◯Preventive Measures and Actions Against Cyberbullying[5]

     Since the 5th Town Assembly members are human, they might err in their judgments or be lenient if their family or friends are reported. If a reporter is dissatisfied with the decision of the 5th Town Assembly or if there is no response within a set period, they will be automatically notified via email that the report will escalate to the 4th, and then to the 3rd Town Assembly. If unresolved, the final appeal can be made to the 1st Town Assembly. If still unacknowledged, the case is closed, and the reporter may be barred from filing further reports for a set period, such as six months. Victims who feel unable to cope alone can consult with their local assembly leader, who can discuss the issue together with the relevant assembly leader.

    When addressing or informing offenders about bullying or criminal actions, it is standard to involve a large group rather than a few individuals. Bullies might retaliate, and some can be vindictive and intimidating, making some assembly members fearful. Also, people who engage in bullying often do not easily accept admonishment and might be involved in collective bullying. Therefore, addressing them in small numbers might result in them harboring resentment and potentially retaliating. By making the issue public among a large group, it not only shames the offender but also makes it safer for those issuing the warning, as the collective presence reduces potential risks.

    Even with these rules in place, there is still a possibility that people might create underground sites using boards without reporting functions. In such cases, it is hoped that someone will report these activities out of goodwill. If discovered, both the creators and users of such sites become subject to action.

    Furthermore, the details and frequency of these crimes are recorded in the personal IDs for decades. Repeated offenses may result in longer periods of stay in rehabilitation facilities and longer bans on posting capabilities. This record also serves as criteria for electing leaders within the 5th Town Assembly. Individuals who engage in malicious online activities are deemed to lack integrity and moral values, thus disqualifying them from leadership roles. As information accumulates within the assembly, it becomes easier to understand and manage community affairs.
