Me when the discord rules now highlight to not talk behind members' backs and people respond to that by talking behind discord members' backs on this very thread

my favourite part about the ppl on discord is they absolutely hate when ppl talk behind backs, even though they don't confront ppl about problems

but that’s none of my business ��

I disagree, if enough was said then nothing like this would have occurred and issues like that happen way too much in that discord. That discord is Neanderthal-esque most of the time (sorry to some of the people in there but I'm talking about a specific group of people here), it's hard to even chat with people because of those who are self-centred or overly aggressive for no apparent reason; those people are in the "clique".

Should probably have gotten a hold of your website and external links earlier guys, it's not hard to dispose of a member who is constantly causing, sorry I mean MEMBERS who are constantly causing trouble. You do it often enough anyway.

Talking crap about users behind their backs on discord, ganging up on them or making them feel like an outcast or stupid when they should be having fun and chatting with others is bullying behaviour and the fact that it has took THIS long to do something about it makes me sad.


I feel like cyber bulling is nowhere near as much of a concern as upfront bullying is, because it's not "real life", many people and statistics would say it should be just as much of a concern and it is "real life". People don't seem to understand or care about the person on the other screen. Those people can't comprehend what they are doing because they aren't self aware and if they are self aware then you know they are actual garbage.


I take issues like this seriously because many members of my family have been bullied, so I can't bare seeing anyone being bullied anywhere or feeling like nothing or an outcast. It's horrible.

you legit have a discord server where you talk behind peoples back and smack talk tbt members. :^)

not trying to stir a pot here, but it's annoying to see someone play a victim when they're just as guilty in the matter. please hop off the high horse.

Closing this before it turns into something it doesn't need to.

The fact is, I personally have witnessed things taking place in our Discord server that concerned me, be it in the form of exclusionary behavior or people thinking they can treat people however they'd like simply because they're a "regular" there. I myself was on the receiving end of ridicule (albeit "joking") just this week when visiting Discord, and I've also seen another site admin mocked and disrespected when his request was completely valid and made perfect sense given the circumstances. I fully support a more structured ruleset for the Discord server, because I don't want anyone to feel afraid to hang out there or intimidated to chat, and I certainly don't want any part of TBT to feel exclusionary.

While I don't support any form of bullying or smack talk when it comes to the TBT community, we unfortunately can only control what goes on in our own Discord server. I wish it could extend beyond that or we could do more to make everyone get along all of the time, but this isn't a utopia and certain people simply aren't going to like one another. It just makes me upset when I see it trickling into our chat room that's meant to be for fun and to bring the community together.
