More and more commonly
seen on online platforms.
Bullying is a subcategory of aggressive behavior characterized by the following three minimum criteria: (
1) hostile intent, (2) imbalance of power, and (3) repetition over a period of time.2 Bullying is the activity of repeated, aggressive behaviour.
Such as station raiding, miner killing and baiting against one or more individuals or alliances.
In online games bullying ranges from
one-on-
one, individual bullying through to group (whole alliance) bullying, called warring, in which the bully
may have one or more "Commodores" who are willing to assist the primary bully (admiral) in their bullying activities.
Sometimes however the perception of bullying
may only be a result of the misconception caused by a lack of
knowledge of the events leading up to an incident.
