Cyber Bullying VampireFreaks is proud to be a site where users can be accepted for their differences, and escape the everyday 'normal life' of being judged or picked on.
I realize there have been a few users who have been trying to bully other users, pick on them and make fun of them. We have been actively monitoring the site and the line has been drawn, we will be cracking down on these offensive users and making VF a more friendly and accepting environment. As always we actively encourage freedom of speech, but not at our community's expense and not at the expense of other users. Thanks for your support and we do encourage everyone to be courteous to their fellow VF members and help encourage a friendly community. =)
DivineDeathStalker posted one of my personal Journal entries in a cult over no reason. Just to feel better about his life, and I was his friend. I never betrayed him.
I'll even admit, tears I wanted to even shed of the betrayal over my indifferences with being an anti-social and asking if some girl liked me or not in my Journal.
But still, do not abuse terms. Bullying is just slang from the idea of the animal: Bull. For how they hammer with horns into other idividuls over fear. But if you apply it a human being, it is to say one for no reason trashes a person's personal psychological issues. Just to cause PAIN.
There is free-speech, to stand agains those who do for just pain. Then there is free-speech to tell all of the pussies in life, to welcome them to PLANET EARTH.
leave a comment>So, free speech is limited to what you personally feel is an acceptable way of expressing oneself? Yes. That is one aspect of free speech.
Zewelander is correct.
Considering like a quarter of the site are trolls and half are overly-sensitive, this is going to be retarded.
It's bad enough that people were suspended for using pictures of someone in an icon when it's their fault they were put on the internet in the first place.
The beautiful and unique thing about this site is people who are bad ass mother fuckers that speak their mind, the only downfall is the people who take it personally.
Maybe you should suspend them for whining instead
So you're gonna go kick some of the most active member off the site?
I agree that bullying is a shitty thing to do, but most 'bullies' on here are just trolling because people are so offended and easy to wind up on here. IT'S THE INTERNET. People shouldn't let the 'opinions' of people on the internet affect them.
Also, Jet, is this the reason you modefagged Anonymous so there were no posts? Surely writing anonymously about someone is better than going and 'bullying' them.
I think some of, if not most of the cyberbullies do it because if they try to have a normal conversation with another person that they won't get attention or they lack the ability to keep one's attention with their uninteresting topics.
Cyberbullies always get responses because once one realizes they aren't going to stop and start to ignore them, they move onto the next target until they get bored all together and leave.
A good tactic is to give them nothing to feed off of.

Like it or not, "snitches" are a necessity in life (especially in the real world). Do you know how many murderers, rapists, etc. would have never been convicted if nobody had been willing to testify against them? You're preaching a mindset that just doesn't cut it.
then you dont promote freedom of speech at all. the idea of freedom of speach is being able to say what ever you want when ever you want how ever you want to whom ever you want.
peopel are going to judge you. how do people meet otheres on this site. they judge the pic read the profile and judge wheather or not that person is worth talking to or just another pretty face in the crowd. you cant handle some one picking on you? ummmm both sides should grow the fuck up. its ganna happen. its life. there is a block button and a report user button for a reason.
crap like this is why i believe this site should be 18 and up. of course if you did that you would loose have the population so i can see why its not ganna happen.
I (am), dementia in your mind, creator of decisions, violent visions and lies. Blind! Blind, your eyes forever blind, reality is dead by your force fed demise.
Finally, Thank you. I'm sick of seeing people get bullyed on this site. Yeah yeah freedom of speach/joking around but when it goes as far as being harassed on the site to the point of suicide. It needs to stop. Cyberbullying/bullying is for cowards.
So I'm a little fuzzy on the message of this post. Are we being told we have to be friendly and we aren't allowed to express negative opinions or be critical of people?
The matter of this problem, what if the judges are true hypocrites? They tell now for this [new] enforcement, gives permission under their own view, of who is and is not a bully?
Welcome to faschism. Since such needs judgement and there are so many variations that counter or counter-act the issues.
IE: You're an idiot for alone your use of terms are inccorrect.
NO I'M NOT! You bullyy!!!!
See? Judges over this matter cannot differentiate what is and what is not, for free-speech, is with one's words of any sort or kind that state views.
Free-speech: Free for freedom of all boundaries, speech for context or paragraph to state points or views. Harassment has Its variations along the lines with whiners.
I think it's unfair for one to point out other people's flaws when they have plenty themselves. I don't go out of my way to start name-calling people because I realize no one is perfect, myself included.
Peace, Love & Rock N' Roll...

So, by your logic, someone going out of their way to verbally harass someone just for being, let's say, a homosexual, is free speech, and not bullying?
Actually it's free speech, but (and I don't know if this is different in America) it's discrimination, which violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms :/
Just throwing that out there.
But honestly, how often do people get "bullied" for being homosexual on this site?
Seriously.
People get "bullied" mainly because they're lardasses, idiots and just generally annoying as fuck to be around.
I shall quote Girl, Interrupted by saying that these people who are "cyber bullying" are just saying all of the things that everyone knows and nobody will say.
"I'm glad that you're finally addressing this in the open Jet. I've seen a lot of douchebags picking on people who really don't deserve it just because they're a bunch of losers who can only feel good about their lives by bringing other people down.
It's sad, and the users who come here to escape that in real life really don't need assholes putting them through shit here as well."
Wow, that is exactly what this journal is about, isn't it? Being judgmental and negative? You aren't allowed to do that, stop it. And who is allowed to decide if it's "called for" or not? I take it you are the judge that decides if someone goes too far or not?
Just because you are a cyber goth does not mean you have to be a cyber bully. This goes for everyone else to, just because you are sat behind a computer does not mean its not real.
For what, stating my mind? Section 2(b) of the Charter states that "Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: ... freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication."
I am simply expressing my thoughts, beliefs, and opinions.
The amount of hypocrisy in this post is stifling.
It turned into:
"Yeah, screw those damn cyber bullys! They are (insert negative subjective insult here) and should have (insert negative, likely violent, verb here) done to them! They are responsible for all our problems! Kick them off the site and discriminate against them!"
That sounds pretty uhhh... well, exactly like what you guys are complaining about.
Sounds like a bunch of Commy b.s. to me. We don't invite people to be dumb asses. We simply point it out. And for the younger members, maybe they shouldnt be on a site that has cults dedicated to sexual fetishes, vulgarities, and the like. What the hell is wrong with you people? Grow a pair of balls and stand up for yourself. Don't cry or slit your fucking wrists... Nobody pointed a gun at your head and made you come here. If you post something on the wrong forum, you're going to get cut down. Plain and Simple. If you post one of your "precious little poems" you are inviting critisizm. Are you going to be handing out gold stars to everybody now? Fuck that. Wow...this place has been going to shit for a long time. And all you whiny people have been part of the problem. If you don't want to be called out on your stupidity, make more of an effort to NOT be a retard.

"So I'm a little fuzzy on the message of this post. Are we being told we have to be friendly and we aren't allowed to express negative opinions or be critical of people?
That's what it looks like to me"
More along the lines of being a support group for those who do not agree with your opinion.

Cyberbullying/bullying is for cowards.
