@Princess Arabia You have a strong desire for justice, but it won't be of much use on an online forum. There's a "report post"-button on top of each post (or flag if you're logged in on the phone), leave the rest up to the mods. No need to create threads about users, they deal with enough shit already.

This is not about justice and online forums are not less significant than real life scenarios. Authorities have solved crimes using social media many times. If this guy was to go out and commit real crimes as he so many times suggested here, and it was of some real significance where people were hurt or killed (as he stated women should be murdered for whatever his post was about at the time) his remarks on this forum could be used as evidence in a court of law. 

We take these things lightly and wait until something happens then we say if we had only seen the signs. These threats are extremities and should not be taken lightly especially when coming from someone who is obviously mentally unstable which is noticeable by his posts here on a consistent basis. It's one thing to be mentally ill but it's another to be threatening violence against random people on a public forum and for it to be just wiped under the table.

I also search for a report option and couldn't find it and I also left a comment under his post about it first before starting a thread which I stated that I was reluctant to do knowing quite well I would have gotten some backlash for doing so as I'm currently getting from you. I don't see the relation to people dealing with enough shit from moderators to someone threatening violence against women all the time. I mean, it's all the time and you're coming at me like I am the perpetrator. Until something happens to us personally, we don't give a damn, then we cry for justice when it hits home because now it's personal.

Me starting a separate thread to you is more important than someone threatening violence. That, to you, should be pointed out, not his disturbing behavior. Maybe, just maybe, my starting a separate thread might bring enough attention to this disturbance as I have, in the past did what you suggested by reporting it privately via P.M. a while back. This was not just a spur-of-the-moment decision I made. I did put some thought to it. I was even thinking of exiting the forum because of it, so I don't have to deal with seeing those kinds of posts consistently and I'm aware that I can ignore a user, but I chose not to. If something was directly aimed at me that I found annoying or if someone kept personally attacking me and I got tired of it, maybe that would be grounds for me to ignore the user but not in this case. These are serious threats that are aimed at the public and not a squabble amongst users that can be fixed by an ignore button. 

I kept downplaying my own concerns by saying I was overreacting, but it wasn't genuine. I really didn't think I was overreacting and I wasn't being true to my feelings, but because I'm aware I could have received comments like yours, I kept telling myself I was overreacting; but it wasn't authentic to who I know myself to be. I don't always speak up about things and I myself have said things on here I wasn't proud of, but overreacting isn't one of them, nor do I back down from situations where I feel like I could be of some assistance by bringing it forth, nor do I hide behind a computer screen in an anonymous state and bash people who are trying to do the right thing with good intentions, even if it turned out not to be the right thing to do. The intention was all that mattered and it was not to shame anyone nor shed light on some silly or miniscule threat that should just be ignored.

You learn something new every day. I didn’t know you can report your own posts as well

Well darn, that looks like a flag. Would love to test it out to see what country it belongs to. Thanks for pointing it out.
