    nice

    though I would make it a 4 point deduction and a week ban (but I understand u guys make your money off of traffic, so banning someone is out of the question)

    I've been a huge advocate for this....bullying, not the gay thing.

    I get bullied a lot. I can handle it, but many can't.

    Can the points go to the person getting bullied?

    I would rack up real quick.

    Something to think about.

    In other news remarks such as (n@gg#%'s can't play QB or coach NFL teams) will still be supported. In addition to Nazi avatars.

    Great concept. Might want to add in racist crap too.

    But 4 points? Oh no, now I can only bully three times a day and still break even.

    I know posters here like to keep it light but on a serious note, I could not be more proud of SBR Jonelyn for spearheading this iniatitive. She absolutely demanded SBR add this infraction level and thinks posters that have sat on the sidelines will jump back into the posting game as a result.

    Well done SBR Jonelyn

    Not exactly a 1st ammendment thing tat, but a bit inconsistent yes. Interesting to see SBR try to address something as subjective as bullying, which is basically a catch-all for people's feelings being hurt, regardless of what's said. I guess it's just their way of saying "if you interact with another poster at all, they can report you"

    So are we still allowed to call threads like this gay or is this applied only to members?

    Crude racist remarks/posts have proliferated here my entire time here and SBR has never done Jack-S to stop THAT... but THIS is what you make a stand on?

    Is saying you suck at it calling me gay? Is that in turn bullying me for being gay? Pretty ambiguous...I guess the only certain thing is that if I cry about it, you'd get an infraction. Remains to see how it'll be implemented, but it's hard to see how it could be taken seriously without pretty much chasing away most of the quality here

    Very interesting. What is the definition of "bullying" at SBR? I'm not quite sure how this will be judged.

    If I call someone an idiot for laying -2000 on a favorite and it loses....is that bullying?

    Yes, it was name calling but it was factual. If you lay -2000, you're an idiot.

    Don't know how they plan on implementing this specifically, but in the past, pointing out facts has been labeled "harrassment" with infractions hand out...even quoting that person could be an infractionable offense if they're offended by their own words.

    Only surefire way to avoid this is to avoid talking with crybabies (although they can be hard to spot sometimes). To their credit, SBR does a good job of giving you warnings first so you know to avoid these people. Maybe they'll put up a "we feel bullied" list of posters who can't be posted about?

    In the end though, if you make a post about anything, someone can interpret it anyway they want and try to report you..."anti-bullying" just formalizes the process I guess.
