If an user threatens another user (especially a rather new account) with getting him banned... is that OK? Or, better asked, should we do anything about it? (report or anything). Is a new (unofficial) rule needed?
This threat is verbal but in certain cases it must be prohibited especially when it involves physical threats or death threats as stated in rule no.8
[No threats to injure the body, death threats]. If the threats fall into the 2 categories above, I think the ban is a consequence that can be taken.
Whereas we must grow thick skin in order to appear more immune to verbal threats from those who may not like or hate us. Those threats are bullshit and I think the best option is to ignore them, but if neutral tags are allowed then I also think it's a good choice.
Why should we believe and listen to the threats of every jerk who threatens to do something against another user?
Here on the forum, no one knows anyone. Why be afraid of simple letters and not a person? Because the one who threatens is just letters on a screen. The rudeness that some users show only suggests that most likely in life these people are deeply unhappy, and they are trying to somehow make up for the humiliation from others offline, here on the forum.
If users know each other in real life, then for sure they will take their relationship offline.
I think one of the users who often get the worst threats and prayers from cheaters is the cheaters-hunter, it's an expression of disappointment that should be ignored more than it really is. So we really had to ignore it.
