Hello Dr. Bob,
>In terms of what might be possible, maybe certain posters could be authorized to click a button, and if enough of them did, then the server would try to identify the ISP and send it an email?
I think thats a good idea somewhere along the lines...
I think it could also be drawn up somewhere (within the rules) that this place cannot substitute as a real life crisis centre/place/forum for real life suicidal support. What I mean by that is, is that in real life there are crisis phone numbers you can call, mental health crisis teams etc....
Babble can't exactly come under the same level of support and medical help, as the majority of us have at some stage faced these difficulties and are not fully trained to deal with such issues..
So, if you can be blocked, say for example not using the astric * rules with mild swear words.... the warning/rules state that feature clearly..
If you was to repeatly use the message boards for a substitue for a 'real life' crisis centre -with regards to suicidal messages, similar to the nature that would be put forward to a real life crisis team / phone line etc.
Then the block (so to speak) could come when the ISP is possibly notified...or, as i've seen previously, the conclusion has been made that there is joking about death...and so the guidelines are already in place to deal with that issue.
The fine line, between the two maybe hard to reach, but on the other hand at least there will be a system in place to prevent either happening..and with a warning issued first, perhaps that would be enough to prevent either feature being misused. If it did continue, the conclusion is made and following with regards to ISP notification etc takes effect.
Kind regards
Nick
