What people can do against cyberbullying?
Even though I hug the wall and avoid making wave. A player is looking after me to make my game annoying. Fake screenshot, lies, fake situation, and so on. Any fake evidence is good to injure me.
I'm lifetime, I spend money to play and there is no way to play in safety.
So what people can do against cyberbullying? Quit the game?

Generally ignore it because usually they're just full of BS and wants to get a rise out of you.
If this is to do with STO, then simply report them, and cyberbullies try messaging you, put them in your ignore list to block them.
Is this an individual that follows you around online (facebook, other games, etc?)? File a complaint with your Internet Service Provider, and other platforms they harass you in. Then also contact your local/nation cyber division of the police and file a complaint there. (I really don't know if there's a decent name for these divisions).
If your nation doesn't have it, just file a complaint at your local police. Mention you also have filed a complaint at your ISP and whatever service platform they harass you in.

It is a peculiar phenomenon that we can imagine events that defy the laws of the universe.
Unfortunately all I can suggest is to ignore any direct abuse, and if possible not even read it. As for indirect abuse, such as people spreading false rumors, all I can say is you'll just have to say it isn't true and move on.
Sorry it's not much of a consolation but it's the best I can suggest, as cursing out cyberbullies or trolls only feeds their habit. The only real solution is to starve them for the attention they are seeking.
This isn't D&D, you can't kill Trolls with flames...
(worth noting, you can disable private messages from non-friends/fleetmates, in the in-game privacy options off of the social window, and various channels like zone and local can be disabled in the chat options. For what it's worth...)
Running from your problems only alleviates them temporarily, don't be one of the people with the whole "Sticks and stones philosophy" that words can't hurt anyone, they can, and it's been proven that they can have a profound Physiological impact.
Pretending that problems don't exist is never appropriate advice.

Not to mention they will still be there next time you turn your computer on, unless you are willing to abstain from using your Computer or any similar device completely.
Be men don't whine like lil boys , either ignore it or go running crying upset like lil boy !!
If its in game you just stick their handle on ignore and you never have to listen to them again, if its against your In game friends then either they will stick that person on ignore as well OR they arnt really your friends.
Either way it seems strange to be bullied in STO when there are so many ways to avoid players. I suppose more information is needed.
Excuse me, but I believe it is far past your Bed time.

If this is on these forums contact Trendy.
If this is elsewhere follow the other contact advise.
To protect yourself from cyber bullies you need to first insulate what information they can get about you. So use screen names and aliases. Do not mix them. And do not link them to your RL.
And this may sound trite. But no matter where or how the bullying is coming in. Make friends. Not with the bully. Just find those around you to take some of the burden off your shoulders.

Report them, ignore them and keep your personal information private to stop it from spreading beyond the realm of online gaming.
Here is the link to report harassment:

Follow the directions on that page as best you can. Hopefully you can get it all worked out.

"Don't feed the troll" is a popular phrase, and that's all cyber bullies really are: Obnoxious trolls who have (for whatever reason) made it their mission to try to break you. Unfortunately for them, they can't break you if you don't pay any attention to them.
What are these "friends" you speak of?
Been there, done that - IRL. Took tremendous amounts of mental fortitude to live purely by the "sticks and stones" approach, however, the combination of ignoring the short-term taunts and taking proactive steps to correct / remove the bullying problem wound up doing wonders for me and my sanity.
The only thing with counting on others to help change the situation is that what the OP might think is flagrant bullying might not register on the moderator's tracker / opinion list. Hence the dual-prong approach being best.

HOLY smokes. Grow up, pal.
I realize that this may be a strange idea considering some people seem to post everything about themselves online, but keeping your personal info private is the most effective way to counter cyber bullying.
Maybe i am paranoid, but i have never used my own name for online activities since i discovered the net. Use of separate (throwaway) email accounts for gaming etc.
Eventually they will get so fed up, they tend to leave me alone.

You need to take a step back from this Situation.
Its a player of an online game spending an inordinate amount of his time creating stuff to annoy you.
You should put him on the ignore list.
You should ignore his other activities.
It will not stop him from doing what he does, but it will stop stressing you out.
What are you afraid of? Being name Called by a random troll? That his doctored whatever will ruin your relation with other players?
Here is a good hint for life in general: anybody easily swayed in his opinion about you because of something someone else told him is neither worth your time nor effort.
TL;DR:
Welcome to life, where you run into random jackasses. Get a tough hide.
Oh yes. And this.
Stop broadcasting yourself.
Keep your private info private.
If it cannot be contained or spills over to reallife, consider harassment charges. There are quite some "civilized" countries which have sufficient laws to get police and lawyers to work on this.
Personally, I don't care what other people think of me. I'll just take care that my family and my friends do know the truth. In fact those believing TRIBBLE, will not be my friends anymore.
This isn't easy, but it is the option to survive with your head held upright.
If it spills over in real life - learn to fight because odds are the bully can't (Theodore Roosevelt).
