Closest thing to an insult

Legislation against cyberbullying

Main article: Cyberstalking legislation
United States

Legislation geared at penalizing cyberbullying has been introduced in a number of U.S. states including New York, Missouri, Rhode Island and Maryland. At least seven states passed laws against digital harassment in 2007.

That's only a select list of states, and cyberbullying, although cruel and mean, is not illegal in the majority of states.  This makes any punishment over the internet illegal because of unjust cause, unless the cyberbully and/or the cyberbullied are in a consigned state to which those laws take affect.  Therefore, Badspot would be committing an unconstitutional act because he is impeding on the freedom of speech, and for that, he could get arrested.  Badspot will never implement an anti-cyberbully rule/system because he doesn't want his ass thrown in jail for reason of protecting a few 6 year old's (not insulting you, just stating the major demographic that is hurt by cyberbullying on blockland) happiness.

Cubelands, everyone knows you don't have good grammar, sentence structure, punctuation usage you're pretty good about punctuation, nor do you have the ability to easily explain your ideas (don't worry, I had trouble with this when I was younger), but you shouldn't let people get to you about it.  Ever hear the expression "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"?  It's true, especially over the Internet, because the possibility of a 12 y/o from California coming to your house, on the other side of the country, to beat you up with his Yu-Gi-Oh, is very unlikely.  If someone is stuffstorming you and your posts on the forums, then report it to Badspot, if he wants to help, then he will check for any flaming opportunity, to ban the offender from the forums, that is already stated to be against the rules since the beginning of the forums.

I may be sounding contradictory, but in the rules of the forums itself, which every user has consigned to follow as of signing up for the forums, it is said "no negative posts", to which any flaming of the topic/topic documents/attachments/inclusions (like pictures and gallery builds) are against the rules, but anything directed at another forum user are not against the rules.

The one thing I suggest for you, Cubelands, is to get better at grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, etc.  This way, the causation for most cyberbullying towards you is eliminated.

EDIT: In the time it took to type this, three people posted.

Unless it took you four hours to type that out, I don't see how three people could have posted

This is a privately run forum.
He can ban anyone for any reason he wants, or no reason at all. He doesn't need the government's approval.
Freedom of speech protects from censorship by the government in public places or something like that. It doesn't mean you can go to a private place and be allowed to verbally attack people and be immune to punishment.

Maybe I just had the topic screen up for a while before replying, idk.

Freedom of speech is a federal law, while laws against Cyberbullying are state laws.  Issues spanning the borders/within the borders of states with those laws can and will be prosecuted, but when the issue is within a state without any Cuberbullying law, then it is legally allowed.  Badspot could, technically and legally, check a Cyberbully's IP address, check whethe it is within a consigned district with the Anti-Cyberbullying law, then inform the bullied to press charges, but why would Badspot do that?  That would require large amounts of time spent on legal stuff that is unnecessary.  It would also spur the question on why he didn't do the same for all users that were bullied, which would lead into a stuff ton more legal nonsense.

The point is, the almighty creator will not report a case of Cyberbullying on his forums because it would be too much legal stuff.

Yeah sure, except I'm pretty sure OP just wants people banned for it. None of that legal stuff applies to forum bans.

True.
