While you're welcomed to report cyberbullying through any of those links (which may or may not result in some action), the best thing for a member to do to report bullying behavior on Psych Central (and to get much quicker action) is to report the post or member via the reporting mechanisms we have here in our community. As long as the behavior happened within the PC community (forums, VMs, PMs, or chat), we can look into it further and take action as appropriate.
If you choose to engage with a member outside of our platform, then you are taking on the responsibility for your relationship with that member independently of Psych Central. We cannot do anything about behavior that takes place off of the Psych Central website, even if it was with another member, since we have no way of verifying what transpired.
That's why we encourage members to stick to the community with your interactions, until and unless you completely and 100% trust the person you're interacting with.
