Opposed to the real world, wannabe bullies have zero chance of seeing a reaction from their victims if those do not react. Online bullies like there DO lose their interest. Just look at past outrages on reddit to see. People need to despise that these short-term hype shitstorms are not worth reacting to'. Maybe ask PR campaigners how they handle it, there should be decades of research.
I am obviously excluding actual stalkers, sociopaths etc. Those are hard problems but not one you can as easily treat and not a widespread problem.

I loved it, it was a mixture of puns, wordplay and general creativity. Got my first overseas pay check for it (or was it a filled credit card? It was a bit weird and complicated...). Still remember my winning suggestion and I hope the.company uses it, it was purrfect.
Sorry for the not quite on topic comment but I really had to get that off my chest.
From an observer's view, after fully reading it and seeing how hostile their response is, I can only applaud the player. To me it seems fair game. She exploited a weakness in the game, something that in meatspace is often hailed as genius. In bitcoin online gambling, race conditions are a part of the game that has to be expected to be attacked.
With their doxxing they lost any bit of sympathy I had.
