I might take this as a diary thing or a story for you guys to read or not. So I'll just put this on off-topic discussion thing. This is just sharing experiences, stories, or give advies or warnings for you guys. Sorry if grammar is a cringe. Im not good at english or grammar stuff. So sorry if I dont make sense. You see how I didnt put a apostrophe on I'm before this sentence, that's why. Same goes to didn't on the sentence you just finished reading. Anyway, I'm kinda getting bullied from some cubers. Calling me, cringy, im okay with that, but then starts to take opinions into a threat. Some cubers on reddit are bullies. Im not sure if u guys have this type of problem but everytime i post something, there's always that mean comment, and just keep happening over and over again. Most of them are opinions, which is fine to me but just how they act when i just wanted to chat. Treated me like im annoying and cringy person to talk to. It hurts me a lot. Not that im weak or just butt-hurted easily but, i have suicidal depression. I've been bullied a lot in my background, but didnt expect this much. Never knew there would be mean cubers of ****ed up ones. Im just being honest in all my heart. Im not a mean person, im just a depressed nice type, where every cubers dont give a **** about. yup, its true. Im not trying to get attention or stuff. I just wanna do my own thing ,and apparently i get banned from doing so. People on facebook are nicer, but not everyone. I joined in this cubing facebook group called "cyoubx friends". And so many ****ed up people there. its an actual group, no lie, dont even think about joining there. ill tell you why. I got accepted in that group and mostly, i get ****ed up comments. I asked a question about "is snyder method fast?", and apparently have a complaint already. this guy wanted to ban me for asking this question becuz its dumb and cringe. most of the people agreed and definitely want me out of the group. Im suprise chris olson and kit clement didnt see this post, becuz they're admins in the group. but theyre not the only admins. there's 4, but im not sure if i should really give out this person's name. so many mean people there, and i highly not recommend joining it. They could be trolls, just cuz of how they act. Even tommy szeliga commented on my question post, he just put a turtle with a question mark above it. Not a threat, just confuses me, idk. Hes a good person tho, but i have to wait and see what happens next. This other guy told me "you need to stop". stop what? this is how i can tell theyre trolls, just blurt out how they feel and then threats. Ive gone through other people's comments and there was one cuber that says "kys or kill yourself". this really triggers me, and also becuz i have suicidal depression. So that's all for today, there's a chance i might get banned from that group but im not banned now. Ill tell you in the next chapter. For now, this is as much i can share with you guys. Thank you for reading this long message. And also be careful on what cubing group you join. And if youre being bullied, you can moslty ignore or stand up. but sometimes, its safer too ignore. So thats all.

If you have suicidal depression then I have two pieces of advice for you and you should take them seriously:
  1. Get off the internet. It won't do you any good
  2. See a trained clinical psychologist.
 
Do you have any screenshots? Have you reported any of this to an admin of whatever site/group it was on?
Thats all i can show u for now, i have more, but i have to censor them.

i personally think the admin would not care, becuz obviously, the admin are friends with the trolls or bullies. I hate it when people say thats how internet is, such heartless people.

Cyoubx' Friends is awful anyway. I rejoined it a while back and promptly left. Same with the subreddit, I can't stand the useless repetitive posts.

Referencing an externally sourced screenshot of the post, one person was being absolutely outrageous and needs to be banned outright. The other people are critical of your premises because you posed them as premises--not questions. Saying "cubers mostly get sub-10" with Snyder is going to yield significant skepticism. Knowing most of the people who commented on that post, many of them are very fast and generally know what they're talking about.

Turtle question mark is a meme. No need to worry.

Old advice, but: If you are very seriously discouraged whenever you post, I would suggest you post less and lurk moar. Having an idea of the attitudes inside cubing groups you join is crucial not only to your social well-being, but to your growth as a cuber. Not saying you have to do what everyone else is doing, but at least be aware of it and have a reasonable expectation of the response you'll get when you do post. I don't heed this advice at all and I think I should.

And take what Dene says very seriously. Suicidal depression is not a laughing matter. And to the someone who reported his post for being sarcastic: That is not some sick joke.
 
Sorry you had a bad experience in CF. I don't believe that we got any notifications for a post being reported. The admins have lives outside of the group and really only pick up on the bad posts if they are reported or really pick up in post count.

To be clear, someone reported a post here on SS, not sure if the post was reported in CF

That statement simply isn't true. We have tried to lock down more on behavior in the group. Without a report, we are going to miss some posts.

Yeah, I meant CF.
