This may enable suicidal posters to receive more effective support, but there are trade-offs: it may also be stressful for other members, attract suicidal posters (and thereby increase the incidence of suicide in the group), and make the group more vulnerable to false reports.

> BobWhen people imply that they are going to swallow 300 pills with Vodka, I feel very helpless because there is little I can do to change their actions if they are no longer posting. Such behaviour makes me feel manipulated in some ways. I don't know if the person is half dead somewhere or reading the board looking to see the reactions of other members on the board. It's not healthy to receive or look for negative attention.
However, I can see that you do not agree with any of this so I will not mention it again. But it's not healthy for me to read these type of posts so I will just ignore them.
Other members posted similiar responses to mine, but you picked on me because I was recently blocked. I feel singled out.
I feel like no one gives a damn. And I am 100% certain that if I kill myself no one will read about it here. I don't communicate with people outside of the Forum to protect myself.
