Yes it is against the rules but as Heidi has said, the infraction points or warnings goes on a case by case basis.
Best thing you can do is get in touch with the moderators and report the behaviour, also if you are stressed and feel you cannot deal with it, why not be gentle to yourself and perhaps suggest the member speaks to the supporters - or even you could, too.

Also the rule for posting suicide threats & notes is also this one, which clarifies the reasons WHY they are not permitted:

Quote:

Please do not make suicide threats or 'goodbye notes'. While this might seem harsh, suicide threats are extremely unfair on a website full of caring people who have no way of helping you, no way of knowing you're safe and no way of letting anyone know. Of course, people will express their doubts about life and living, but goodbye threats cannot be permitted; it is much more beneficial to ask for support before you get to that stage, since a true 'goodbye note' wouldn't be looking for response anyway. This also applies to any threats made regarding any way to harm oneself.

For example : "this is my last post ever, by the time you read this I will be gone", "pills are gone ... feeling really sleepy ... cant do it anymore ... sorry."
