How do you deal with Cyberbullying?

[Thomasss]

So this is something that I have not seen here, and it's something that I have not gone through, however bullying itself has been apart of my life for as long as I could imagine, so I want to see everyone else's thoughts and idea's on how ya'll can combat cyberbullying on forums.

On your forum, how do you handle Cyberbullying? Usually the rules that most people have prevent most of what cyberbullying is "considered" however not everything. If someone approached you about being bullied, what would you do? How would you react?

And to add to the topic, what can people do, as far as advice goes, to combat cyberbullying on their forum? What do you suggest people start doing, whether it's their forum or not, to try and keep cyberbullying down and out of their communities?

I have no time for bullying, be it online or in the real world. I've never experienced it myself, but have strived to remove it when encountered on a location I had necessary powers to act accordingly.

When I was approached by a member of the community, I asked for proof and acted upon said material, confronting the accused. After that, I urged said offender to cease or be banned. It all depends on the severity of said acts too.

I would advise anyone to simply ignore any attempts to draw emotion or a response. The more time you provide folk who engage in bullying, the more they'll target you. Report them and move along.

Cyberbullying is a nasty thing. I don't tolerate it whatsoever. I don't care who the person is. If i ever caught a member cyberbullying I can assure you I will be kicking them to the curb real fast.

I'm not too sure on what one individual can do to combat cyberbullyng other than ignoring it and reporting it to someone trusted.
