  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

Honestly, it depends on a community by community basis how to handle these things.

Mods are people too so there's no harm in playing along for a while (and only for a while for the sake of maintaining order in the forum). At the end of the day the thread will have to be locked / deleted because it isn't actually conducive to conversation (at least in where it's posted -- suicide discussion).

What you could do (if permitted by head mod / admin if such a chain of command exists in SaSu) is just state intention of when thread will go down, maybe give another 30-60 minutes. Let people blow off steam, then delete thread later. That way you do your job, but also let people get it out of their system.

Else, just pull the trigger. No one is going to actually be upset. We know we're being silly and completely out-of-pocket.

It's rough being new, I totally get it. Reminds me when I did moderation for a multi-national gaming community that hosted their own servers. Always encountering situations that force me to decide "when do I step in?"

But it's a very human problem to decide when the fun ends and I don't think anyone actually has a concrete answer. That's usually why SOPs exist to make the decision making portion much less difficult. Especially because everyone has their own levels of tolerance for things. Some people snip the bud before it blooms, others wait for it to die naturally before stepping in.

You're doing the best you can! Keep it up!

I think the people who post non-suicide shit on the suicide discussion board are obvious trolls and/or engagement farming just because that side gets more traffic. I'd rather have a slower, more meaningful conversation in Off-topic than place it in the wrong board.

I think the OP was saying about anti-natilistic views but people took the meaning of it literal and it being against sex entirely.

Yeah, but antinatalism isn't suicide. I think such discussions belong in Politics and Philosophy.

Hmm, they often go together. At least on SaSu, they do.
I suppose my stance would be like saying general depression conversation should be moved to Off-topic.
But! If you did do things my way (move it to Politics and Philosophy before it gets derailed), then the antinatalism conversations would be taken more seriously and not get derailed, yes?

Or they don't think where to post before they post. Some may be trolls, but others might just neglect to look for other places to post.

I think that is a good idea, moving off topic discussions to the relevant forum. It used to be Methods, Venting, Offtopic... but now it is Discussion and Offtopic. I think other filler content is left to make it harder for the journalists to sift thru information, as well as give a sense of plausible deniability (no active effort to curate the CTB info in one place) but idk.

113,396 oh, also, I hope the title can't be set to "Moderator" for a regular user. Don't want to even test it as it can annoy actual moderation and or/result in penalties.
