Threatening/Harrassing Negative Rep

[BizarroAnnihilus]

Anyone using the 'Negative Reputation' feature to send threatening and/or harassing notes will be dealt a warning/strike. Forum Moderators can read these comments and will act upon them as necessary when they are reported to us. Negative Rep in general is ok, but personal insults are not allowed. It's ok to disagree with someone and let them know about it, but do it civily.

Same rules apply as in Private Messages:

How are we defining 'overly hostile' or 'threatening'? Well, it's a bit of a gray area in some instances, but if you're threatening bodily harm to someone (or hypothetical bodily harm due to the distances spreading many of us) would be one instance of 'threatening'. Calling someone a fa**ot or c**t, asshhole, dick, dickhead etc., would be an example of 'overly hostile'.

If people wish to involve themselves in this type of behavior, then by all means you may solicit your proposed victim's email address from them and if they are amenable, email them all the threats and hostile messages to your heart's content that way. Just don't use the PM system, or you're going to take a vacation (perhaps a permanent one).
