What's everyone opinion on online cyberharrasment,cyberstalking and cyber bulling.I was a victim of cyberharrasment,bullying and stalking on 2 site loveshack and enotalone because i was a virgin and spoke about it. The moderator did nothing to my cyberharrassor but i was victimize . I even had a moderator say he didn't like me posting about virginity. I think it's time cybercriminal be stop but how.

I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree on this topic but before i go.I don't mind nonvirgins disagreeing with the virginity issue but to harass/bully/stalk virgins online.It's a cybercrime. and you don't have to harass/bully/stalk a person to get your point across.

First, lets get this stalking issue out of the way. Did anyone follow you to different sites? Even different boards on the same site to posts responses? If they did not follow you a different site, then ther is no issue of cyberstalking.

Second, Flaming is a fact of life on the Net. It has been one from almost the very beginning. No one has ever found a way to stop it. The anonymity of the Net spurs people to do things they might not do in the "real" world. For flaming to approach the level of cybercrime would IMHO take a long and concerted campaign of harassment. Before I would ever think of reporting such to law enforcement, it would have to include threats that go beyond cyberspace.

What I suspect happened to you was more flaming then real bullying and harassment. That's not to condone it or minimize it. But its really a matter of realizing that the jerks who flamed you are just that, jerks and really not worth your time to worry about.

This is why i'm taking what happen to me(cyberharassment/bullying/stalking) seriuosly on enotalone.I got a violation from enotalone today for posting on this board.Hmmm, i see a member(s) on enotalone is following my every move AGAIN on another messageboard.Why?????????. I didn't know what i say or do on another board is enotalone mods business and i hope people take what happen to me seriuosly because cybercrimes is no joke.I don't think what some moderators/members on enotalone is doing is funny but because no bodily harm has come to my body. The law will be slow to respond to this cybercase.This is the reason why i'm trying to speak out on cyberharassment on messageboard

In my personal opinion (no offense to anyone), cyberbullying should definitely not be taken as seriously as any other harassment. It is your choice to turn on the computer and go to these sites. If you don't like the harassment, turn the computer off. TV is the same way. You can decide to listen and watch some crap on the TV or you can just turn it off. Of course, if a small child went to one of these sites, it's not their fault. They are completely innocent victims. But in that case, where is the parental guidance?

Worth i agree, however, AND i mean however, IF someone is cyberstalking you and asking werid question's or anything out of the ordinary. do not talk to them anymore. Tell you parent's or someone you can trust to care. Go to the angel's site like someone mentioned. ALSO remember it is sooooo important to speak freely. In America we have freedom of speech. If your proud of being a virgin ( you should be proud) then don't let ppl try to make you feel werid for being one. Speak your mind. This day in age we need more ppl to voice their opinion's!

Umm what makes you think the freedom of speech applies here? You will find no stauncher advocate of freedom of speech than myself, but it doesn't apply here. Before you involke the First Amendment please make sure you understand what it says and means.

Excuse me? You got a violation from enotalone TODAY? For posting on AMHD?

Why are you still posting there? We have told you to stop. If you haven't been posting and just got an e-mail, what do you expect. You have bad mouthed them on at least one other site. Did you think they wouldn't find out? Did you think they wouldn't retaliate? If I was a site owner I would regularly check to see if my site was being mentioned on other sites. Its not hard to do.

What do you care if they issue you a violation? They have already shown they play favorites. If you aren't going back there (and you shouldn't) then what does it matter?

It is a terrible thing. Very distressful for the person being stalked.

I have seen the web site called enotalone. I see many people posting about the fact that they are a virgin. The administration seems to allow these posts.

Yes, cybercrime should be stopped. Laws need to be created and put in place. Please visit this link for info on cyberstalking and cybercrimes. There are definitions in place and you can file a report.

Good Luck!

ruby,

Virgins can post on enotalone but post about virginity and some members might harass you.

RubyPitbull

I saw postings and animated discussions about both being a virgin, and virginity. I didn't see anyone harassing someone about virginity. Sorry. If you want to give me the link, I will look at it.

scott,

There is still an elephant in the room,Enotalone admin/moderator need to stop following people to other message board and focus on making sure cyberharrassment on their board is not a problem.The mods on that board can hand out violuation to people who complain about harassment all they want but the truth is we were harass.
Scott, i was checking my pm and not posting on that board.I do not want to post on a board that support cyberharassment and silent people who speak out on this seriuos issue.
