View submission: Announcing Reddit’s Public Bug Bounty Program Launch
Last I checked, such messages if specific enough get refered to law enforcement when reported. All they can do is ban a user and refer relevant information to law enforcement because we don't yet live in a dystopia where a private company can charge someone with a crime.

Yeah, but they don't do that. I and many others have reported violent threats multiple time and the users are happily posting away elsewhere.
In the spirit of Joe Biden's quote "Don't tell me what your priorities are, show me your budget and I'll tell you what your priorities are," Reddit admins do not care about violent speech. If they did, then they would fund the teams necessary to take appropriate action.
