Title: How will increased suicide-posts be handled?
Post by: Pecunia non olet on January 04, 2015, 11:54:18 PM
Will they just be deleted?
Do they go to offtopic?
Do we have an emergency service?
Do we leave these people alone or will there be some kind of help?
There needs to be a contingency plan for increased number of suicidals.

I mean, seriously. People were calling the drop for months and were called trolls now look what happend. Now several people call total fail and these lunatics keep buying in. What do we do in case of desaster? There needs to be readily available help for emotional breakdowns to be able to save the permabulls lives after they lost it all.

Some people are always one step ahead of the market. Just amazing ...

There could be self-help groups with psychological professional support as these people won't be alone. Just give them their own section on the forum then.

Why should anyone care for a stupid greedy pig who thought he could get rich by buying a few coins and coward enough to commit suicide rather than facing reality?

I'm not going to kill myself. I have killed every single person I know so they won't tease me about my pisspoor financial choices. I'm currently up to my tits in their internal organs, shit and flaps of skin.

A suicide wave might be black PR for further drop, right?

I guess they will be handled the same way, as the ever-increasing amount of troll posts when BTC price is about to rebound: they are ignored. And when we close our eyes and pray, we may be lucky and this is the last post in this overwhelmingly stupid FUD thread.

Have you tried ringing the Internet Police?

I mean, seriously. People were calling the drop for months and were called trolls now look what happend.

If you keep calling it everyday without fail it is bound to happen eventually.

Forsaking suicidal individuals unto a digital mass grave (i.e., “their own section” [smalltimer]) would only serve, regarding their mental unwellness, to exacerbate their condition.

E11 for the win.  Probably just go to random company live chat and tell them your troubles, would be interesting to see the response.

Never invest in ANYTHING what you can't afford to lose.

Otherwise you've brought it upon your self.

Ought one not seize the ring buoy despite their risk of drowning?

If your choice is to seize or drown, yes.
If your choice is, swim to nice warm beach or seize. than.. maybe not, if you can't take the risk.

If you bought in at $900, you may as well hold.

"Sympathy" is a word in the dictionary. It appears right between "shit" and "syphilis"

It's a really difficult one, like with all these begging posts, they're deliberately crafted to play on peoples' emotions, if they really are in trouble then there are services out there specifically designed to help them, frankly though if they start posting Bitcoin addresses and ask for money without even acknowledging anything that is being said to help them then they are probably just con artists.

It sucks because there are people out there who genuinely need help and these assholes are making it harder for us to distinguish between the real ones, it just seems like another form of street begging really where they use emotional blackmail against you and yes, I think it's probably the same assholes you see on the street who are scamming passers by. If you want to help them, then send them to an organised charity or as others have said a suicide hotline, but whatever you do I wouldn't give them any money, especially if they keep coming back for more, there were some really obvious ones awhile back I saw where they kept on raising the amount they 'needed' every time they got some coins.

For some people, suicide is the best option.  There is nothing special or sacred about life - it is extremely common.

I know when my pain passes my will to live, I'll take my own life.  No need to suffer pointlessly.

“Meaningfulness” does not equate to “market value.”
