There always can be bad actors who like attention, cause you basically can't prove it unless the user gave up a lot of info about themselves and the news coverage of the act can be tied to it.
While you're technically 'right', it's also important to respect others and the experiences they share. Without confirmation or observation, it would indeed just be an anecdote, and like anything online, it could lack reliability.
Imagine putting effort into the site seeking self-deliverance, only to have people question your authenticity after you are gone? That would feel pretty unfair and shitty, but I fully understand the challenge of not being able to "prove" that it happened. I hear you, but let's err on the side of going with 'presumed successful' without potentially degrading other people's experiences they have been gracious enough to share with us!
And by that i meant at least the fact that the person didn't login to the site for a long time from the last message about ending it
Anyway, I'd like to read someone's last thoughts before hanging if there are some believable cases
Here are a few (some) goodbye threads from users who reported hanging as their method who have not been seen since: [

And when doing full suspension it takes courage to just do a move. Then there's no turning back no matter how painful it feels
That's part of why it's a time-tested method—dating back as long as humanity has used ligatures. It's remarkably effective unless someone intervenes or the anchor point fails. When executed correctly, it's very reliable. Which is why in
America it remains the #2 method behind firearms, the
#1 method in Canada, and the #1 method for men in the UK and now also the
#1 method for women in the UK (it used to be #2; so regardless if #1 or #2, speaks volumes still), the
#1 method in
Australia,
#1 across Europe, etc, etc, etc. It is widely known for its reliability, access to the materials needed without restrictions like other methods might need (such as guns). Buying a good rope is cheap and easy to purchase for most people. In fact, it is probably among the most cost effective methods in addition to its reliability.
No wonder it is so popular:
- Cost effective
- Relatively easy
- Lethally effective
- Legal (not sure anyone has any sort of legal restriction to buying or making rope)
- Simple
- Peaceful (loss of consciousness is rapid when properly done)
Of course the biggest downside is the risk of potential long-term damage if you are rescued or if you hang for a bit then have the anchor point give out or the rope breaks and you survive thereafter. The logistics can be a little difficult for some but I suspect people very motivated without other means have absolutely considered this.
Of course, the SI can be a bitch to overcome with this method but that can exist with any method to varying degrees. But given given it's #1 (well #2 in the USA) ranking, people obviously can and do frequently overcome it but anyone in that much tremendous pain and suffering likely have come to the end of their rope (no pun intended) anyways to bring them to the point they are able to step off the chair/stool/whatever it is in order to do the hanging. It certainly is not for everyone who wants self deliverance and I fully can understand the reasons why. Every method certainly has its pros/cons of course. In balance, hanging has a lot of very solid pros for it which is why it is statistically so popular.
No method is easy because the body wants to live even if we don't.
Abolustely correct!
It's logical to place it behind the neck in the middle. That way it'll constraint the throat effectively.
It's less about constricting the "throat"—which many might associate with the windpipe—and more about cutting off the supply to the carotid arteries. When people hear "throat," it often brings to mind images of the esophagus or the pharynx, at least for me.
they were suffocating for too long
It seems there may be some misunderstanding about what constitutes a good hanging. While it's absolutely true that tightening a ligature around the neck can obstruct the airway, leading to suffocation and oxygen deprivation, the most effective method compresses the carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. This compression causes a rapid decrease in blood flow, resulting in unconsciousness within seconds. If the pressure continues, it will lead to brain death. Granted, I will give you that this could be difficult to know or pull off precisely and the result is going to yield the same - death.
To clarify, most statistics regarding hanging do often refer to "suffocation (including hanging)" or "hanging/suffocation," which is a valid perspective on why you said that. However, it's important to acknowledge that, barring rescue or a failure in the anchor point, hanging is one of the most reliably fatal methods. Ultimately, whether death results from lack of oxygen to the brain or suffocation, the outcome remains which bodes well for this method.

Agreed fully with this.
Hope something in here is helpful in your educational quest, and I hope you find everything you are looking for and get peace & serenity.
