I Have a Suggestion for Similar Worlds

My suggestion is about abuse. Today I recieved a message saying "Do u like sexting, just curious" me being me I haven't replied it anything, I just reported it saying "harrasment" because as a person who was abused multiple times (online and real life) whatever my answer is, I know where this "curiousity" can go. I already filtered my messages, I already blocked a few people, but blocking is no solution. They will go and abuse other people as long as they roam here. I am saying, do not underestimate even the simplest abusement report because the ones who suffered it enough knows the symptoms.

As Agape says, you are going to have more of this. Everyone here have it.
I see it like the clingy guy who is at the disco.
My suggestion is filter all the pms that are not from people you friend.

That would be a good option actually. But the precautions must be taken too
twistermind · 51-55, F
Agree. Precautions must be taken always. Even with friends you are knowing for years. Sad to say it but it's true.
But, hey...you went through a lot, and for this I guess you are a strong girl. And you are able to separate the wheat from the chaff.

That is not harrassement. It is childish behaviour at best and social ineptness at worst. But it is not harrassement. Just say "No. Do not contact me again". If he/she continues to contact you after that then it is harrasement. I understand you feel that 8t is harrassement but those are your feelings. They are only valid for you.
I believe that people who send random messages like that are sad, pathetic creatures who will never fully enjoy the beauty of humanity.

Agree. It's not harrassement. So, there is no way to report anything.

I am sorry you have gone through any form of abuse but I don't understand your thought process.

Someone has the potential to abuse so you report them?
Katerinafaith · 26-30, F
Really? Do you honestly know this kind of people? I reported because I don't want even the simplest abuse to be underestimated. Which usually happens (people underestimate the abuse) and these people find more confidence and they abuse more.

Have you seen the movie "Zootopia?"

Yes, I saw it.

You're gonna get a lot of that, Katerina. There's people that have maxed out their block limit and still get pervy messages.
Katerinafaith · 26-30, F
There shouldn't be a max limit to the blocking. And if we don't punish the abuse they will do it more and more. They should suffer the consequences

Grace.

Just pray for us.

My point is "do not underestimate even the simplest abuse sentence like this one" I hope I made myself clear. Trust me, I know the symptoms of the disease

I'm sure they keep records of this and review the reports.
