People are being bullied on Wikia and other wikis? I'd have thought the people who take an interest in collaborative editing are a bit more intelligent than that. I've never been the victim (or the perpetrator, as far as I know) of cyberbullying, and I don't really understand how this form of bullying works either. I can imagine that if people are bullied in real life (at school, work) they continue to be harassed online. That can be very distressing, surely. But someone being bullied online for no reason other than the sake of it? By people they barely actually know (and vice versa)? I don't get how this would affect someone when it does not concern their real life at all. But if someone is being needlessly offensive or an abusive idiot in general, then yeah - by all means report them. I just doubt many of these instances are related to 'bullying'.
