Is Indirect Targeting Reportable?

[cadence]

There are a group of members on here that are constantly trying to start drama. No matter what I say, they find a way to bend it so it sounds offensive and then proceed to indirectly insult me in their status updates. They never comment on my stuff it's all indirect, so Is that reportable? I have no real way to prove that they are targeting me, I just happen to know they are because they hate my guts and are triggered by my every word.

I may not be a mod but I would think it is. Its cyberbullying without saying it to you in your face... I could be wrong but you never know. It could also be harassment...


Like I said i'm not a mod but I'd think it's reportable.

You are more than welcome to send us a report, but without concrete evidence, we cannot handle the situation.  We will act only if we see any rule violations.

I really don't know. Because what they say really makes me feel bad and I'm sick of the constant drama they cause. And they're so passive aggressive it doesn't even look like they're insulting me, even though I know they're doing it intentionally because they know it hurts me and gets under my skin.

I guess I'll just suffer until the block function becomes a thing.

 

[Chordling]

Don't allow it to get under your skin.  Just ignore it.  Simple. There is also an ignore feature which works as a strong substitute.

I do ignore them all, but I can still see their posts when looking through the Forums Index. And I don't reply to them often and try to ignore them, but it's hard. I come here to have fun and see their negativity all the time and it kinda ruins my mood. 

 

[Chordling]

I'm not entirely sure if the block feature which may come will be of any more help when it comes to the status updates.  As I mentioned before, you are more than welcome to submit a report, and the staff will discuss the case.  Otherwise, just ignore it.  Focus on the fun stuff.  Not the bad stuff.

Wouldn't a block function prevent them from seeing my profile and me from seeing theirs?

 

[Chordling]

Yes, it may, but it might not prevent you from seeing the public status update bar from the forum index, which you explained as the main root of your problem.  The logistics of the block feature cannot be confirmed because we simply haven't found one.  When it is implemented on the site, the actual function will be better understood.

Perhaps screenshots of previous harassment might help?

I say send the report and plead your case to the admins, indirect harassment is harder to deal with but still, cyber bullying is cyber bullying no matter how you look at it.

Just send a report/message and we will look into it .


Be as detailed as possible with links, names and all the offending material.
