CloseI think that when someone personally interprets it as a threat, that's where a problem really comes up. It's one thing for a person to speak figuratively, but it become something entirely else when someone responds, "Are you threatening me?" No apology. No clarification. Really?

They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

I mean on the one hand, it does seem a bit extreme for a ban, but on the other, the way that conversation was going already had a weird, unhinged kind of vibe to it, so I can't really blame anyone involved for being not-so-charitable in their interpretation.
And, y'know, I also can't complain too much about strict guidelines WRT death threats these days. :/ Like, maybe if you can't avoid that in communication, you need to rethink how you communicate.

Kloe, I don't think he made a death threat, the dude was talking with yes, abit of pompous flaire, but not a death threat.
And so what if someone takes a veeeerrry general statement as a threat? It doesnt make it one.

The dude was a weird asshole, I saw that coming from a mile away with his first posts. But yes, very extreme and and stretched for a ban.
Like I said, I feel a lot worse has been said and let go.

Eh, maybe, but I also feel like overall context makes this instance at least understandable. Like I probably wouldn't've made that call, but it doesn't seem really out of line to me. Possibly just because that whole exchange was freakin weird.
author=InfectionFilesauthor=pianotmI mean, I didn't care for the guy on what I read and knew he wasn't going to be a good addition or anything. But that really felt like a metaphorical symbolism or some such shit than an actual threat.
Yeah, NS sure seemed to take it as a threat.
Sorry, NS. But I think you blew that a little out of proportion. You really think this guy was gonna come chop your head off somehow? I feel like much worse has been said between users than that lol
I mean, I would definitely agree with you at least partially - if I had actually done anything to "blow things out of proportion" or otherwise contribute to his ban. But I never did. I never even reported the guy. All I did was post my response, in which I straight out asked if he was trying to threaten me or not, and waited for a reply. When I came back the next morning, he was banne.
Personally, I too think that the staff's reaction might have been a little too harsh. But I also won't pretend I'm sad to see this person gone. Since even though I never truly felt their - possible - threats were believable or frightening whatsoever, I will admit their attitude and behaviour were unnecessarily aggressive and kind of disturbing. Anyway, what's done is done, and I trust the mods to know why they chose to act the way they did.
