Yeah, that feedback is inappropriate for sure, but it's not exactly a death threat. Nor is it likely to cause anyone to act on his call for those members to be killed--so in other words, it's just empty internet trolling and we've seen crap like that on bitcointalk before.

That feedback should probably get removed by the mods if they're willing to do so, and I don't think it's restricting anything but some immature asshole's anger. I couldn't care less if this forum deletes nonsense like that; I've had plenty of posts deleted by mods. I care way more about Youtube and other social media platforms censoring what viewers get to see, because it has infinitely more influence on how people think about things than a silly little case of an angry shitposter.

yes, I guess everyone on this forum can recognize such nonsense, I just wonder if that's enough to ban such users. from such people, we cannot expect any constructive participation in the discussion.
Because all other networks are full of trolls like this, maybe this forum, as a bearer of crypto communities can insist on rules of civilized behaviour.
Just my two cents.

Youtube just took down an upload of the movie "The Day After" which had been up for years. A lot of you probably aren't familiar with it, because it was a made-for-television movie from 1983, but it deals with nuclear war between the US and what was then the USSR. I thought it was time for a rewatch, and it had been there as recently as a month ago...but now it's gone, and I'm guessing it isn't the uploader who pulled it. Shit like that makes me want to pull some hair out (and perhaps not my own).

I remember this attitude the same as GameProtect was spamming in trust profile those who support the flag that was created.

At that time I used the ignore button and completely forget the name who was spamming negative feedback on my profile which is I know it's a nonsense explanation because I know that the Trust System is decentralized and it's unlikely to happen that it will remove by any staff here that left by that user. Though considering it's a death threat I think ignoring that user might help you at a moment. But I'd like to hear the staff about this if this is possible to remove which is death threats is against the rule and should be a bannable offense.

Anyway, I supported the flag, and let's see if that user tagging me too.

but where shall we draw the line? In this case, he is here calling for the kill, no matter how naive and stupid it sounds should we allow such speech here?

I look at it as a death threat, which I don't think is allowed here according to the forum rules. Personally, I wouldn't be rattled by any form of death threats by a random online scammer, but we are a community of different people who react differently.

Such users are usually banned, though I am not sure if admin has ever removed or changed such feedback left by users.

That would likely be something that qualifies to be removed from the various trust profiles, as it is spam. There is also an argument the sent ratings amount to death threats, which would be against another rule.

user interiawp is completely exposed, begging for money under the pretext of a donation for the victims of the war in Ukraine. obviously some immature kid.
to all objections that it is necessary to attach some evidence, he negative tagged all of us. I don't see it as a problem, usually, every scammer gives me a negative rating with some nonsense explanation.

freedom of speech is fine, but do we need users like this here?
