Hello, my name is CrispDesire. I have recently noticed that alot of people getting cyber bullied, not just on MCSG. Everywhere, every site I go to.

Why Have I wrote this thread?
I have not been here awhile, I have met a lot of great people however, I have also met a fair amount of horrible people that I will not name or speak of because of their own safety, as much as they have abused/hated on me I do not wish the same for them. It is about time we 'stood up' to these pathetic people and showed them what Bullying does to anyone who is a victim to it, this thread may show them

Anyway, I think it's about time we addressed a few things, we started this community from nothing we all came together to make this place become what it was supposed to be,and it became something far better. However, we are destroying this community, whether you're just saying 'rekt m9' or you are being fully abusive you're still being abusive! WE CAN CHANGE !

Back when I used to play with my friends I used to use the words 'good game' to genuinely say we played a good game, we would then tell the person we beat the hearts we had remaining and they would reply with 'Ohh man you wrecked me! <3' and then we would truce next game and make a friend ;)

We can bring those times back, we can make the community better again by eradicating this small part of this community and showing them the pain they cause people. Just watch this video and listen to what he has to say as he is a smart man.


What can Cyber-Bullying lead to?
It is hard to understand why people commit suicide, but 'Suicide' is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the CDC. For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7 percent have attempted it.

Bully-related suicide can be connected to any type of bullying, including physical bullying, emotional bullying, cyberbullying orcirculating suggestive photos or messages about a person. Most online gaming communities have more serious problems with bullying and suicide related to bullying, we don't want to be one of those communities do we?


Tips to Stop Cyber-bullying.
Walking with Awareness, Calm, Respect, and Confidence - If you show yourself as a confident player in the community, if a player is causing issues in a server do not give them the satisfaction of fighting back, get evidence of them doing so then move away from that server an the people who might cause trouble.
Leaving in a Powerful, Positive Way - The best self-defense tactic is called 'target denial', which means 'don’t be there', If someone says on teamspeak or ingame "Come see this banter between thing 1 and thing 2!", ignore it and continue the way you are, this makes you less of a target. Do not get involved in other peoples arguments! - Thats the job as staff, contact us In a hub or on teamspeak (ts.mcsg.in / ts.mcgamer.net).
Using Your Voice - Speaking up loudly calls attention to a bullying problem and can help to prevent it from becoming worse. Suppose you are being harassed or bullied in a teamspeak channel or you see someone doing it to someone else, Speak out! - Telling a mod via pokes is an easy way to do this, however you can also stand up to the user yourself, tell them what they are doing wrong!​
Being Persistent in Getting Help - Players who are being bullied need to be able to tell Mods, friends and other staff members what is happening in the moment clearly and calmly and persistently even if these mods are very distracted or rude and even if asking for help has not worked before. - You can contact a range of people I know in the staff team, when I began getting bullied I went to OhFancy for help, and he helped me work it all out, any member of staff is willing to listen to you in these situations!​

Using Self-Defense as a Last Resort! - You can do this by showing them there flaws in certain situations, however you must not take it to a point where you abuse them. - This is a LAST resort!


This shows that not only the big things hurt, the Small comments on threads and videos or even pictures can hurt someone, think about what you comment before you post it!
Thank you for you time, share this thread around and help us make MCGamer a bully-free community.

Thanks. I just find it really sad that people get "Enjoyment" out of bullying people online. It drives me crazy, but thanks <3
It is a very big problem I find on the internet. I am sure it has happened to everyone once in someone's life. As we have to understand that people feel superior and given the power to bully. Reasons why people bully is because they may encounter a real-life problem at home or something has affected them. When bad things happen to someone it angers them.

Now Cyber bullying has occurred to me, and what I did was report it to an administrator. What I also suggest is to talk to a family member or a very close friend. They are big helpers, which may comfort you. Everyone says this but "Ignore them" They are only trying to hurt you. By avoiding them will make them feel like "I'm wasting my time." The they will leave you alone.

This thread is a great piece which shows everyone how to deal with bullies. It gives them an idea of what happens everyday. I dearly hope we are never cyber bullying. I wish we could all get along, and enjoy the gaming experience a bit more. Thanks.;)

I can't thank you enough, that practically summed up my whole long boring thread. I do wish MCSG was back to way it was, but you guys are staff are making it better everyday. Also I got cyber bullied about 3 years ago via Facebook. People called me names and stuff because I was a "nerd" I ignored it for like 6 months until, I couldn't handle it and I went to the main bully and through a few punches. I got suspended, and from this day I havent got bullied, but never fight anybody. Learn from my mistakes and tell somebody you trust about it and they will help you with out violence. You kinda didn't need to know that, just felt like sharing it sorry. Hope you didn't mind. Thanks again <3

I really appreciate when people make threads like this: it highlights people in the community who try to make things better and this is a huge problem all over the internet that resides even in our own group. Thank you very much :D
