Edit:  I want to make a distinction between posting about suicidal thoughts and posting about suicide plans.  Suicidal thoughts are a part of BPD and I think that banning posts about them would be a bad thing.  I am specifically talking about posts wherein OP announces an intent to commit suicide.  Talking about your suicidal feelings is okay but announcing to the community you are going to kill yourself is not.

I understand that many borderlines are chronically suicidal, myself included, but I have to say I find it INCREDIBLY distressing coming here and reading at least one or two posts a day where people are basically threatening to commit suicide. 

What do other people think?  On the one hand I think people should be allowed to seek help here but on the other I feel it's really hard on the community constantly being held responsible for whether people live or die. 

I just think it's incredibly unfair to the group to post an "I'm going to kill myself" post and expect us, a bunch of untrained people who are also unwell, to put up with that.

Thoughts?
