I have received complaints from a number of users of bullying in the chat rooms. This involves the singling out for abuse of certain members, by a particular group of users.

Bullying is unacceptable in any walk of life, and it will not be tolerated on funkpool. The tiny minority of users who behave in this way will not be allowed to spoil things for the majority, and risk being banned.

If any users experience behaviour of this nature, please use 'send complaint' so that admin are made aware.

totally unacceptable and there is no need for it people come on here to enjoy the game not to get abuse.

I agree, i dont' really get bullied here, there was one occaision, but i'm sure it was dealt with as i reported them.

For people in a situation where you are getting constant abuse:

Click ignore user
Click ignore guests
Get it reported as well, it will help to keep some bullying out.

Yeh 15 is not enough (including admin)
That now works out at
1 admin/mod- 3,500 members

I think that a mod should be deployed who will be able to do the nightshift, whether that be a foreign player or someone who stays up at nights. Something does need to be addressed though

In all honesty kev, i've stayed up till the wee hours of the morning, and bullying in the chat rooms isn't very common,you will be lucky if the chat rooms are occupied at certain times!

Same, im not on about bullying in chat rooms though. Its just general things such as wanting to speak to a mod for something which has happened in the game or someone cheating. Its the fact that if there is a mod online at the time, even if there is small problems, they could still be dealt with

I dont really talk on here on the chat room's that but sometimes when i join while im doing some thing i see guest being rasict and there aren't any mod's about.

Also if you tell them to stop being rascit or sweaing or any think like that they start saying stuff to you so really i dont do much about it, but when im a mod when ive done my 3 months they will no about it

ibeatubaby- the forum is not the place to be hinting about being a moderator. It typically nullifies your chances of becoming one. You may be the perfect mod, i dont know but if you do want to apply to be a mod then use the "contact us" link and use the form available there, that is what it is there for

I personally think bullying on a virtual chat room is incredibly sad, it is for people who aren't making it in real life. I will happily take action against anyone I see being abusive or derogatory towards other users.
Advice to anyone having trouble in this way is to use the 'ignore feature' (see help section) and send us complaint so we know whats going on and can take neccassary action.
Thanks
Magic.
