You're not a law enforcement organization. You don't have the ability to investigate and determine whether or not the threat is genuine or if it's an agent provocateur.

Banning them creates a hazard, since now to get an opponent banned from the service, they can create content that reaches to this level.

It's a Layer 8 DDOS.

What I don't get is how online forums with free registration have been a thing for WELL over 30 years now, yet some people think that the possibility that people make accounts to deliberately post things to get the forum sanctioned is still viewed as some insane conspiracy theory - and you a monster, if you suggest the good guys would ever do such a thing "to themselves".

You are in a thread where most folks are celebrating convincing a fire dept to stop protecting a house (while holding matches behind their back).

Everyone knows what you are saying is possible but nooone will admit it.
