I was bullied so many times here that I can only agree with you. DA, we need to do something against this issue NOW

Can I buy your big pile of bullshit? I need it for my garden.

I agree with you.
There was once a time here on DA that such journals would result in someone being banned. This was changed about 4 years ago, maybe 5.
DA does need to take harassing and bullying a lot more serious. The facts don't lie and people have been murdered on this website who have been bullied. I think generally though that if you honestly feel that you are being bullied then you need to report that ASAP to the administration via the held desk. Do also as some members have suggested and use the block tools which you have at your availability. If you feel someone is block evading then report them asap and they will be dealt with. DA doesn't look kindly on that, especially in matters of harassment.

Ignoring and blocking is the best option. Once the bullies block evade and continue harassing you by finding other ways to contact you, then that's when it's serious for dA to step in.

You want to try running a worldwide website, be my guest. It's not the easy pansy job you seem to think it is.

Welcome to the internet. People are asses. Even if they get banned, they're just going to come back on another account, over and over and over again. It's not that hard to simply ignore them and move on. If you're offended by every person who's even remotely rude, the internet's not the place for you.

If there's a cyber bully, report the loser, block them, and move on. Not that hard. It's some random stranger who you don't even know and they apparently have no life. Why would you take anything they say seriously?

If you're going to be a pussy about it and can't handle it then you should get off the internet till you're more mature and can deal with random people on the internet. The internet isn't your dreamworld where you can escape everyday life and do whatever you want without people responding. And I'm not saying that to be mean, rude or 'bully' you, I just find people who trivialise bullying generally annoying.

Sentence structure, spelling and grammar are something you need to work on terribly.

DA really needs to crack down on cyber bullies. I've been talking to victims and DA does not seem to care. The bullies can put up slandering journals wreak peoples lives yet da refuses to remove them. It's like they support cyber bullies. If they wanted to they could remove them, but they are either too lazy or don't care about members that are being bullied.

First, let us go over the obvious. A comma is not an acceptable substitute for a full stop. Only proper nouns are meant to be capitalized when it is not the beginning of a sentence; really is an adverb, not a proper noun.

Come on, DA! Show that you care; do something about these cyber bullies. Stop letting them get away with it! Ban them, or continue to support cyber-bullying and slander. I will be doing a petition to get DA to change there rules for cyber bullying. If someone stalks and puts up slandering journals</b>, they should be removed or banned as well. They do it for deviations why not journals?

'Come on' used in the manner you have is an interjection, and as you are directing it towards DeviantART, that thought should be grouped and capped with an exclamation point to clarify it as something you want heard. You also want to take care not to confuse words, as a partition and a petition are two completely separate things. Consistency is another thing you need to be aware of. If you are going to abbreviate deviantART as DA, make sure you stick with that manner of abbreviating it. Another thing to note is that when you are complaining about an issue as big as bullying, it would be pertinent to post examples of what is going on, and not just make claims. Proof is very important if you don't want people to see you as someone blowing things out of proportion.

Ultimately, if you don't care to put an effort into what you write, nobody will care about what you have to say. You should remember this in the future.

At this point, you are probably reading my comment and thinking that I am nothing but a 'Grammar Nazi' and a bully. What I have really done is critiqued your posting. Many instances of perceived 'cyber bullying' comes from users who act childishly when presented with criticism. They see someone who criticizes as a hateful person who does not think their art is the greatest thing to grace everyone's eyes. More often they will say something stupid like "Go away if you don't like it," and ignore what I have actually said. For example, you might completely ignore the advice I have given to improve your writing, and interpret my message as an accusation of being a brainless illiterate.

Things often blow up around such occurrences. The artist will often simply block the person providing critique but other times they'll make a journal about how x user is being mean. Often, the artist's friends will take this as an attack order and begin 'white knighting', harassing the critiquing user in turn. These things often devolve into harassment contests with animosity ever increasing. This often leads to things being said.

Other times, users will observe such occurrences, and realize that the artist is not a nice person that only cares if you worship the ground they walk on. This often leads to the artist being shunned by groups and cliques within the community. Is it perhaps mean for them to do that? It quite possibly is. Unfortunately, that is the risk posed when you act in such a manner. DeviantART is as much a social site as it is a community. If you behave in a childish manner, you'll often find yourself alienating yourself from the community.

Finally, you have what is commonly referred to as trolling. You will often have users who seek out users such as the example artist described. They seek entertainment, and they know that the childish behavior of such artists can provide that entertainment. This is because they are predictable. You might think that this is cruel and unfair, but again, the artist drew this undue attention upon themselves.

I've seen very few true instances of bullying here on deviantART during the Seven years I've spent across two accounts as part of this community. Hardly any of that was ultimately life-wrecking. The internet is but a microcosm of the real world. It's still survival of the fittest. The ill-adjusted attract predators. It's as simple as that.

The problem is that most of the people crying about 'cyber bullying' are all part of the same mollycoddled generation. They grow up with a computer and have a near constant access to online communities. Because of this, the don't have a firm grip of reality. The internet becomes a shield of anonymity that they see as a license to act like spoiled children. They come to see the opinions of strangers on the internet—and that's all they ultimately are, the opinions of strangers—as every bit as important as the opinions of real people in their lives, if not more.

By now, you probably think I support 'cyber bullying', but really? I don't. I grew up in the generation directly before the generation of social media. I grew up with a computer, but there was no MySpace or Twitter anything like that until I was in my teens. Additionally, having grown up as the victim of physical bullying and being the outsider for most of my developmental years, I find it hard to accept the pleas of people who let strangers on the internet drive them to self harm. Having strangers being mean to you on the internet is nothing compared to having your head slammed repeatedly into the pavement and beaten bloody.

That being said, I feel obliged to repeat what others have already told you. If you are being truly harassed by a user, block their account and move on. If harassment continues through third-parties or sock-puppet accounts, block the accounts and file a report with the +helpdesk. The important part is that you need to move on. The opinions of strangers should only be used to gauge how you might improve your work. If you find that the opinion of a stranger matters enough to you that you 'feel bad' or consider self harm, you need to get off the internet and get a dose of reality, or the real world will eat you alive.

Please have a pleasant day.
