It also makes sense that the mods of this subreddit would have access to content and resources that most of us wouldn't, since I'm sure most removed comments/posts are logged somewhere that you-all can see and refer to if a problem arises. If they desired to I'm sure they could find the thread about that incident. Not sure why some people here are implying that it couldn't have happened as there were actual news articles about that individual being arrested and having both the means and will to carry out such an act. I do remember some years back that r/Columbine successfully stopped a potential mass shooting from happening, due to concern from both the mod team and the users of the sub. We take all reports sent to us seriously, and we thank you all for helping us with these reports. This happened through one sub I moderate on, and helped bring an arrest a year later when more threats were made, and the suspect was found with weapons and a manifesto. If they are reported and nothing comes from it, a report a year later could help immensely. This allows all information to be placed at once instead of multiple vague reports to the FBI, which can slow down resources.Īt the very least, these processes will build a history for this person. We also work with multiple other teams to gather information and build one report to FBI with as much information as we can possibly get in one single report. Often times, people who are being reported to us have made comments in the past that you cannot see as they’ve been removed by other means such as automod, for example. If the possible threat is exclusively on Reddit, please reach out to us via Modmail. An immediate threat would be someone making direct threats. If it is an immediate threat, call 911 (or your local equivalent emergency line). Remember, wellness checks can be requested as well. They will collect information from you, and investigate further if need be. If it is not an immediate threat, call your local non emergency line. If your suspicions are offline, local, and personal/someone you know personally: There have been a lot of posts lately asking what to do if you suspect someone is planning to commit a mass shooting/mass attack of some kind.
