Several comments addressing the Oct. 7th derail mentioned in the previous mod note removed (including the original two comments). One left for context. Let's please focus on the post at hand and avoid derailing the conversation.
Oh, the moderation team will be posting the ThereIsHelp link in suicide related posts, to remind people they don't have to face things alone, reaching out is a courageous step, and help is closer than they might think
FanFare post Only Connect: 5ks v Showstoppers deleted. Double post
MetaFilter post Strange Solutions For Population Decline deleted. Double post
No comments deleted but let's avoid a derail about the date itself.
One deleted: poster’s request.
Ask MetaFilter post Can I sue for a dog bite? deleted. -- loup
One deleted. Let’s refrain from name calling folks.
paduasoy: "Still in tag with an E, Brandon."
Fixed!
The advice to move on meant just and not violate the Content Policy by name calling. One comment removed.
Hey, mod dropping in to say maybe this part of the conversation has reached its limit, people are going back and forth and should move to something else, be it a another thread or some other point about the topic.
No comments removed, just giving advice.
Changed name in post and tag to Sarah Mullally (no 'e')
One answer removed for not answering the question and instead making a joke. Please remember that the point of AskMe is to help the OP by addressing the problem, thanks.
Duplicate comment and request to remove it, uh, removed.
One duplicate comment removed.
Removed a string of answers that were based on a misinterpretation of the question.
Aintnolobos, your comments in this thread have been trollish and dismissive of others and you have a history of doing that on the site. Remove yourself from this thread and refrain from commenting any further within it.
A few comments deleted. Let's try to keep this conversation productive by avoiding Ad hominem attacks so please stop calling other members trolls or telling them to STFU.
Also, let's avoid calls to have anyone locked up.
One deleted: poster’s request.
mediareport: "I've sent this request via the mod contact form as well. This should be something easily remedied during the next mod's next shift, and I'm expecting it to happen quickly, since the voting period has now begun. Thanks."
Your request has been sent to the Election Committee, who have to approve any changes. Then the changes will be communicated to frimble, who is the only one who has access to edit the particular page.
Thanks for your patience.

Hey, thanks for asking about this.
My understanding is that we post or message the person directly with the ThereIsHelp link in situations when someone seems danger of committing or idealizing suicide. The most recent question wasn't explicitly either of those, so it falls in a gray area and looking at it, I think it's ok to leave it up since people are commenting about why it's not a good idea.
Being more liberal about posting the link is a good idea, so I'm mentioning it in the mod Slack to get everyone on the same page. Thanks for the suggestion!
