Suicide post

NAS70780

Thank you to those who replied, your comments showed I mattered. Unfortunately my post was deemed as abusive by a community member There is nothing in my post that was hurling abuse to others, if I was critical about anything it was towards myself. Deeply saddening that at my most vulnerable I reach out to a forum seeking guidance regarding my dark thoughts and securing guidance how I may come out of this rumination, yet the very forum who has any understanding of autism/aspergers considers my personal experience to be abusive, the irony, the oxymoron application of today's society means I am further prevented in securing the guidance this disability needs, unmet needs are further encountered with trickery steps, ordinary life is difficult to navigate and naively I thought seeking help on this platform would be safe.

    We’re really sorry to hear how upsetting this has been for you. We want to reassure you and others in the community that the automated message you received does not reflect our view of you or your post.

    Unfortunately, the platform currently uses standard wording when content is flagged, including the term “abusive,” which is inappropriate and hurtful. This is even more so when like you, you write a post when you are at your most vulnerable. We are actively working to change this wording and improve how these notifications are handled as explained here.

    Because of what you have told us here, we have changed our guidance to users on how to let us know when they are concerned about someone’s safety or wellbeing. Instead of using the “Flag to moderator” feature to let the moderation team know, we now ask users to email us directly at CommunityManager@nas.org.uk.

    Kind regards
