First, I wasn’t referring only to situations about suicide.If you dont know some basic info about the person, you can be wasting your time answering wrong or digging out information. I guess you have to be someone who answers posts a lot to understand this. I love Christina’s suggestion to ask,How can I help you? Sometimes you get a rant that means mostly that the person needs professional help.
Second, does anyone but you know that suicidal postings are banned now?What good does that do if no one knows about it. I’m on the forums a lot and didnt know.Im betting that few people do know.
