As someone who has been bullied/abused/picked on, sometimes it's really hard to tell when someone is messing around and when they aren't. Especially on social media, since you can't read or sense sarcasm. I don't mean we should allow users to be rude to each other, just that we shouldn't impose harsh penalties and stringent rules and regulations that only bring resentment. As for bullying, that is unacceptable behavior. If you feel like you're being bullied, PM a chat moderator. What option do we have if cmods are the ones doing the bullying? They are not a catch all for anything going wrong in chat and some tend to cause a certain amount of chat disruption themselves. It's hard to think of a solution for this other than moderating the cmods. But who moderates the moderators? Take screenshots and present the abuse to an administrator. They'll discuss among themselves whether disciplinary action should be taken. I think it is a positive view, but not realistic.
