    Presenation on Cyber Bullying

    So yeah as the topic says my friend is doing a presentation on cyber bullying specifically in gaming, problem is he's not a gamer he's currently trying to think of scenarios where bullying has occurred in gaming. So I'm just posting to ask for all your advice or any experiences with bullying you guys might have come across that might help him out

    Thanks for your help guys!

    I have one that happened this morning. Went to CT and this one guy became very insulting because one member of my party was new to the raid and didn't know we had to have 4 people standing on the pad for Atamos. He became so vicious and ugly that his party kicked him.

    He also decided he was the alliance captain and demanded we all obey his commands...

    I wouldn't use that story. More and more people are saying that story was made up, and you shouldn't risk using a fake story for your school work.

    Check the Korean boards - it's true those two users could have made up the story and posted it there first, but that goes for just about anything you'll find in a games forums.

    When I look at the stories of people dealing with jerks, or the entries in the party finder.... I always remember this post.

    Cyber bullying is more effective in more personal areas like Facebook. How can someone cyber bully an avatar in a game? Some one being extremely rude or insulting shouldn't be considered cyber bullying. A bully IRL can find ways to get at you. In game you just /ignore and grow up.

    Rule 1: try not to be a dick to people.
    Rule 2: if you have been a dick to someone, apologize and don't do it again.
    Rule 3: if someone was a dick to you, don't dwell on it. Accept an apology if it's given, but don't let a little text on a screen from someone you don't even know pull you down. Especially when there's a million worse things that could happen.

    Worked alight for me so far.

    You'd be surprised how you can be bullied in game. In ff11 a friend and I had a falling out and she bullied me unmercifully. All over a guy I wasn't even interested in. I was kicked from my Linkshell, she shouted I bought gil, and constantly harassed me about the guy in question.

    She wouldn't stop no matter how many times I told her that the guy and I were only friends. We were more like brother and sister than anything else. The guy and I both ended up quitting the game though he did return for a bit and ended up changing servers and names to escape her and the damage she did to his reputation.

    I'm not sure if it counts as bullying per say, but I remember seeing a thing in WoW at one point where a member of a guild had died, and they were hosting an in game funeral service type thing for the member.. and people came and ruined it (killed the people attending and all).

    Also WoW related, I've heard of people getting harassed to a pretty extreme extent. Like blocking a person only to have the person make a new character and continue sending rude/nasty messages. Or people who used Real ID back when it was real name only for display, and then found people that harassed them based on Google search results (Twitter/Facebook). Not saying the people were smart that put their real name out there to people they didn't trust, but that doesn't negate the actions of those that abused it. I've also heard of (in PvP areas) one player following another around constantly and killing them until the player just gives up playing at that point in time.

    I've personally experienced players telling me I didn't earn gear I wore (in WoW), and that I was obviously carried through raids since I was female, regardless of what any meters said, or how I performed in a group. I generally shrugged it off and such as it wasn't my guild mates that said the things, and the players that did were few and far between. Back in my Shadowbane/Halo 2 time I'd often have people say really inappropriate things to me when they found out I was a girl, including some of my guild mates. Not sure if it counts as bullying, but it certainly didn't help to make me feel welcome or anything, and did eventually result in me abandoning my headset for consoles altogether. Behavior such as that has gotten a lot better over the years though, it's not gone entirely (there will always be some creepy guy), but I run into more nice people than I do people interested in my gender now.
