Hi i run a advice forum dedicated to verioius relationship issues.

A user signed up today and posted a very serious suicidal post today. it happened before too, but this one sounds very serioius.

I am based in us, ny and it appears he is Australia.

I dont knwo what should i do, who should i contact. Since i had no idea what to do i contacted fbi and nypd's web departments but have no reply yet.

Please let me know what you think should be done.

Apparently you're not qualified and neither am I. Should probably refer poster to qualified professional. Many cities have hotlines that deal with this type of thing.

I hate the Internet, chat, and forums -- all my years online in this type of community people always post or say suicidal things. Now I believe that suicide is nothing to be messed with so i take it seriously. I do not want it on my forums or in my chats, on the internet so many people post suicide crap just for the attention. I kill the posts immediately. Not on my watch will anyone discuss it or even talk about it. Too many emotions to be fooled around with. If you like take it offline or to another forum where no one has access and contact the suicide hotline give them access/ip address research and all who the ISP is to give it to them so they can call them if they want to or something, but hmm.
