Moderation Complaints Megathread v.2.0

[jwhitehorn]

Binks. Stop. I am not here to play with you. I am not interested in jokingly looking through your photoshopped pictures. I am asking you to stop harassing a forum user. This kind of behavior has been problematic in the past and I'd really like it to not be problematic in the future. I don't want to hear an excuse saying that 'it's because my google has a different search history than you' for why the results are entirely different between my search and yours. I also am not interested in seeing the picture 'cleverly' hidden on top of another picture like that.

Why is binks in trouble for posting a picture that I have hosted on Merciless Midgets site of the chief?

Also Jordan coles tried to report one of my Youtube videos for "Cyber Bullying" him. I don't think the charges stuck for Youtube but is that what is happening here? Is Binks Cyber Bullying Jordan Coles and can he not take it anymore? I think its sad when small emo children take internet pranks seriously and if Jordan Coles comes out and says that he thinks he is being cyber bullied and his feelings can't take it I'm sure Binks is a good guy who will stop. Perhaps there should be some kind of "Safe Word" that people like Jordan can say and when and if a forum user says it then you have to stop whatever it is you are doing even if it wans't meant to hurt their feelings?

I'm sure Binks is a good guy who will stop.

I am indeed a good guy. If he at all feels like I'm cyber bullying him and comes out and says this I will stop.

[colesie]

There is a safe word. Stop.

[Binks]

There is a safe word. Stop.

Jordan do you feel that I was cyber bullying you? I did not mean to hurt your feelings.

If this all isn't a some sort of trick I will stop, but I need to hear it from you.

Good evening,

Are we really having this discussion? I saw both pictures prior to them being censored - none made any claim to be a picture of Jordan Coles (nor any other forum user). They also did not have any identifying features that could reasonably lead to a reasonable person coming to the conclusion they were of any specific individual.

How is this considered harassment, but Coles needlessly mocking someone for their religious beliefs is not?

How is this considered harassment, but Coles making anti-semetic comments is not?

How is this considered harassment, but Coles posting NSFW gifs is not?

I'm not suggesting Coles be prevented from doing any of the above, as stupid and juvenile as they are. What I am suggesting is that you're applying a much more stringent set of standards to Binks than you are to your friend and fellow moderator.

In short, you're losing your **** over nothing, and need to get a grip.

Faithfully,

I'm afraid I have to disagree. Please look at some of these facts.

Nearly 43% of kids have been bullied online. 1 in 4 has had it happen more than once.
70% of students report seeing frequent bullying online.
Over 80% of teens use a cell phone regularly, making it the most common medium for cyber bullying.
68% of teens agree that cyber bullying is a serious problem.
81% of young people think bullying online is easier to get away with than bullying in person.
90% of teens who have seen social-media bullying say they have ignored it. 84% have seen others tell cyber bullies to stop.
Only 1 in 10 victims will inform a parent or trusted adult of their abuse.
Girls are about twice as likely as boys to be victims and perpetrators of cyber bullying.
About 58% of kids admit someone has said mean or hurtful things to them online. More than 4 out 10 say it has happened more than once.
About 75% have visited a website bashing another student.

If Jordan Coles feels that he was cyber bullied that puts him in the 58% of young adults who said that they have had hurtful things happen to them online. He is not alone and now more than ever needs support. What we are shrugging off as just a report could actually be a cry for help! Ignoring it is not the right answer. We need to make Jordan feel comfortable enough here to feel like he is not being bullied.

Also I would like to suggest we make a thread called the Trust Tree for Jordan:

It's called double standard. That and Coles can dish it out but can not take it when it is he who is the one being messed with.

[Ikpeip]

By your definition Chief, Coles is engaging in cyber-bullying himself.

Salem is a harsh land. The Salem forums are a harsh place. Acting a ***** only to turn around and cry foul when you get needled in return is pitiful.

Gonna go ahead and quote both of these for truth.
