Game Discussion / Re: Opinion On Bullying On FeralHeart?
« on: February 16, 2014, 07:28:20 pm »
As others have said, bullying anywhere is unacceptable and should definitely be taken seriously - and this is definitely something I feel strongly about as someone who has been bullied in both real life and online.

In fact, bullying online can be more severe than in real life in many cases. For some reason, people think that hiding behind the anonymity of a screen gives them the right to make others feel awful about themselves. That's absolutely unacceptable. Just because you don't know this person in real life does not mean they don't have feelings. Most people come onto FH to find roleplays and make friends, so what's the point in bullying them? You're all going for the same goal, so instead in being an insufferable jerk, how about you introduce yourself to them, perhaps.

 If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

To be honest? I can't stand the term 'illiterate' in the first place. The definition for illiterate is as follows:
a person who is unable to read or write.

Nowhere in this term does it say that someone with a lesser ability is illiterate. You can, in most cases, understand what the person is saying and they can understand you - that isn't illiterate, it's simply having a lesser skill in the English language. Calling a person 'illiterate' for having this lesser skill is not a way to encourage them to attempt them to improve their skill, but rather drives them away from this game and likely gives them a negative view on the community and its members. In reality, most people in this community are alright, but the select group of people who are constantly jumping to the word 'illiterate' (and plenty of other rude terms too) can tend to make the whole bunch look bad. In the case of the term illiterate, I think people really need to watch the way that they use it.

As for wolfspeaking, I personally don't like it but I would not insult one who does. If you don't wish to use wolfspeak that is totally fine as it is your choice, but in no way does this make it acceptable to insult other people for doing something that you aren't particularly fond of. On the same subject, it's also not okay for a wolfspeaker to look down upon someone who does not wolfspeak. This goes back to the same thing as the reversed roles: don't like it, fine, but don't insult those who don't do the same thing as you.

Overall I would say that my gist is that people need to be a lot less judgmental, because it isn't giving the overall community a good appearance. Whether it be looking down upon 'illiterates,' insulting wolfspeakers, or anything of the sort, it's not something that should be encouraged, but rather something that should be frowned upon - in my opinion at least.

I haven't been on the game very long but I, too, have noticed this.

People always talk about how the mods 'don't try hard enough' or 'don't do their jobs well enough." Well, I'd like to see them try to moderate a game with over 20,000 users--it isn't easy, to say it simply. They can't be at every map, at every location, and every second of the day. That's why we have the option to report users who break rules: to help the staffers. They can't do it alone, so instead of complaining, people need to do something and help out.

Thanks, everyone!
I'm glad that people here seem to be a lot friendlier than the majority of people in-game. Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but it didn't feel very welcoming to have people shouting vulgarity at me for not leaving 'their territory.'
