I agree completely. We need a clear policy on this. Jimbo has already said this stuff should not be ignored and should be reported immediately. Let we forget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4chan#Pflugerville_High_School_terrorist_th reat.

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?
