The bullying on these forums is concerning

[Senn]

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.

Dang man, idk his post history, but some of these people should lay off.

the thread tags doe

[Caurcas]

Based on the tags I've concluded either OP has been broken, or this is a years long plot to perform a high tier troll. Either is possible.

I remember when a certain group was trying to push cyberbullying as something super duper bad back in the 2014-2016's and no one gave a shit so they just changed the buzz word to harassment because it made better headlines.

A lot of the nastiness is something to do with a certain troll. Usually he is incredibly easy to see, Roe-daddy, level 80 healer, level 2 gladiator, Birth month 1, in a FC with just the one member. All DoH/DoL classes at 80 except the fisher at 1... Like: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...cter/35187131/ as an example.

So, please. Stop demeaning Damian's thread with fake pity. Trolling him isn't nice Drakonik/Titanmen.

Pretending to be a victim of bullying is not nice either. It is very disrespectful to anyone who has actually been bullied and cut from societies for reasons that were not in their control - race, gender, social status and etc. Why are you asking others to be respectful towards one person who is disrespecting so many others through his actions?

Fake pity is what people who pretend to be victims deserve. When they learn to be genuine with ppl then they can expect something more.

I'm still waiting for the hentai in the tags. WHERE IS IT!?

You've missed a layer of sarcasm that may become clear if you compare who he is speaking to and who he is describing.

It's not about bullying but more the lack of moderation on the forum.

There are new provoking or misleading threads every day and no one stops them.

If we had a moderator who takes a daily look into the forum and straight up just closes them and banns the "trolls".

Prettymuch. We need a moderator who watches the large scale of what's happening on the forum and can recognise patterns of behaviour, not just judge a single isolated post. Give warnings, lock threads if they're getting out of hand, make sure people understand the rules. Literally, moderating the discussion.

They need to do that, but also let the right amount of tensions happen. Not all tensions need to be dealt with, because a little bit of natural tension that goes away on its own is absolutely healthy. I agree with what you said though. It's time that the moderators step back into the forums.

The question is, will they? Many years ago we had a forum crisis where they weren't do TOO MUCH, so they took a step back, and that was basically fine for awhile. People applauded it, but now that isn't working. The fandom has got way too big for that.
