    I think it depends on the seriousness. Not to say that phsical abuse is not serious, but i don't think it would be feasible to check out every threat. However, if I said, with the nickname I'm using, that I had started a major forest fire in which people had been killed, I think they would investigate. Its very hard to prove that it was the actual person doing the posting, and not an imposter.

    I can't imagine there is much we can do - this is all so anonymous.
