Petition about Deviantart

Here is a Petition about the website called Deviantart. I have been trying to a promotion called End Cyberbullying on DeviantART. Here is a link to the Petition: https://www.change.org/p/angelo-sotira-end-cyberbullying-on-deviantart

Here are the base ideas of it: DevinatART not taking action to reports of cyberbullying, stalking, harassment, polemics, etc. it has become engulfed with bullies, trolls, and stalkers.And these bullies will often times work in groups to harass, spread lies, threaten, and stalk random users. Many of their victims chosen simply because of beliefs, religion, race, or the art they draw.

The bullying can become so hostile at times that hacking accounts, chasing people permanently off the site, or even forcing people to get new accounts to escape their bullies has become all too common. Awful polemics spreading lies, vitriol, and encouraging attacking other users is all too common. Despite cyberbullies being reported constantly nothing is done.

Blocking isn't enough for many bullies continue to harass by writing polemics, sharing screenshots, and block evading by making new accounts.

Some users will make up to 50 new accounts to block evade. And if a report is answered by admins the reply is to only block and ignore. Ignoring doesn't stop bullies who are obsessed.

Even though the bullying, the polemics, and making up lies goes against deviantART's Terms of Service, users are still ignored when they make reports. Often times reports are never even viewed.

Facebook and other social media sites have improved their monitoring and reporting system to better handle cyberbullies and respond to situations of bullying, stalking, and harassment. DeviantART has not done that.

That is the whole Petition in nutshell about.
