/tg/Station 13

Someone using his name on Singulo repeated some common knowledge edge-lord suicide tips. We've no evidence that it was actually him posting, nor any confirmation that the person he was talking to wasn't just "taking the piss". I'm inclined to discount anything anyone posts on Singulo as horseshit because it's Singulo. You seem to be repeatedly failing to grasp the concept that Singulo is Singulo. Getting shittalked for making posts on Singulo is par for the course. It's bat country. Complaining thats someone said something, however gross it was, on Singulo, is the like laying down in the middle of the road and complaining when someone runs you over. It's posting your address on /b/ and then getting upset when a bunch of pizzas and junk mail start arriving at your home. Singulo isn't policed by /tg/ nor is there any guarantee people will treat you nicely there. Like I said above, it's all up to oranges what is allowed or is not.

This glibly misunderstands the point. Nobody is coming to singulo because they think they're gonna get good counseling for their personal trauma. They were already on singulo. And for Christ's sake, An0n3, are you really trying to make the argument that using the community for "social care" is "abuse" in the fucking terbs unban thread? That's literally all he uses the community for.

Are you suggesting that /tg/station is a good place to receive quality mental and emotional care? This entire time I thought this place was setup to host a videogame and get people to play it. I've already said in a previous post how I feel about Terbs' own mental issues.

Yes, this thought process you're describing is exactly the rational and logical process that most people contemplating suicide go through. It makes perfect sense to expect people who are literally thinking about killing themselves to respect the social norms of not revealing that shit in public forums.

I would rather drive them out of here and into the arms of actually licensed professionals, or at the very least their real life friends and family. You can't honestly believe that any of what goes on here is good for anyone's mental well-being. Of everyone who has ever expressed problems I think we've cured exactly zero of them and even had a near miss with one (who thankfully was able to seek real life professional care as a result of it, thank fucking God).

He's not venting in a controlled environment, he's encouraging suicides in a deliberately uncontrolled environment. I didn't have to sort or search through shit because all of this happened a few days ago.

He's posting garbage in the garbage dump. The place you should either walk into with the expectation that you're going to see some shit, and a place anyone is easily able to heed the words of the great Tyler the Creator:

You can't know that or guarantee it though. That's an assumption.
