We're okay with people discussing their somewhat vague thoughts or feelings they have about wanting to commit suicide. Such posts should be marked with a trigger icon when made, and usually posted in the Depression forum.

We're not okay with people discussing their specific intentions, methods, or such in a way to suggest they are currently in crisis and in need of immediate assistance. We're not a crisis hotline, and are not setup to deal with people in such immediate need. We believe that when a person is at that point, they should reach out for a real-world resource in getting help.

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify these issues.

Best,
