Okay that makes sense, I see no problem with that. The ban page on FTG says that they were encouraging suicide, but I'm very unsurprised to see reddit admins exaggerating so they can do as they please.

What I really don't want to see is the "Well you've thought it through and I guess you should do it since that's what you decided, huh?" type of thinking. I don't want to create a habitat for that type of open encouragement for the aforementioned reasons. But everything you said sounds fine and reasonable. I think people should have someone to talk to in their darkest hour, and not just phone hotlines that I've heard are often understaffed and the listeners are very restricted in what they can say to the point where it almost becomes unhelpful. So I can understand the need and usefulness for such a place, and I have nothing against it.
