Cyber Bullying: A guide to keeping yourself safe on the Internet:
What is Cyber bullying?
Cyber bullying is when someone uses a mobile phone, the internet or other similar technology to be verbally or emotionally abusive towards you.
Emails
If you send abusive emails to someone, or to a group of people who may then join in the bullying.
Emailing inappropriate videos and other inappropriate content including viruses is also classed as cyber bullying.
Instant messaging and chat rooms – such as forums, MSN messenger
Using instant messaging and chat rooms to send threatening or abusive messages to someone and asking others to join in. If you use another person's account to send abusive messages to others, without their permission.
Social networking sites – such as Bebo, Facebook and MySpace
Creating fake profiles for people or leaving abusive messages on existing profiles for others to see. Encouraging others to abuse someone through their profile. In certain cases if you see something abusive or are encouraged to bully someone and don’t report it you can also be classed as a cyber bully.
Mobile phone
Sending abusive text, video or photo messages as well as sharing videos of physical attacks on individuals (happy slapping or blue jacking etc).
Abusing personal information
Posting photos, personal information or fake comments and blogs on websites where they can be seen by anyone without your permission.

Keep safe on Miss Bimbo and other places on the Internet.
Miss Bimbo has loads of helpful advice for keeping you safe on their site. Here are some extra tips to help all you Bimbos out there.
• Treat the Internet like a real place. Your actions can affect people online just as they would in real life.
• Use a nickname or create an online name - never use your real name.
• It is a good idea not tell anyone any personal things about yourself or your family.
• Never give out your address or phone number.
• Miss Bimbo has rules about using photos of yourself if you are under 18.Other websites often do not monitor things like this. Instead of posting a photo of you, you could use a picture you like or a photo of your favourite band instead. (or your Bimbo!)
• Don't post any photos or videos that you wouldn't be happy for your parents, teachers or your own children etc... to see. Once they are up online they can be copied and posted in other places where you can't get rid of them.
• Keep your passwords private from everyone.
Getting Help
If you feel that you are a victim of cyber bullying, there are lots of ways that you can get help.
Like any form of bullying – telling someone about it is often the hardest step. The first step to helping yourself is telling someone. This can be someone you trust, the website provider.
Most people can be tracked on the internet and website owners can block peoples account from their computer address. This means they can’t use their computer to create a new identity.
In some cases the police might have to get involve. An example of this is recording things like ‘Happy Slapping’ on your mobile and passing the picture on to others.
The most important thing to remember is that there is something you can do about cyberbullying.
Keep yourself safe online. The following links have more information on cyber bullying.

Lots of people bully others online. Even Work colleagues do it to each other, employers, kids. People do it for fun, or because they take a dislike to someone they pick randomly on the net.
Unfortunately people have killed themselves because they have been a victim of cyberbullying.

I can't believe it! I have just been cyber bullied!
A thread was set up in my name. I can't find it now I think a mod may have deleted it.
So I am living proof the mods are doing a great job at tackling Cyber Bullies!

Hi Ladies, just to let you know. I've reported that person who was bullying me and she has now stopped. I don't know for how long.
It's weird I seem to expect her to pounce again but she hasn't, not in the past 3 days anyway.

If you have any problems, worries or questions you can send myself, Chris or Koopa, or indeed any of our lovely mods a pm or post in the forums and ask others.
We will not tolorate any form of bullying and we want to make these forums a safe and fun place where people are not afraid of posting.
Have fun everyone

I have seen cyber bullying here on this forum, usually it takes place when someone voices their opinionor asks a question, and a person in a clique or a whole clique does not like the subject or person,a nd they flood the thread with attacks against the person or subject.
This is mild. There have been incidents where the parents of children will bully another kid with lines like. "Everyone hates you, No one likes you, why don't you kill yourself, and make everyone happy." Last year some girl I think in Texas got this sort of message from the parents of her classmates, and the girl committed suicide. This is a tragedy, but the travesty was that the law couldn't do anything about it.

.
That was exactly what happened. I'm glad the kind mods have sorted it out. I know several of these people have been banned from the forum as they haven't been 'following' me from thread to thread.
Will only know when the ban gets lifted and if they will do it again.

I am glad to see this post! I am even more glad to be back. Since a lot of the comments were made in my other thread that I can no longer post in-I am going to leave one here. I decided to leave Bimboland a while back due to being harassed is no longer open, I am going to just say a few things in this one, considering it is relative.
There were a lot of bitter and immature comments put in the aforementioned thread I made in this topic. I am sure many of you ladies and gents out there found their comments an obvious dead giveaway that there were some extreme attitude problems on this site in the past. I could go on and on and retort on comments made to me, but those ladies aren't worth my time frankly.
But I just want all of you out there to know that I am here if you ever need a person to talk to when certain comments have hurt you in the forum or certain people have chosen to single you out to be picked on for no better reason then perhaps how you type or how you spell.
I am accepting and forgiving even for those who have been guilty of bad behavior on here towards me as well in the past, so don't feel too timid to just let go of grudges and make a new friend-when ya get to know me, I am actually a pretty cool chick.
And just a quick comment to those all consumed with their notions that because some bullies have been banned that now it is boring here. I am sure THOUSANDS OF LADIES would disagree. So rather than be a part of the sulking minority, how about just do as suggested. Sit back, chill, relax and make some new friends-maybe even BETTER friends.
It takes a stronger, less obtuse woman to enjoy others' company without making their entertainment at the expense of another person's feelings. A classy lady at that. So any classy ladies out there? Holla. Peace, Tara-Caz ;O)

Well my idea of classy is people who are well bred, well brought up, know how to mind their manners and respect others..
Even if they like to work and not play! LOL
One does not have to be born into a privilege household to be classy.

Note: - cyberbullying is NOT repeatedly disagreeing with another person's point of view during a debate.

I am happy to see people care about this issuee. I was cyberbullied and it's horrible- the people who do it are sad and twisted cowards.

The wonderful and terrible thing about the internet is that it makes many people much braver than they are in real life. They're more inclined to be ruder, flirtier, friendlier, dorkier, whatever, because you can kinda hide behind the screen. It gets bad when the person you're being braver with is just as timid as they are in real life. They might take your comments too seriously, or be intimidated by your flirtiness, or whtever, and that causes problems. What people need to remember about cyberbullies is that they are taking their anger out in a way that doesn't require much in the way of guts. Cyberbullies are basically losers.
