Harassment
The website really doesn't have a harassment policy because it was made for harassment. That said, after some high-profile suicides, next to every answer and profile, there are options to report and block users.
That being said, hanging yourself is always the best option.

Hannah Smith
Hannah Smith, an English attention seeker, was fed up with all the hate she was recieving on her Ask.fm, so she decided to kill herself. Her parents called for greater regulation of the site or it's complete shutdown. It was later revealed that she sent herself at least 100 of the messages thought to have contributed to her suicide.
