Just wondering what the AWS policy is in regards to a forum member threatening violence with a firearm against another member on these forums.  Also, what's the policy in regards to vile private messages being sent to other members?   Thanks.

We don't allow death threats or vile messages.

To Ross AWS Marketing:

That's nice to know Ross.  I'd like to point out that the person who threatened to shoot me with a firearm and sent me two vile private messages is still posting all over this forum.  It's nice to know AWS is on top of this and won't tolerate internet death threats.  Thanks Ross.

Let me be very clear that if you feel threatened, it is imperative that you refrain from using the forum until you feel you are out of danger.

Will do.  This will be my last post until I sort this out.  I trust that my private info is SAFE from this mental defective threatening me with a gun?  AWS will deal with this person?  Thanks.

Ross,

The person threatening me with a firearm  claims he knows you (via ANOTHER vile Private Message) and that you won't do anything to him.  It appears to be true as he's still posting away here and sending profanity laced messages to me.

Thanks for the help Ross.  It's nice to know that AWS doesn't tolerate this behavior.

You can click on a user's name and it will take you to their profile. Then click on "Ignore." That will block them from sending you PMs.
