Cyber bullying, I feel, would effect you the most if the person doing so is following you and having access to you at all times of the day.
Being probably one of the most "bullied" at school, and in this community, the bullying that commenced in school and over social media is what had a mental impact on me. The bullying that commenced via skype, teamspeak, forums, etc. I was able to shrug off and move on, as these bullies are not following me throughout the day.
Now, that being said, I'm not a staff member, and light-years from being a Sr. Staff member, so I wouldn't know the stress that would occur while trying to calm down a very high-demanding group of individuals. I would, if I was a staff member, expect a certain amount of flaming that would endue because of kicks, bans, etc.
Not releasing this information to the public is completely understandable, but I don't think all of us will understand your motives before we see exactly what's been happening.
