Am I really the only one that thinks there should be a *crystal clear policy
- relating to threats? Every time something like this happens, there is big
discussion on what *should* happen. There is a reference as to what to do with suicide threats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Potentially_suicidal_users.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Potentially_suicidal_users
I think Jimbo himself has made it clear on several occasions that we should take these things seriously. Instead, whenever these are brought to AN / ANI, some people take it upon themselves to declare these as pranks, or jokes. Is that really appropriate?
He has, and so has Mike Godwin in the current discussion. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_notice...
I'm disappointed that an administrator who is usually well-respected by the community would be so dismissive of potential problems.
