If it's to do with mental health MN will move it to mental health so permanently there? Doesn't make sense to me the point of chat and perhaps chat should make it clear that 'topics are subject to be moved thus eventually permanent despite the 90 day removal rule" kinda puts people off posting/starting sensitive threads or maybe that's just me...

Just read a thread here being moved by Dawn @ MN to mental health!

Hi Cornonthecob,

We're happy to explain things.

We've recently met with representatives from Mind and the Samaritans to discuss the issue of threads where the OP is feeling suicidal. You can see the whole thread here.

As a result of these discussions, we have a new set of guidelines in place for any such threads - one of which is that we're obliged to move the thread over to our Mental Health topic. We do always inform the OP before moving it, and, just for the record, if the thread was started in Chat it will still auto-delete after 90 days.

We would of course delete such a thread at the OP's request if they wanted it to disappear sooner.

Hope that clears things up. Fwiw, we haven't actually moved the thread in question over yet because we can see the OP is receiving a good deal of advice and support where it is, but we will have to before the day's out.

We may also have to move this thread over to Site Stuff... Smile
