Hello Jade,
I need to remind you to please follow site guidelines by not posting in a way that treats death lightly.
I'd also like to add that it is fine to post - carefully - about suicide here, as long as it's not done jokingly or in any way that trivializes it. The idea is to be sensitive to the feelings of others, such as survivors of suicide, posters who may be family or friends of the same, and of course, posters who have lost a loved one to death by suicide. I know for a fact there are, or have been, Babblers who fall into one or more of these categories.
Also, in the future, if you do post specific images as you did here, it's good to put a **trigger** warning in your subject line. This may not have come up recently - since you've been here, so I wanted to point it out. This is NOT something from the FAQ and isn't something administration enforces. This is a community custom that can help protect sensitive and easily triggered posters who would rather not suddenly come across graphic descriptions of certain topics. Examples would be things such as suicide methods, CSA, rape, physical abuse, etc. We can't possibly know everything that could trigger everyone, but those are some of the more common topics about which posters have asked for warnings. (You can see I did this in this post, and also separately to alert posters to the 'trigger' in yours.)
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternate ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
Follow ups regarding these issues should be directed to Admin, and should of course, be civil. Dr. Bob has oversight over deputy decisions, and he may choose a different action.
