What are we allowed to post? I posted this same question in another thread and it said a mod had to look at it. I hope this is better so a mod doesn't have to look at it.

Reps: 77,294 (power: 93) | | | Mods look at every post in this forum before it is approved publicly. It has nothing to do with the content of your post. If your post is NOT approved, you should receive a PM explaining why (though occasionally somebody might forget).
You are allowed to post anything within normal CF rules. Specifically, you will not be allowed to describe details about self-injury (exactly how you did it) or make suicide threats. I think it'll be pretty open, but we have these rules to avoid triggering other struggling members.

Reps: 77,294 (power: 93) | | | That's pretty close. It's a fine line, we will certainly allow discussion of those thoughts and feelings.
Depending on the actual content, "I wish I were dead" should always be okay (it's certainly biblical!) "I feel like I need to kill myself" would be closer to the line, but probably allowed as long as it's not part of a goodbye letter. "I think I'm going to kill myself" would be just over the line, but might just squeak through if qualified well enough by "I think I'm going to kill myself IF..." though it'd have to be a VERY strong qualification -- best to stay away from that.
I think the best way to get a feel for this forum (for both members AND mods) will be to just keep posting. You're certainly not going to be getting official warnings for having a post rejected, and often a small correction may make the post perfectly acceptable.
Don't get too caught up in the details now, before the forum has many threads and us mods don't really have precedent to go on. Just don't threaten to commit suicide or write a goodbye letter and you should be fine.
