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?
If you take them seriously (and everyone follows up) you end up with the FBI coming down on a 13 year old. If you don't there is a slight chance a serious crime will occur which you might have prevented.
