I'm gonna keep this short an simple, and I am well aware that this barely even fits in the S&I, it's just...
Why is it, that when someone reports someone under the reason "Bullying, Harassment, Hate Speech", with legitimate reason for doing so, NOTHING is done? All the other things I've reported someone for have been pretty much IMMEDIATELY attended to. But this? Apparently it doesn't really matter.
Bullying happens all over the place on ROBLOX.
Along with harassment,
And hate speech.
I also don't care if "it's the internet." People have emotions, and things like this can cause them to harm themselves.
So, as I said, it's barely a suggestion or an idea, and maybe it shouldn't even be in the S&I. But, that being said, there's no sub-forum that suits this thread better.
Suggestion (If you wanna call it that): Start doing something, will you? I'm sick of seeing this stuff all over the place on ROBLOX. |

They also need to make Cheating/exploiting more reactive as well. |

"They also need to make Cheating/exploiting more reactive as well."
Well, for this, you need evidence. If the evidence is there, it is almost always done.
Yes, I have had one issue where there was evidence of the person saying they did it, and nothing happened.
Personally, I think this is no where near as big of an issue as bullying and harassment though. |

"Everyone in the internet is a troll."
Yet no one likes to be treated negatively.
Sad how we've all done it at some point to one another, right? |

And as we've all done it, and all been the victim, it just goes to show the higher importance of this issue not only on ROBLOX, but everywhere.
This is ROBLOX though, and I suggest that the moderators start doing what they can to handle this. They read the reports, and I know they do. I can't see why nothing gets done about this. |

@Recounted
If you were able to beat them, that means you're the better person. The reason I say this is, before you say "don't judge a person by their amount of skill in something", I just want to point out that the people he was fighting again were equally, and EXPECTED to be (better/or equal to his level), which means they lack in their own value and should not own a war group with a respectable ammt of members, unless those members are asholes. |

Many servers I go into, someone is having a problem with what another player is saying or doing.
I don't know if it is just the games I've played or all a coincidence, but either way it shouldn't happen.

Let's not go off topic from the thread though.
Whether or not someone is the 'better person' isn't really the topic here. Being a good person is choice you make yourself, and rudeness, in my opinion, is like ignorance.
My goal is to at least make ROBLOX more friendly. I'd be naive to think on such a big site that it could be completely ended. But, it's pathetic how when you report someone for bullying, the moderators don't seem to care about it. |

I know this seems "off topic" but I think when you ban people there's a way to remove their chat as well. And roblox is a massive community filled with thousands of games. I completely agree with OP but you can ALSO leave some game is you're having issues. Running from problems in real life is bad, but on here, it's not. |

Support. I remember when I first joined, I was bullied online because of that. Now that I have been on for awhile, most people I meet know me for good sense of humor without bullying, or a great roleplayer if they met me at a roleplay and I was in a good one. However, I still see a lot of bullying happening.

Thank you for those who support this thread, despite it being a bit more of a complaint. |

Bullying on the internet is easily avoided.
You can:
-Go to a different website
-Ignore the user
-Realize that this isn't real life and the "bully" is hiding behind a screen
-Turn off the PC
-Go on a video game console
-Read
-Grow up

It seems like it more likely works on BC'ers then NBC'ers. I heard a lot of reports that they have been getting banned from being reported from a BC member,but not NBC'ers.
So... |

"-Go to a different website"
And if you're having fun on the website you are currently on?
"-Ignore the user"
Ignoring is easier than it sounds. Not everyone wishes to be stalked, harassed, etc. It gets to a point where you can't just 'ignore' it, especially when it's clear that you ignore because it bothers you.
"-Realize that this isn't real life and the "bully" is hiding behind a screen"
It doesn't mean they can't say anything. You don't gotta treat it like words can't hurt.
"-Turn off the PC"
Why should you have to turn off your computer?
"-Go on a video game console"
I don't really play video games, and some other people might now. Why should you have to change what you do because of someone else?
"-Read"
Once again, why should you have to change what you're doing because of someone else?
"-Grow up"
You have to 'grow up' for being bullied? Are you even serious right now? |

Let's not turn this into a BC-NBC war, and stick to what the thread is about. |

Ignoring is much easier than it sounds over the internet.
It's hard in real life, but it is ridiculously easy.
Realizing that the internet acts as a shield to some is very easy. |

"Ignoring is much easier than it sounds over the internet."
No, it really isn't. Before you start directing things at me and telling me what to do, this is a matter of me seeing others getting bullied, reporting, and watching nothing happen.
There are really sensitive people, who cannot take insults and just ignore them. I have a few things that I personally take offense to strongly, and very fast at that.
"It's hard in real life, but it is ridiculously easy."
It's not 'ridiculously easy' anywhere.
"Realizing that the internet acts as a shield to some is very easy."
Ever heard of cyber-bullying? |
|

cyber bullying is not a common thing. Also, the bully usually knows the victim in real life.
If the bully does not know the victim in real life, the victim probably gave out personal info, a stupid thing to do over the internet.
You need to be smart over the internet, rules cant shield everyone... |
