Responding to threats/es

If you see a credible threat to life, limb, property or of child abuse (including self-harm):

Treat it seriously
 * Many threats are empty, but don't make that evaluation yourself leave that responsibility to the Miraheze board.
 * If you or are in immediate danger, call your local emergency services.
 * If comfortable, you should also call emergency services if someone else is at immediate risk. We can not always respond.

Contact the board Immediately email   with details of the threat.
 * This address is for threats to life, limb, property or regarding child abuse only . For other concerns, see Help.
 * Include a screenshot of the threat and a link to the page.
 * We will take appropriate action, such as tracing locations and contacting authorities.

Contact administrators In addition to emailing the board as above, notify Site administrators privately. . If you don't have an IRC client, click the green connect button to launch web-based IRC.
 * Even if you are an administrator, notify other administrators.
 * Use email, IRC, Discord or other low-visibility methods. Avoid noticeboards or talk pages when reporting.
 * If in doubt, join.
 * Also request oversight, as such posts often contain personal information requiring suppression.

Advice for administrators

 * Threats of suicide or self-harm require discretion on the questions of blocking or removal of posts.
 * Threats of violence against others should be met with blocking (generally including removal of talk page access) and possibly blocking email as well. Such threats should be removed; consider also deleting the problematic revision from public view.
 * If in doubt, email the team at.
