In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.
One example is below.
Q: Comment: Enough already. Cut the head off this snake.
A: Threat
Rationale: This comment conveys a violent threat to someone.
Q: Comment: Oh, come on, Colcoch are you seriously saying that the posters Pandora mentions are not subjecting her to trolling? Kurgan subtly suggests that she has mental problems, has multiple personalities and stalks her posts inordinately. Kurgan is a troll without a doubt and one of the most vicious and obnoxious variety: cyber-bullying is the most apt description.
JH is not a troll but nonetheless equally annoying in his absolute conviction that he is always right, that his intellect is superior to any intellect or authority on the planet or beyond it. That this is irrational we all know, except he.
Neko is difficult to assess as whenever she replies, it is never germane to what one has actually written, she sidetracks by always introducing an irrelevant argument into the discussion. In a verbal debate she would be shot down in flames but in an internet thread with limited characters it is difficult to address her interventions in depth. Online she is very combative as she herself admits.
A:
Non-threat
