Bullying on FFXIV

[Presbytier]

The easiest and best solution to stop cyber bullying is to take the anonymity out of the web. Blizzard's Real Id plan was great unfortunately they caved to the pressure of people suddenly realizing they may have to own up top the things they said online.

What exactly did he/they do ?

One of the problems with games like this, is you have people from many different cultures. And, something that might seem harmless or funny to me might be offensive to someone else.

I for one, am sick and tired of Political Correctness. As far as I'm concerned, it's a form of censorship. If you do / say something stupid, I ain't gonna sit back and hold my tongue.

This is a game, but people really do need to try to be more respectful and helpful towards others.

Well I can't say much because of the forums rules but is pretty much what they tend to do to. He called him names and then pointed at him to make sure everyone knew about who he was talking about. I mean, he could have stayed on the party chat or his ls chat but he decided to make sure everyone noticed him to embarrass the guy. He doesn't have a clean record neither however even with a clean record no one should feel the right to make anyone feel bad. That's playing with emotions and exactly like you said, not respecting.

I hate bullys, want me to make a char on your server and give him a good smack ?

here's my BOT macro I use when ever I see a BOT

/beckon motion
/em gives <t> a smack to the side of the head.

I'll add this for the bullys

/fume motion
/em kicks <t> in the nuts.

Now if it were me who was bullied, I'd plan some revenge, maybe join a AF run he needs and get everyone wiped.
Muhahahaha


Someone earlier said to ignore the bullies. I don't think that's a good idea. They may leave their current target alone. But a bully is a bully for life, so they'll just move on to someone else. If you don't want to stand up for yourself. Think of the next person the bully might go after.

You got a valid point.

Knowing that the jackass who is doing the 'bullying' is named Bill frinklemen does jack all to solve any problem.

The big thing about blizzards real id push. Remember when that rep posted his real name and the interweb detectives set to work to find him and pegged the wrong guy? Yea super effective.

You are not looking at the big picture; if everyone had to show who they where they would be far less likely to grief, and could actually face legal punishment easier when necessary.

[Gramul]

Blacklist the fool, dude.

Yeah, that ain't gonna fly. Animosity is one of the best and worst parts of the internet. Take it away and people get pissed. Gotta take the good with the bad. Thicken your skin, and deal with the jerks.

No it does not work in reality and it does not work for the internet. Anonymity is hurting the future viability of the internet.

your the reason why the internet will soon enough be policed and locked down for all to use freely. can't ignore them? your just as angry as they are then. what you want people going to jail or getting tickets on the net for doing and saying the wrong things like speeding tickets? it's like micro chipping our selves for the 1percent that go missing. it ain't gonna go good cause both sides of this fence.

bullying wrong but so is pitchforks against them. 1 alpha male is no different then 20 non alpha's running a muck. don't try to replace the world with meme's like u'rself. ignoring doesn't work then do something about it, don't ruin something as simple as a game for your own thoughts of right and wrong.

for all we know since she wasn't part of the bullying that it could of been misunderstanding, i've heard some borderline retarded convo's in my linkshells that sound like bullying but they just back and forth like that for fun. it's not for everyone, surely not me, but being able to get people banned or anything like that for it is over the top. blacklist and have a good day.

also everything huggin said is on the nose.
