I saw the notifications and didn't see a reason to do anything.

This is okay with me only if the mods of any particular forum approve it. If killa wants to give "time out' ban power to you, fine. But this is totally their decision.

Well I didn't actually think there was a chance this guy was going to come to nath's house and bash his teeth in, if that's what you're implying. But the admins and other mods have been pretty stringently intolerant of that type of post in the past, and given the history of the MC Chris account, it looked to me like a bannable offense. Again, probably a mistake.

wrt #2: Yes.

mia,

"But the admins and other mods have been pretty stringently intolerant of that type of post in the past"

You write to someone "Joe, I am gonna break into your house." Joe responds "Mia, if you break into my house, I will shoot you."

You seriously think that is a ban-on-sight level offense by Joe?

I am starting to believe you are actually being serious here, which is sorta blowing my mind.

You're probably right.

Re: banned MC Chris for 5 days for physical threats in OOT
 

I'm not taking sides here, but to Mia's point when someone posts DIAGF, we don't expect they're actually going to show up with Crisco and matches.

That being said, I can't see doing this one out of forum.

Also, McChris has been a huge troll today.

eme,

That's a perfectly valid point. And having zero tolerance to even joking threats is a fine policy if that's what 2+2 wants.

But if that's the case, I don't see why nath should be allowed to out of the blue threaten someone with smashing their mailbox.

To be clear, I'm not asking for this (I want nothing to do with modding in OOT) just throwing it out there as a concept for discussion.

There's a big difference between threats of physical violence against people and threats to destroy property, both in the way they've been dealt with on these forums in the past and legally.
