# Treat all claims seriously
#* Many threats are empty, but leave that evaluation to Bharatpedia emergency contacts and, where needed, the police.
#* If you are in immediate danger, call your [[List of emergency telephone numbers|local emergency services]].
# Contact Bharatpedia emergency
#* [[Special:EmailUser/Emergency|Click here to message the emergency team]] with details of the threat. If your account does not have email enabled, you can email <code>{{nospam|emergency|bharatpedia.org}}</code> directly.
#* These contact methods are for threats of physical harm (including self-harm) only.<noinclude> For other concerns, see [[Bharatpedia:Contact us]].</noinclude>
#* Provide the exact name or URL of the page where you saw the threat, the time that you saw it, and your time zone. Or (if you know how) provide a [[Help:Diff|diff link]].
#* This address is monitored around the clock. Staff will typically acknowledge your email immediately. (Check your junk folder.)
#** If you don't hear back within 30 minutes, forward your email to <code>{{nospam|emergency|bharatpedia.org}}</code>.
#* Do not scatter the same report across unrelated mailboxes, as this creates confusion.
#* Where the threat appears genuine, Bharatpedia will preserve the relevant diffs and may contact the appropriate authorities in India.
# Contact Bharatpedia [[BP:Administrators|administrators]] privately
#* Use [[Bharatpedia:Emailing users|email]], [[Bharatpedia:IRC#List of useful channels|IRC]], or other low-visibility methods, not noticeboards or talk pages.
#* If in doubt, the primary method is to use IRC and join the channel. To do this quickly and using your browser.
#* Alternatively, you may [[User:Oversight|email the oversight team]] at <code>{{oversight email}}</code>. Even if the threat does not need [[BP:OS|suppression]], oversighters can apply [[BP:REVDEL|revision deletion]] and other administrative actions as needed.
#* If you need to find an administrator who is active on Bharatpedia right now, you can use the Recently Active Users tool to locate one.
#* Administrators may contact other administrators using the same steps as above, especially if they need advice on how to respond.

== Advice for administrators ==
*[[Special:EmailUser/Emergency|Message the emergency team]] with details of the threat.
*Threats of suicide or other self-harm require discretion on the question of blocking but generally, specific threats should be removed (with a thoughtfully worded edit summary) and [[Bharatpedia:Revision deletion|revision deleted]], pending [[Bharatpedia:Requests for oversight|oversight]].
*Threats against others should be met with blocking (generally including removal of talk page access) and possibly blocking email as well. Such threats should be blanked; consider applying [[Bharatpedia:Revision deletion|revdel]] as well.
*[[Bharatpedia:Requests for oversight|Request oversight (suppression)]] of any post containing [[Bharatpedia:Oversight#Policy|personal information]].
*Try to be discreet (e.g., stay off high-traffic noticeboards).
