Rule 6. THREATS, INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE, OR GLORIFICATION OF VIOLENCE

Any post that expresses a direct, indirect, or veiled threat to anyone - whether it be another member, some other individual, or a group in general - or an incitement to violence will be dealt with severely, may result in an immediate permanent banning, and may be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency. This includes (but is not limited to) what are known as "indirect threats," such as (for example) wishing that public officials or police officers come to harm, or expressing a desire for armed insurrection against the government.

Glorification of violence is praising, celebrating, or otherwise representing the violence in a positive light. This category also prohibits condoning intentional violence which resulted in serious injury or death, serious acts which aimed to hurt a disadvantaged group or groups (such as people of a specific ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation), or harmful acts conducted by known violent extremist or terrorist organizations. We also generally prohibit glorification of perpetrators and violent events that fall into one of the three categories listed.
