Religious threats and the forum rules?

[Jackalope]

I just wanted to ask, if a person with a certain religious faith would threaten a member of this forum with religiously motivated violence ( for example a jihad) - is that permitted or not?

Like anything else, it would be evaluated on a case by case basis, after the fact. I'm going to go out on a limb here and speak for the staff: we aren't ever going to say it's permitted to threaten another member with violence. It isn't.

The action taken would depend wholly on the circumstances and could take the form of anything from a reminder of the rules to a permanent ban.

In any case, the proper way to handling this is to use the post reporting system wherever possible, or to PM a staff member if it's something that occurred in PM, the shoutbox, etc.
