===Suicide threats:=== | |||
While TripSitters will try their best to help users of the site with down feelings or depression, we cannot tolerate threats of suicide. This is not the focus of our service, nor are our tripsitters adequately equipped to deal with such situations. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or tendencies then we kindly ask you to consider either professional medical assistance, or to direct yourself to a community more equipped to deal with this kind of situation - you can find a list of international suicide hotline numbers [http://www.reddit.com/r/SWResources/comments/c305t/hotline_numbers/ here]. We also officially endorse Reddit's [http://www.reddit.com/r/suicidewatch SuicideWatch] community. | |||
In a situation in which we fear for a users life, we will remind them of the guidelines stated above. Conversely, in a dangerous overdose situation in which we believe immediate medical attention is required, we will *always* attempt to contact local authorities. | |||
Furthermore, because of the reasons stated above, we cannot tolerate suicidal behaviours on our network (this includes the TripSit, TinyChat, IRC, Nexus, and SubReddits). It isn't fair on the users of our website to have the onus of guilt placed upon them for potential outcomes of such situations, as well as such behaviours disrupting the primary objective of our community. Therefore, suicide threats and attempts are considered against the rules, and while we will try our best to help in the immediate timescale, such threats and attempts may result in either a temporary or permanent exclusion from the community (under discretion from the administrators). | |||
===Mental illness:=== | |||
Disclaimer: We are not qualified to provide professional medical advice. | |||
While we are very accepting of mental illnesses and disorders, we do not condone nor encourage the use or abuse of drugs that could interact, worsen or otherwise negatively affect your current mental illness or disorder. The TripSit community will not serve as enabler for the destruction of your own mental or physical health. | |||
We are here to help! If you want to discuss the topic, feel free to bring it up in our irc channel or pm the TripSit team. They will be happy to discuss any topic at lengths with you, warn you of the potential of a drug interaction with your current mental illness or disorder, and give you advice, love, respect and positive energy. The TripSit community is always here to help and support you, no matter what. We love you and want to keep you with us! | |||
===Hardcore abuse, dangerous combinations or dangerously high dosages of drugs:=== | |||
Occasionally we have users enter our community expecting that, due to the subject matter of the community, we will support them in dangerous behaviours and attitudes towards drug use - this is not our purpose; the TripSit community is geared towards harm reduction and support, and as such we will never recommend or tolerate dangerous or reckless drug use. | |||
It is against the rules to endorse or encourage dangerous behaviours in drug consumption, just as it is completely unacceptable to expect our community to endorse or encourage your dangerous behaviour. | |||
It is, in fact, seen as a responsibility of the community's members to actively discourage dangerous behaviours. While for the most part we are not qualified to provide medical advice, members of the TripSit community are extremely knowledgeable, wise, and often have ample life experience in a range of situations pertaining to drug use. Please accept and consider the advice given to you seriously, and note that ignorance of advice pertaining to potentially life threatening situations will not be tolerated. | |||
Please also note that in a situation identified as life-threatening, or one in which the community's users believe immediate medical attention is required, we will *always* attempt to contact local authorities to help you. | |||
Furthermore, users identified as continually engaging in reckless drug-use behaviour are seen as a bad influence on the community as a whole, detracting from and actively working against our image as a harm-reduction community. As such, these behaviours are considered against the rules. | |||
Contravention of the guidelines stated above may result in either a temporary or permanent exclusion from the community (under discretion of the administrators). | |||
If you are confused or feel unclear about any of the guidelines discussed on this page, feel free to contact a TripSit administrator, who will help you reach a clear understanding of what is and isn't tolerated in our community. | |||
