Default How to stop bullying on a forum?

Is there any way of doing so? And are the mods allowed to turn a blind eye to it?

If you are referring to this forum, I would hope that you or anyone else either experiencing, or seeing any form of bullying would contact either myself or any of the other moderators immediately by pm so we can resolve the matter. Bullying is absolutely not tolerated here, and swift measures will be taken with anyone who steps over the line.

If you have any general questions about bullying here, please also feel free to contact me.

If it's on any other forum, I would do the same

Just thought if you have gone down the reporting posts & PM's to the Mods & are getting no where, there must be someone who owns the forum if you know who that is you could contact them pointing out the posts & PM's.

I'm not talking about here though lol

Each forum should have an administrator who should mediate what their moderators do and act accordingly if they receive a complaint. For instance on Hamster Central that is Fluffy and he can be contacted on the 'contact us' e mail at the bottom of the page

In all honesty I don't think I'd want to be part of a forum like that. It's pointless going anywhere that people deliberately make anyone feel bad, and no one does anything to stop it. Those that stand by and watch it happen are just as bad. You must of course do what is right for you, but being continuously upset by people with no intention of changing their approach will only drain you more

If I were you then I would leave, forums are as much of a community but should treat all members with respect and politeness even if there are differences of opinion.

Lots of people forget there are people at the other end of the screen and wouldnt behave like that in real life.

I have been victim to rumour spreading etc, I let it get to me then I realised I didn't know or care about these people, walk away from it x
