Post by: GreatArkansas on June 21, 2019, 03:38:12 AM
Is this considered a death threat? Someone PMed me this.

I read the message when I just woke up, damn! it's freaking scares me.

8. No threats to inflict bodily harm, death threats.

EDIT: Decided to post the profile of the member.

It doesn't read like a threat more a statement of facts to some extent. Creepy? Definitely, especially if this is the first and only communication you've had with them. I'd probably just block their PM's

Yes it looks like a death threat , but unless it is coming from some reputed member here you would be smart at just ignoring it.

It would be better if you could post the username of the accused.

Yep, It's creepy, I can just block the user and report the message. First time to communicate with me.

It is Jr. Member with 1 negative trust from DTs, I think it is not better action if I will post the member who PMed me, I can just use the report button 'Report to admin' in the messages.

Can you provide any context? Do you have some kind of dispute with the person?

You can report the post tp the moderators to be reviewed. You should also contact the police if you believe your live is in immediate danger.

That's all, he just PMed me today with that, this is the first time I saw his profile. It is okay if I can post the user's profile here?

Sure, but you will need to report the PM to the moderators if you want any real chance for anything to be done about it.

If there is no additional context, that is the entire message, and you are unaware of any reason for him to want harm to you, I don't think this breaks the rules.

Again, if you feel you are in danger, you should contact the police. Banning the person is not going to remove any danger, if it exists.

This could already prove that the user is somewhat shaddy and should be banned for this threat. I don't think there is anything wrong in posting the username of the account you are accusing it would help others to be aware from the same.

Also you could report the PM to moderators, so that the user could be perm banned for sending threats.

The person having negative trust from "DTs" is proof of absolutely nothing, and I can almost guarantee you will not factor into any decision to possibly ban the person.

Being a lower level account and at the same time having some bad reviews is an absolute prove of a user being shaddy and its been seen the same by most of the new users here.

I agree just banning him is not an effective option as the users could create alts to do the same again but on the other hand contacting police for forum threats from random users looks like an extreme step, I think it should be followed if the issue is more serious than this.

These factors you mentioned doesn't make the user shaddy or a killer per se, it just does not prove anything.
and its been seen the same by most of the new users here..
It has not. They probably have the least knowledge in here,and most are simply here to earn by taking shortcuts and posting low quality stuff, but that's as far as it goes, shaddy/killers=No.
on the other hand contacting police for forum threats from random users looks like an extreme step,
It depends on how the threatened views the threat, damn if you believe your life is truly in danger, better reporting to the police than the mods.

Thanks for the concern, I feel relieved now..

I am not seeing as a death threat but probably hate to bitcoin lovers, my guess is that maybe you're not the only one been pm by him, maybe a disciple of roach in a sense. Just be cautious at all times @GreatArkansas, I'd suggest as well to report this to police if you think this harm you.

We are all going to die, as everything reaches maximum entropy.

Guess I'm on the terrorist watch list now.  :/

That's already a fact, but getting it randomly by PM, its way too creepy mate. (Well licking your own boobs as well 😂)

Even I would view it as a threat, but if its from the other country I can simply ignore it 😂

Guy is a complete troll. Likely an alt account of someone with an axe to grind. He should be banned for trolling, which is against the official / unofficial forum rules. Yet he hasn't posted since May, which means its highly likely he's observing your posts through his main account. Either way, he's a certified asshole.

To be honest, what he said was true but to PM it. I think there is a bit of creepiness but I think there is nothing to worry about as long as nobody knows your personal information.

Just ignore it I think. Mods will ban that account.

Just report it if you are scared with that message, but if it was me who received the same message, I'll just disregard it, maybe it's just a kid that has nothing to do with his life.

Already blocked the user and reported the message to Admins. Probably an alt account of someone, troll or not, still creepy/scary (since this is the first time I encountered on the internet).

Thanks all for the response, locking the thread now.

EDIT: the account already BANNED, thanks admin.
