Suggestion about suicide prevention

[Aoi Magi]

Oh I agree. My suggestion was to provide links/numbers where you could call professionals for help.

I would support this.  The point being that online friends often mean as much as IRL friends.  This situation could come up, and having a plan or procedure is prudent.

Thing is, people come here from all over the world. Some places don't even have these facilities, and even if they do, it would be a huge list for the forum staff/members to maintain and keep updated. Besides, what are we to do with said numbers when we don't have any personally identifying info on the person? How do we know which number to use for which member? And I don't think the authorities can do much even if we tell them "a member with username XYZ is attempting suicide". Unless we begin collecting the necessary info from all members, an instant google search might be more helpful than a potentially outdated link-list.
