You get your account blocked for schoolyard level behavior like that? It's not even a serious threat, it's childish emoting. I'd expect people can say "I wish all [opposing football team] players would die in a fire!" without official consequence. Maybe receive some angry tweets in response, maybe have some individuals unfollow me, but not an existential threat from the administrators. I wonder if the same group or individual who made the post also had the authority to have it flagged. But why?

I'd hate to have invested years participating and contributing, and then have something as absurd as this happen. Especially since there's no clear indication from the administrators as to what exactly is going on.
