Let's make sure we all understand what cyberbullying means so everyone can be on the same page as to whether you're really a victim of cyberbullying or whether you're just being a drama queen and twisting the definition to make yourself look like a victim.
"Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing personal or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior."

Based in the above definition, I can't see anyone cyberbullying you. In fact most people have been ignoring you since you plagiarised on Hive.
When I first found out plagiarism on your content, I was extremely disappointed as you had always posted decent content I hadn't expected a 'community leader' to resort to plagiarism. Then you said you paid a ghost writer to produce the content. That wasn't a problem in your eyes. Your apology wasn't for you paying a ghost writer to write plagiarise content, but for the fact that you didn't discover the plagiarism.
Which means
1/ either you did a shitty job in detecting plagiarism or you did zero. It took me 5 minutes to detect your post was off, and probably another 15 minutes to find the source
2/ had I or someone else didn't detect the plagiarism, I'm guessing you would have continued to pay the ghost writer as there was two or three posts when I found them.
HIVE is a place where you should have freedom of thought and freedom of expression.
You're absolutely right, and that's what the so called bully ( which you are even too coward to name in this post) did. He expressed and excercised his freedom of thoughts and expression.
Until an OFFICAL HIVE TOS outlines what is acceptable and what is not,
As an experienced Hiver and community leader you should know that there is no OFFICIAL HIVE. Sounds like you're living in your own cuckoo land where there is a centralised authority making decisions. Sounds like you're living the lesser chain mentality, in that case you'd fit a lot better over there.
Hey, thanks @livinguktaiwan for the comment!
Perhaps you are right, perhaps I did not use the tools the right way to detect the issues, or perhaps I was in a rush while working on other projects to thoroughly scan the doc and work to get them fixed. perhaps I am not a good editor in that sense and need to work on it, but I am glad others did detect that content, and that is something I expressed.
As for ghostwriting, it's a standard practice that is used worldwide, for news outlies, personal blogs, law firms, and so so much more (sans disclosers). Why would I have any idea or even an assumption that this is act something that is frowned upon on HIVE? Why is that considered scamming or farming rewards? If it's original content, and people like it, and you own the rights to it, why is it an issue to use it?
As stated in another comment, I don't really even care that much about this topic of ghostwriting, I used it for that project and yes, did a shity job about screening the content, and have not used a ghostwriter before or after that. (you can take that or leave it)
As for not naming the bully, I was hoping we could resolve the issue before this escalated any further. It's not that I fear them or as you say, I am " too coward to name", rather, I like give people a chance to make amends.
As for my issue, I admitted I was wrong and I said I was sorry, and have been upstanding for the last 6 + months - what more do people want?
Yes, I know there is no Offical HIVE, but we do have a https://hive.io/ page, Why not add a WIKI with community-voted do's and don't about hive. This way, people know what's accepted and not and there is some sort of document that the majority of HIVE agrees on, and what is the agreed to punishments for breaking that community-voted guideline.
This makes the mouse sense.
If you want to keep ignoring my account, that is fine, but HIVE has lost a lot of great authors over simple misunderstanding like this, and we do not have a future if this keeps happening. That much is a fact. If we lose splinter lands... omg that would be a disaster.
So let's make tools and documents to help grow and educate others who don't know, not downvote and blacklist.
I do hope you agree that that is a path forward.
That's the problem, and it seems like you're the only person who still don't get it after all these months.
