Bullying in Gamespot

There is too much bullying in Gamespot.

What is the purpose of this forum if the users here don't know how to treat each other with respect?

its usually the guys who have a lot of posts but think theyre too good to post their own topics who are the grinches of gamespotJustSignedUp

I get stabbed at here and there, but I really couldn't care less what people who live thousands of miles away think of me. I can just close the site down and be free of it. Real life bullying is the real deal, and thankfully I never had any serious problems with that.

Anyone with a uncommon philosophy is treated harshly, respect is hard to earn.

So true.

You can't do anything out of the ordinary without someone or some people attacking you for it.

I never noticed...

But I do think we should be nicer to each other.

I thought there was a bit.

Couldn't really care less if I get any abuse from random people on here, its an internet forum, and you will always get people who act like dicks over the internet, it's not like I'll see anyone on here in real life.

that's no way to build a proper forum. censorship is needed, even the original Greek forums recognized that.

I don't think I have it in me to take someone's insult on a forum seriously

Yup.

I agree. There is far too much bullying on here. People don't realize that cyber bullying can be just as emotionally damaging as real life bullying. Yes, they can always close the page and leave. But why should they have to? 

Unfortunately it's far too easy to be an ass now. Folks just need to get thicker skin

Quit your bitchin'

The internet in general is an incredibly rough place. This place isn't that bad all things considered. It still requires a relatively thick skin, I'm not sure if the admin want it that way though.

It adds character. 

I do wonder if a lack of anonymity could change the ease at which people become online sociopaths. Not that anyone would be willing to give that up.

I wonder if there is anything else that could make people stop and consider that the hurtful thing they are about to say is to someone who is not all that different from themselves.

No. Examples: myspace, facebook. People will be jerks, anonymity has nothing to do with it.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent TC.

Bullying? I know that people often will have different oppinions on here, sometimes people say things that hurts others although it was not the meaning behind the words.

But rarely have I noticed bullying.

At worst we have the Forum Trolls, but they are pretty much just the rambling madmen of any kind of forums, more or less the nets Village Idiot.

Maybe I simply don't notice such things anymore :\ makes me kind of sad to think of -.-

i'm familiar with a 'certain' bully on OT :lol:

Doesn't this apply to the entire internet in general?
