friends help: A Rant:Can you believe? - Help.com

I agree and disagree. I myself come and go, but not b/c I don’t want to help…more b/c of life. Though people do seem to get a bit dramatic with the suicide over break-ups/ Yes, I have written a few posts myself that lean that direction, if not coming right out to say, but then again….I really do suffer from sever depression and social anxiety…ANYWHO, I do agree that some people on here are, well, assholes. Lol, I did read it all, now I shall explore the rest of your mind! O.O

More and more, I find I’m not looking at suicide posts unless they’re from a user I know, and even some users who continually post the same kind of suicide topics, I just pass by. There should be a limit on suicide posts or something…..

I don’t mind suggesting solutions to problems that aren’t suicide related, but ask me to help out an anonymous suicide person, and I’ll just ignore them.

I completely agree. all the smarta55es who come one here just to mess around and screw with peoples head should all burn in he!!. on the other hand, the ones who truly want or need help, should be able to give/recieve it without getting sidetricked or undermined by morons telling people to go kill themsleves or making random comments that have nothing to do with the post and just frustrate people.

I found this site on a night that I needed a miracle. I’m not the only one. It’s not perfect, just like the world around us, it has flaws. One thing I can say is that if you stick with it, well it sort of pays forward. Dont let the sniping comments of a few people make you walk away. The reason this place is so successful is that it has a ‘backbone’ of people who have been there, done that and worn the tee shirt. And the most amazing thing is that it is literally growing by the day. Take a bit of time and have a bit of patience. Watch out for replies you agree with and ask those people to be your friend. It sounds a bit playground but the bigger people’s friends lists are getting, the stronger this place is becoming.

I can agree with this in theory… I am not saying that I will leave because of one or two idiots, but it seems to me lately that there are so many more out there than when I first found this place. It’s frustrating like the rest of the world yes, however some people come here looking for friendship, advice, even solace. I have written my share of suicide of love posts myself, however I feel that I have become a better person since being here. I just think that if you’re going to stay you should be productive, not counterproductive, which is all the smarta55es do…
Thanx for your replies, don’t get too scared walking around in my playground, it’s only scary if you’re not crazy. Invite your friends!

the person recently who advises someone to kill themselves
had all of their replies deleted. And rightly so.
Most of us regular people here will not tolerate suggestions to kill yourself.
There is a place for euthanasia. But it is rare and must be handled professionally.
Otherwise no one here should advise such a thing.

Geez I have been gone for awhile, someone actually said that?

Yes someone was suffering from a painful disease.
And a person kept telling them to kill themselves.
I reported them and had the replies removed.

No need of a name, but was it a long-time member or a newbie?

newbie

Yeah that’s what bothers me, it’s the newbies that I’ve seen causing the most disturbances. I wish I had a solution, the only thing I can think of is forcing people to sign up and e-mail confirm sign-up before they can post, make it more tedious to spam. But I wouldn’t even know who to take it to and here is neither the time nor place to discuss it.

You know the thing Cole - I was Anon and I’m now a Mod

You would be very suprised how much this place is actually starting to moderate itself. Help.com is becoming a force to be reckoned with - trust the Mods, report everything that doesnt seem right - you literally cut our Mod time in half. There are new ideas that need to be considered - you can put any of them in front of a moderator who will put it to the Admin of the site or you can even shout the Admin himself (if the idea is beyond stunning lol, no actually you really can shout him) - should you have an idea you wish to be considered that you think will improve the site then make sure it gets to us - Regards Mas

I agree with this statement, those who only wants to destroy this wonderful place by making troll posts, and replies, some of my friends has troll like behaviour, and it sometimes annoys me!

Sorry to hear of this too, however I was talking about someone who’d been here for a while and it is a seperate incident. I don’t want to get involved with anyone trying to commit suicide… more so, I do not wish to really associate with those who provoke it… I could name a few… It’s no matter now, I’ve been disappointed enough here. I wish to not bother anyone with my problems who would potentially hurt me more, even if they are thousands of miles away. Words hurt, spoken or not.

To me it’d probably get more drive if you forwarded it. Thanks for actually suggesting it.
