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

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:

//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?
