Display of Suicide Helplines as a Pin on Other Forums

Postby Simone Republic » Sat Mar 25, 2023 1:11 am

As a suggestion, can we pin a list of suicide assistance helplines/hotlines around the world on the top of the "got issues?" and other forums? It might not be of much help, but there is a chance it would help.

Correction: I am aware it's on General now, thanks to Merni. I missed that point. But it also makes me shudder a bit that it's had 77,000 views over the last nine years. I think we should pin this on more OOC forums, just in case.

I suggest we simply use the same pin:
https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=285075

Original suggestion below:

Similar to the one on Google/Bing (any words related to suicide in Google or Bing automatically trigger messages displaying help).

Google's version:
https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/11181469

If you’re in emotional distress or suicidal crisis, find help in your area with Find a helpline.

If you believe that someone else is in danger of suicide and you have their contact information, contact your local law enforcement for immediate help. You can also encourage the person to contact a suicide prevention hotline using the information above.

Learn more about personal crisis information with Google Search.


Bing uses large fonts on the top:

You're not alone
Help is available


And then links to this:
https://www.bing.com/search?q=Immediate ... on+near+me

I believe OpenAI is also updating functions to take care of this - I vaguely know someone who knows someone working on this at Microsoft.

All posts OOC. (He/him). I don't speak for TNP. IC the "white bear" (it) is for jokes only.

Oh I didn't realize it was there in the General. I missed it. That's great.

Looks like it had 77,000 views over nine years. Not a small number. Makes me shudder.

Can we have it in the Got Issues forum and other forums as well?

1) Moved to Moderation. This is not a Technical matter.

2) Absolutely not. It bears no relation at all to NationStates issues. The team are currently considering removing the thread in General entirely as well.

Why remove it from General? What harm does it do there?
