Violent threats policy
You may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people. We also prohibit the glorification of violence.
Healthy conversation is only possible when people feel safe from abuse and don’t resort to using violent language. For this reason, we have a policy against threatening violence on Lineup. We define violent threats as statements of an intent to kill or inflict serious physical harm on a specific person or group of people.

- threatening to sexually assault someone;
