Another thing to keep in mind in the chat rooms is that the Community Guidelines Apply there as well! If something is outside of the guidelines on the forums, it is the same in chat.

If members wish to discuss something that is triggering and more detailed, they can and should make their own private rooms for those discussions.

As far as suicidal members go, no one here, not even the mod/admin team are trained to deal with this kind of situation. That member needs to find IRL help, call 911, go to ER, call friend or family to sit with them, whatever they can do to help themselves. No member should ever feel badly if they cannot help another member through something like this. It's very difficult even for the most seasoned or stable individuals. There is also information on PC that a member can access for assistance in what to do when feeling this way.

SI can also be very triggering to discuss. Discussion of how a member is doing SI and the results etc, are against guidelines on the forums and in chat as well. Mention of it is fine, details not so good.

Every member that joins chat is responsible for their triggers and their own self care. One can put someone on ignore, one can leave the chat room, one can pm a mod/admin regarding the problem. Do what is best for YOU to keep you safe.....that is the name of the game my friends!

I'm glad this was brought up, it's good to have reminders every now and again and for our newer members to read up on

All my best!
