Mass Death Threat Just Made Directly Toward Blizzard HQ on General Discussion

Is there a way to report this beyond the forums? Somebody just made a post suggesting that Blizzard HQ should be nuked and I can’t just wait on moderators to shut the post down and hope they do something more. It’s too easy to look at something like that and assume they’re not being serious, but any death threat or suggestion of violence toward real people is serious and assuming such threats are harmless has proven to be a disastrous mistake. Something has to be done about this because it’s unacceptable and sick.

You’d report the post as the blue posters don’t really handle anything outside of this forum.

Just using the normal reporting means works, Idontknowhow. A Moderator will review the report as soon as they can, if they aren’t already.

They just removed the post. I’m still concerned that nothing else is going to come of this because they should at least be tipped off to their local authorities for making a threat like that, but I guess it’s out of my hands now. Thanks.

We have policies in place to handle these kinds of reports, which does include removing the public-facing thread. I can assure you that we take these things very seriously.
