dissagree with you, until they see your ignorance too, say 1 bad thing and ppl will get salty fast.

I say : take a break from this forum, go do something else and don't count on others (at the very least choose wisely) if you are facing a problem. Many ppl will gladly let you die before moving a finger if you are in a difficult spot in your life.

just check his forum history and you will see why

Please note that anyone can edit the tags. I just tried it with "Hentai" Damien might not be Titanmen, but Drakonic and Korekera are Titanmen.

Oh yeah i read some things, i understand the salt but some ppl getting salty are transfoming into a new breed of snowflakes or something lol

Eh i'm not going to watch who is the worst guy here, take my advise or leave it maybe it's trash lol

Have fun guys

These conversations are works of surrealist art

Have fun guys

Oh, i'm sure they will. Many people here seem to enjoy gangin up on others. Whether there is a reason for it doesn't matter, but i suppose giving attention to someone who is desperate to get it is a mutually beneficial relationship.

I read another thread here where people talked about some "kiwifarm". I can only surmise that these people spend their days doing this back and forth for entertainment. But that's none of my business.

The only time I see threads like this "people complaining about the community" it invariably ends up that they're attention seeking victims who simply can't let go of the idea that their opinion has to be heard and accepted.
Not everyone will agree with you, and you can't make them. If they don't like what you have to say, doubling down and complaining about that won't do you any good.

Specially when those opinion contain "1 is prime" and "november isn't fall".

Exactly. Why the hell do people have to be so mean on these forums. Ever since this game took the #1 mmo spot, this place has become forums savage. Our community seriously needs to have a better look at itself again.

Welp, guess he has to file yet another report. -_- And I will be helping him :/

You've gone WAY too far, and its bullying at this point. I ask you to please stop. This post is about how bullying in this forum has become too concerning. Not about a trumpet website sound for whatever reason.

Exactly. You continuously ask them to stop, and they do not cease. What is honestly wrong with them? Why do they get off on harassing you? This is so sad :/

Hahahaha. I had to admit I got a laugh out of that one because I know you're literally just quoting Damian's own posts.

If we're taking this thread at face value and in good faith...

This is one of those situations where I think that the prudent course is to take a break and step away from the forum if it is starting to cause someone stress. I hold the firm belief that although this place can be wild at times, it is still far more civil than many of the alternatives. For example, Reddit has a downvote system that is easily abused to punish anything that isn't considered to be 'group think'. Twitter, meanwhile is...well...it's Twitter.

Both also have no real rule against profanity and it's very easy to create 'dummy' accounts to circumvent bans.

I like to post here myself. It's fun. I've met some interesting people through this place! I don't take myself too seriously and I've certainly been faced with situations where someone's reaction to a post of mine has either rubbed me the wrong way or made me raise an eyebrow in utter bafflement.

Yet I don't let it get to me. If I see a thread or conversation go downhill, do you know what I do?

I take that frustration and go work out. I make myself stronger and pursue those gains. I see it as taking that negative energy and repurposing it into something more positive. Something that will benefit rather than harm me.

It may or may not work for other people, but it may be worth trying.

Im not taking this thread at good faith because OP's history of being overly sensitive and abrasive towards posters previously.

[Wyssahtyn]

Real talk - I've been on these forums for quite some few years. Frequent posters are fairly known to me just from seeing them often around threads. You are one of them.

In all the years I've been on this forum, all I've really seen from you is... questionable takes, oversensitivity to non-issues, hostility towards others who don't agree with a stance or opinion you have and the like. You have never been a pleasant presence on the forums, Damian. And while I personally don't know much about you in terms of Balmung's social atmosphere (as I stepped far away from it a couple years ago), I can only guess if you're an active RPer, you have a poor reputation there too (if you act the same way as here).

Bolded bit is true. As for how they act on Balmeme, from the few times I've seen them around over the years, they're just as bad as they are on here. Tossing them onto the blacklist solves that issue though. Shame the forum's blacklist doesn't stop you from seeing their created threads.
