The way to change it is by living it. There's guilds like Pheonix, Chivalrous Union and Elite Runners who stand against cyber bullying, drama, trash talking and accusations by not participating in it. We play the game without any involvement in that kind of behaviour at all. 0 tolerance is the only way to eliminate it.
It's all very well to announce it with good intentions, but the example needs to be set in game - on an ongoing basis. The more people that stand up and walk away from that mess, the less people the bullies will have aroud them. Bullies are cowards, and only work in numbers. By walking away, you take the power from them.
Yo, this thread had nothing to do with pointing fingers, so let's not start that now. This is about moving toward positive change in AL, not going backwards and calling out people who have bullied in the past. Let's keep it that way, mmk?
This. Here's the point. If you can't look past tiny little trolls... and just ignore the bait (ignoring means not acknowledging it) this kind of thing will neeeeeeever work.
I've said it before many times. Trolls thrive off of reaction. If they say something, and you respond... you lose. Period.

At the same time, don't be a bystander. If you see somene being bullied, I don't care if it "hurts ur guild rep". Stand up for the person. You are as bad as the bully if you let it haplen
Nope... wrong approach. This isn't the real world. Here, you can just walk away. You don't have to say ANYTHING. Even no lifers will get bored of trash talking inanimate objects. If anything just encourage the victim to move on and ignore it.
Or you can intensify the situation by bowing out your chest and telling them how wrong they are. You know what that does? N O T H I N G. Then they've hooked you. You know why? Because they don't really care about your morals. Or your values. All they want to do is whatever it takes to make you angry and respond to them.

That mmk of rem though:3
Back in the days of s4. EOS had a rule of no trashing. Even if someone from guild trashes or abuses personally ,his team mate used to write in /g,/team or /o "bro just stfu n fight" and u know that worked. Recently too someone was taking a massive negative offensive step, few told him not to do so and he stopped.
So it might not work 100% but definitely raising a voice is much better IMO
