"Threats and threatening language are not allowed. We consider a threat to be a statement of intent to cause harm to a specific member. Threats include the suggestion or promotion of self-harm."

Or is it something we can all just throw around at our leasure?

I bet context matters. I've used that term regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine to no issue, but if I tell you that directly, the staff have every right to read for context and decide whether or not I'm threatening you.

You got a 24 hour suspension.

If you were banned we wouldn't be communicating.
