That's really bad news for one user and 100 accounts here.

Thatd be great if this is the push that gets Opie to finally make an account here. But it's like his Twitter and it's just him and art Danielle Juarez.

Who is Art Danielle Juarez? He was posted in a who do you hate list on here a while ago, so I looked him up and he had blocked me before I knew who he was on twitter.

It's the Hi Opie psychopath

i guess this solves this subs problem with the weirdos who make obsessive posts about other users. What a great safe space this is becoming

So basically they are implementing the same blocking feature RES provides. If they want to make it somewhat effective they need to make your comments and posts hidden from the person that's being blocked like youtube does.

Jesus Christ. When did all these people turn into sniveling faggots. "Cyber bullying" is a mildly irritating at best. Why are teenagers killing themselves over it? I just can't understand why it's such a big deal to these people.

Right, I don't get the problem with online bullying at all. I spend literally all day online and never get bothered by anyone. Then again I typically don't go looking for conflict on the internet, I just make fun of elderly radio personalities.

There's nothing better than harassing has-been geriatric D-list pseudo-celebrities. We're doing important work here.

Because with teenagers it's usually people from school doing the cyber bullying

Right, but that doesn't really change anything. I've gotten shit online before, and it's never been the end of the world. My ex girlfriend's father once kicked up a big fuss on Facebook; calling me a faggot, saying he was going to kick my ass, etc. I just went to his house, and he called the police to make me leave. I just don't get what makes these kids so vulnerable.

It's going to be a lot of people ganging up on one person. It's not one conflict with one person that makes them kill themselves. I got bullied in elementary school and had to start fighting to get it to stop. With girls shit is usually less physical so it might be even more mentally fucked.

Sounds like a wonderful way to make this faggot website even more an echo chamber than it already is.
