I hope I get used to Windows 7.  Still trying to figure out how to get a toolbar and where the heck my bookmarks are?  Also, it doesn't update with Windows updates very well and I have to do them manually, so may I pick your brain on how to make this work like XP used too in a private IM?  I used XP for over six years!  I miss my toolbar and other features that I knew where the heck they were.

I do not understand how you are confusing an operating system (XP v Win7) with the browser you use.  Unless you are using IE in which case I suggest you try Mozilla's Firefox.

Never mind.  I will ask Ceka in an IM.

Thought you were going to say Europe for one moment then :smileywink:

No, no, no. Europe is that really big country across the English Ocean where they all eat horses and have hairy armpits. That's not part of Britain. It's part of Asia I think. Bloody savages the lot of them, I know that much.

Anyway ... Bally ho! Time for tea and cakes!

@names

doesn't matter if it's saved on the login screen or displayed in the title bar, if you can sit in front of the computer, navigating to the user settings directory will not only give you the name of the users account on SL, but ALL names used from that computer (and seriously, if they're your supposed friend, you'd probably tell them your screen name for the asking so they can hang out)

Just so all the facts are out there.. the author of this post on "Cyber Bullying" this person lives in a glass house and they throw stones.. thats all I'm going to say here.

It's only cyber bullying to them when in fact the bully themselves finds someone they can't bully then they want help LOL.

 

[Harlee Fallen]

well you havent seen the alleged bullies blog have you? she's already posted about this thread, as i expected she would do, i dont communicate with this psychopath at all but i have to acknowledge it for the sake of everyone who is being bullied in world by a malicious animal like that.

[Harlee Fallen]

see what i mean....my 'alleged' stalker has followed me here....

[Griffin Ceawlin]

I have. I've also seen yours. If you can't stand the heat...

[Harlee Fallen]

then you'll see that i never started it, and my 4 posts compared to there 60 doesnt really show much...

 

also i've already tried to comprimise with this 'person' and they had stopped...then less then 24 hours they were blogging again. i'm not here to argue with people, never said i was an angel.

i also have a right to let everyone know the truth if lies are being spread about me, also if you read her whole blog you'll see she's been harassing people long before me.

[Harlee Fallen]

i'd just like to stress that this thread is suppose to be about cyber bullying in general, anything personal or otherwise will have to be addressed elsewhere were i'm not in contact with a notorious cyber bully

[Pamela Galli]

In general?  Then why a link to the blog of your alleged bully?

[Harlee Fallen]

the link wasnt to the 'bullies' blog actually..it was to my blog were there is a link for people to make donations to anti-cyber bullying organizations...and me sharing my experience...and how i feel the rules should be different.

[Void Singer]

sorry, playing victim gets you no points here.... you wanted the court of public opinion, you got it.

survey says:
Emo Drama Mongering

[Harlee Fallen]

actually i never asked your opinion on my dilema, all your doing is giving her motivation to continue.

[Griffin Ceawlin]

*sigh*

OK, Harlee. Have it your way. You're the victim in this, and nothing you've done has contributed to it. Right?

Good. Now that that's settled, a bit of advice from US-CERT:

Avoid escalating the situation - Responding with hostility is likely to provoke a bully and escalate the situation. Depending on the circumstances, consider ignoring the issue. Often, bullies thrive on the reaction of their victims.

[Harlee Fallen]

been there done that doesnt work...anyway back on subject please...

 

do you think SL should be stricter or not?

young people play SL aswell and there exposed to that kind of hostility, doesnt seem to be 'right'

[Knowl Paine]

The Terms of Service and the Community Standards provide sufficient protections against bullying of any kind. 

File a Jira and request for the specific word "bullying" to be added to Policy if the term is not already included.

I cannot think of how to discuss being stricter about something that is already Prohibited.

The choosen Title is misleading, it appears to suggest that LL Policy is insufficient. I would recommend a new title for discussion about the social, cultural, religious and economic drivers used by the Bully's parents to raise their child.

i think you both should just AR each other for harrassment and see who is left standing..

seriously though all kidding aside..

the forum will always look at it as there are always two sides to a story..

thats pretty much what enters the minds of people that have seen a lot of these threads like these..

it may not be the case but it looks more like you two are going toe to toe rather than one picking on the other and the other  curling up in a ball..

i'm not saying this to sound cruel..i am just saying that this is what it pictures as and that probably bringing it to the forums will only make matters worse..

you should be going to LL instead..more wil get done there than here..in here it's onyl gonna drag it out worse for whoever the victim is..if there is just one..

One user agrees wholeheartedly. 

I'm beginning to feel that I'm in the middle of a "My farts smell better than yours!" competition.

 

[Eloise Baily]

But mine DO smell better than yours.

Any chap should know that ladies bottom-breathe sugarbags.

Fine. On subject: NO.

No.

I think most twelve-year-olds know what to do when they're being "cyber-bullied." In real life. You know... by people that they know, go to school with, that know where they live, etc. This is your imaginary persona that is allegedly being "bullied."

As you fancy yourself some sort of SL "porn star," I'll assume that you're an adult. You might try acting like it.

[Harlee Fallen]

so you dont think people should have stricter cyber bully laws?

so only people under the age of 13 can be bullied on the internet and nobody can find out (real) information on the internet about people they dont 'know'? lol

you've been as helpful as 2 left shoes.

 

[Griffin Ceawlin]

Your question was: "do you think SL should be stricter or not?" My answer to that is still "No." And you are certainly not the poster child for cyber-bullying that is likely to change my mind.
