Facebook, we applaud all prior and future efforts by your network to keep Cyber Bullying at bay. We are aware that this problem is so serious that there is a responsibility to make every possible effort to protect individuals on your social network. The protection needs to extend especially to the minors, from becoming the next victims of a social cyber attack. We ask that you please include a standout disclaimer about the dangers and consequences of Cyber Bullying. This separate standout disclaimer needs to become a mandatory part of the Facebook sign up process. This disclaimer needs to be completely separate from the lengthy list of requirements you ask the readers to agree to before completion of the sign-up process. This disclaimer would allow Facebook to show how the problem of Cyber Bullying is a top priority and concern of the site, and that this issue will not be ignored or taken lightly.
This separate disclaimer solely pertaining to Cyber Bullying allows for the reader to absorb the intended content. The absorption and understanding of this disclaimer is crucial due to the many dire consequences arising from this issue. The disclaimer needs to read quite clearly that Cyber Bullying will not be tolerated on your site and must be e-signed before any person is able to open a new Facebook account. For those individuals with existing accounts, especially minors, the message needs to be delivered in some medium and signed before they can further enjoy your site. This disclaimer at the heart of it is a pledge for those who sign it. A pledge acknowledging they will not use Facebook to spread hateful messages and slander about others. It is a pledge that brings awareness to the severity of this problem and puts the issue of Cyber Bullying on our moral radar.
Thank you and remember Think B4 U Type!
I really thought this might just float around in the void but seeing everyone jumping on board is honestly making my head spin a little. It feels like people actually get it because the sheer volume of agreement makes me feel like we might actually push them to take this seriously instead of just tucking it into a terms of service page where nobody looks.

People just click agree without reading stuff so making them stop and look at a warning about bullying might actually help. put it in big red letters so they cant ignore it.
