Direct messages from /r/conspiracy users saying "kill yourself"

8  2017-05-10 by autopornbot

I've gotten a few of these recently. I report them, but what else can be done?

Sorry this isn't exactly /r/conspiracy topic, but the posters are from this sub (they quote my posts from here in the messages).

It doesn't really bother me, but it's a shitty thing to do. It's really immature and I would like to see this sub rise above this kind of thing.

Disturbed people gotta disturb. Block and move on

These people are just mildy bullyish. Forgive, forget, and ignore is always the best bet. Taking it personal is not a good idea.

If you sub T_D it's a weekly thing.

Not surprising it comes from both sides of the political spectrum. As much as I despise T_D, that's very immature.

I've had my first case like this earlier this week. First time it happened to me

Ha. I got messages from him too.

Not surprising. You're another one of us dirty libtards!

Check his history, he comments on futurology and space.

I call him SpaceMan. He's a mentally disturbed dude. Report his account and keep trucking. (He has like 10 of them of varying ages)

Yeah, it seems like an alt account.

Here is one of his accounts:

Proof?

In point of fact it does not, actually. Lol.

Looks like 4chan is leaking again.

Yea we can't view your message with that's link.

My bad. here's a screenie: http://imgur.com/a/1ctKV

nobody ever tells me to kill myself. i'm so alone.

Don't worry about it man, personally I think you should blow your own brains out asap, and I'm positive you would do amazing at it :)

thx buddy. u da man

Yeah, no one tells me to die in a fire either. What is wrong with me?

nobody ever tells me to kill myself. [Removed] and banned in 4 3 2......

For the record, I don't want you to kill yourself.

thanks :)

It means you are doing something right. I've gotten several of these, and it just amuses me. How pathetic is your life if you feel good about telling others to kill themselves if you disagree with them? I figure its got to be a psychotic 16 year old with mental issues and not enough to do.

But mods or someone should do something. The report button seems to be absolutely useless.

I get them every now and again.

The moron can't even use proper grammar.

It's just ironic that they are conspiring against you... on this sub... Also, don't let them bring you down, people are just mean and the best you can do is surround yourself with people who mean well to you :)

I prefer YIFF IN HELL FUR FAGS, kill yourself is too easy.

Okay, let me try to give you a mod perspective on this. We absolutely don't allow people to tell others to kill themselves in this sub. If I see it, it's usually only one warning and they're out (sometimes people get heated here, we get that), or sometimes it's a straight ban (new accounts usually get straight bans).

When it comes to users PMing other users, that's really a reddit admin issue, and the right thing to do is report it to the admins like you have. In this case, it looks like that account has been suspended, so the admins did what they're supposed to.

The reason us mods won't typically ban people for what they do in PMs is that we have no way to verify what they said. I have no reason to doubt you in this case, but it's trivial for anyone to make a mock-up screenshot. If we banned people for what they allegedly sent others in PMs, and people knew we did, we'd see people trying to get others banned by doctoring proof for this.

TLDR: If you see this in our sub, report the comment and it will be dealt with, harshly. If it happens in PM, report to the admins; we can't do anything about it.

But did you do it though?
