If you were worried about another user..

They posted about suicide and you know they have a history of PTSD and other mental health struggles. You also know that they are grieving and so going through an especially hard time at the moment. They don't come online for a few days. Would you do anything? Would you report to admin so they can check in on them?

I would refer them to a crisis line or any medical/psychological intervention

@InterdimensionalSideEye I'm not sure and even if they do, not sure how supportive they are.

How do you report to admin? The flag button talks about illegal content/activity. They didn't do anything wrong. I'm just really worried?

So far, all that I have known that do that are attention seeking. People with the intent to commit suicide do not advertise it, they don't want interference. Those who threaten it openly want attention.

@TexChik maybe less risk of actually harming himself but I think still in pain, and needing someone to notice is not wrong. I think we can have suicidal thoughts and not have the intention of acting upon them.

@PatientlyWaiting25 Yes but seeking that type of attention at any cost is a bit pathetic because they really not going to harm themselves.

there is a facility to report to admin - Suicide or Self-harm - This user may be at risk of committing self-injury

other than that I don't know

I think that is all you can do unless you have any contact details or know their friends / family. It's not nice seeing posts like that..

Not much that can be done unless you have IRL information especially when we're anonymous except pray
Hope it turns out well
