Threats

[Peter Cunningham]

No forum I question. Just a general. If threats get made on a forum,ehqt is the protocol? Delete and move on? Alert the police! Depends on the situation? Tell Support? Do you just delete cyber bullies or report them? What are the rules?

Peter Cunningham -

There are too many open-ended "what if's" in your question. And as you stated, it depends on the situation.


General rule of thumb would be if it's just bad member behavior, then it would be a forum issue and should be dealt with at the forum level as outlined in the forum's rules and/or with the moderation tools available.

If a threat is made that extends beyond the forum, then it should be reported to the Abuse Department (Report Abuse link at bottom of all forum pages.)

Overall if in doubt, then report it to the Abuse Department to review.
