Domination


it shows how useless the pinned threads are to new members. i know the search takes time to use but literally no one looks at the methods and non-methods stickies...

I wish that posting could be blocked with a message "read 3 pinned threads for at least 15 seconds before posting"

i've long thought there should be "required reading" when signing up. specifically, "do not do these things". there isnt, right? you joined pretty recently and i completely forgot

no requirement... can like posts as soon as my acc was registered, then later got approved without even verifying email! (later verified tho)

There was also no requirement for accuracy in the signup reason... as I mentioned many times, I've corrected the fiction but no mod even asked about the discrepancy between chat messages and signup reason... had I not corrected it, I doubt much would have happened... tho once I trusted the site won't use my info against me, I corrected the fiction.

i do not think i know that story!

but yeah sigh. like people always harp on noobs for breaking the rules, but wat do u expect when no one tells them the rules?! i mean obviously mod/admins don't care about this otherwise they'd...do something other than let the membership govern itself.
idk seems like a small thing so set up or rather modify an email during signup that says "these are the rules and these are not useful methods"

i tend to think that younger folks or people in a desperate state to die asap (or impulsive people) are like this, they want to ask and have an answer because reading those threads can be really exhausting + also for the 'non-methods' i think it's because they think they could be the exception because it's their only option available

(and I might add that some threads are long and sometimes complicated and if English isn't your first language (if you're not really fluent) it can be really tricky to understand everything)

idk if it makes sense

I haven't told it in much detail, but hinted at it in some places... basically, because I really wanted to be a part of this cool space, I used fiction to enter... thinking real life is too dull. I reread the fiction, adding swear words and emotional weight to make it feel more realistic, before submitting.

Eventually, I heard that moderators, not the site admin... go through these stories to approve and deny users... and since I played a counting game with a mod.. who might have read my fiction... I corrected the fiction and let the mod know. Though I did make a handful of discord connections, save my posts to disk, etc... in case of a ban, which luckily didn't occur.

I probably could have put my legitimate CTB attempt story in there, come to think of it... tho somehow never thought of that.

the signup reason

my signup reason is literally something like: 'well, it's been years since I'm suicidal, and when you wanna die you need access to ressources, so here I am" and they let me in

You WILL be rejected if your answer is vague, lazy, or immature.

I guess it wasn't as vague as I thought it would be

yeah that's why i think a concise, official, one-time summary before signing up could at least curb a LOT of this behaviour. literally "don't try to OD or cut or [whatever other common misconception shortlist] because they don't work, also do not make posts asking on how to kys" (there's no actual rule against asking for sources even though people dislike it; it's just posting sources).
and re the distress factor lol:



if it's a rule, then enforce it...

if it's a rule, then enforce it...

as much as I understand such a rule for legal reasons....
they're literally saying 'if you're suicidal, you shouldn't be there', lol that's the whole point of the website

lol yes i am well aware of and have lots of opinions about the stark divide between what's on paper and what's in practice here.

I try not to think about it anymore, it was adding to my anxiety to notice the paradoxes and double talk on here

i think it was u who said you just joined for the info and games right? if you get what you need...
humans are 99% all the same, regardless of political or ethical or whatever other inclination. would be funny if it wasn't so hypocritical.

stationery

well, I first joined for the info because I was in a desperate emotional state (lol), then I interacted a bit in the Suicide Section + Game section, before only staying in the game section because I always do that in forums

the suicide section made me feel worse to be honest, I even disabled it from the options
i think some people didn't like me because i wasn't all joyful when someone was going to ctb, because i was saying things like "it's sad it had to be like this but i wish you peace' or things like that, i was called prolife multiple times because of showing a bit of empathy

lol wtf people always say that kind of thing in goodbye threads, maybe you joined at a time when it was a particularly pro-death crowd on rotation...that sucks, but glad you just ignore it.
I basically only use the "what's new" thing for ignored+profile posts now. aside from interacting w my follows i figure it's nice to reply to someone who hasn't been, esp. if new members
