Look at the other comments on this post. Some of us don’t take the threat seriously, but somedo. The idea which prompted this thread has been 1) deemed non-dangerous and 2) the OP has been advised (and resolved) not to share it anyway. Why such precaution if no one ever has dangerous ideas?
I agree that the probability is low, but the potential damage is sufficiently high that the expected damage is not inconsiderable. More immediately, it may needlessly cause anguish for people who consider it, well beyond the level of frustration imparted by, say, ordinary trolling.
There could be a FAQ in the wiki or somewhere.
