DO users realise that cyberbullying is a criminal act and should more be done in terms of legislation?

Yes, i would agree to a certain extent.
However, we are supposed to be all adults on here. And from what I've seen it isn't just one user who does all the bullying...others do it too - in a more under-hand way..

Bullying is bullying, regardless of whether it is done in the real world or in cyberspace. There is no excuse for any type of bullting-it is disgusting and causes a massive amount of distress to the victim.

Hi Gillon

Nice to see you around, shame about the circumstances. I'm with Haz on this one. This type of bullying has gone on for too long

It would probably be a hard case to pursue, but in the meantime users do have the power to act against a member they believe is persecuting another and should use it. I'm with Haz, too many stand by, or actively encourage certain members to bait others. I suppose they see it as sport, just as they see the witch hunts they pursue as nothing more than play.
