Mnhq please please can you reconsider your stance on suicidal messages on these boards. I know you've taken advice from the Samaritans, but I've been suicidal before, there is no way I could have phoned and spoken to someone that way, and the email service for the Samaritans isn't an instant service.
People are posting here to talk, and it upsets me so much then the posts are deleted immediately. They are crying out in the moment of need, I don't think deleting the posts is helping them at all.
Please don't think i don't respect everything else you do on this site, it's just this one subject that really gets to me.
If someone wants to talk when they are in that situation, it should be encouraged, not told to phone the Samaritans and then deleted, it's not one size fits all, not everyone wants to talk out loud to someone.
Please reconsider this.
