sorry attention seeking!!!! that is totally uncalled for. u should never look at someone as attention seeking how would u feel if someone thought that of u?????
Some people at RYL do attention seek, I think a lot of people (myself included) look for attention every now and again, its not necessarily a bad thing.
at the end of the day i understand that mods have lives tooo but when u look at it there is like 4 on at once then none. there should be a scheldual that ensures theres someone here at all times, after all you are trying to run a help website.
Yes the key word is TRYING. Its impossible to have a schedule,what if something happens in real life and someone cant get on?The mods come onto RYL when they can and do what they can when they are here. This is done voluntarily its not a business. If I had to come home from work and have RYL be like my work,id leave the mods asap.

and my point exactly this site is going down the plug hole at the moment because of things like that situation, people tip sharing, people telling others to do what they want not even doing what we are all here to do and that is to help one and other i think its time people put there minds in to helping not dissing
Thats not why this site is 'going down the plughole' which I actually dont believe anyway. In chat you cant stop people from saying what you want. After theyve said it,mods can freeze/kick etc, but the chat mods are NOT mind readers, if someone comes in and says 'you can cut yourself with X' then the mods can get involved,but the damage is done and that cant change!You say were all here to do help each other, but you seem to be solely blaming this on the chat mods,which is ridiculous. Everyone has free will, if you support someone for an hour and they still just say the same thing, sometimes you just want to say.....well fine, do what you want. Its emotional people talking to other emotional people, of course tempers will flare.

also the chat mods should certainly pay more attention to what is going on or other wise everybody from the site will have to live with the fact someone is dead because of poor running
Im sorry but this is an absolutely horrible statement to make and I cant believe youre actually saying youd blame the mods if someone died!What gives you the right to say that?!The chat mods DO pay attention, but heaven forbid they walk away for a minute. If someone kills themselves its THEIR fault, NOT the members of this sites fault and Im actually really disgusted that you would say that :/
sorry to say it but this is where its going
i do have a suggestion when people sign up you should ask them for some details eg postal or zip code so at least when someone does try to kill themelves the police and ambulance stand a better chance of finding them
What if someone wants to stay Anon, if I OD'd I wouldnt want some random person from here calling an ambulance, it would be my decision. Its not our job to call ambulances and run around after members, Im sorry, but thats a very skewed view.All we can do is support people,you cant force people to get help.

	There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you. But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself. I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
