A few of us have noticed an increase in the number of children on this site asking strangers for help with their mental health - or even talking of suicide.
Would the site be able to set up a pinned locked thread with links/phone numbers to organisations that can help in various countries - for example Childline; Mind and Samaritans in the UK. This would be quick and easy to set up and would mean anyone seeking this kind of help on the site could be signposted to that thread rather than random advice from strangers.
It would also safeguard against anyone setting up PM's for dubious reasons under the guise of helping someone.
People don't often read the pinned locked threads that are here now.
But I have passed along your suggestion.
