As for the stickies, I think I have seen some. Maybe that should be bumped again (though I know this is tricky if it's a sticky - I did chuckle at the rhyming there, I need a life). If this is an increasing issue, though, surely some kind of RYL initiative, be that maybe by the Supporters, would be useful?

There needs to be more of a focus upon support and moving on, rather than people feeling that the only way they can get help is via a suicide note.

I don't know if that says something about RYL itself, that people don't know how to, or can't(?) access the support they want without going to such extreme measures? It's sort of a known fact that those who are 'worse' or 'desperate' tend to get slightly more of a response.

I did a very quick skim for the stickies and couldn't see them. Does anyone know what/where they are, and could they be bumped and perhaps re-written to include this new rule? I think if the supporters want to do something then that'd be great, whether or not it is in combination with this.
