Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on this. I am a member of another online forum/community or whatever you would like to call it.
Someone posted an extremely disturbing post about their life and I have to say it chilled my blood. Now it could have been a troll or someone looking for a rise.
I replied with a link to counseling services and advised user to seek help immediately as I would worry for her safety.
Do people think moderators (Clubman/Sue Ellen et al would be interested in your views on this one) of such forums have a moral obligation to maybe contact the user with advise or perhaps to contact the Guards if they felt this person is could be in real danger?
Thoughts?
