...See more I have a few suggestions on how the site could be improved: 1. changing policy around suicidal people: I started thinking about this because I heard about an autistic transgender man in Arizona who was murdered by police after a suicide call. He called the police because he was suicidal. When they arrived he had a knife and said I'm going to kill myself and the police shot him. We shouldn't turn suicidal people away because the reality is that we need all the resources we can get to help these people because hospitals, police and hotlines aren't always helpful. Sometimes, as we saw with the tragedy in AZ, if we send people to the police we send them to get murdered. I know its not pretty and not something people want to think about, but its just reality. I realize this is a triggering issue and I agree it should not be discussed in the group chat. However, I dont see why listeners can't be trained in dealing with suicidal people and help these people 1 on 1. Quite frankly I find it sickening that we currently turn these people away and I think it is our responsibility as people who claim to care about others to prevent such tragedies from happening again. Opening up one on one conversations to people who are suicidal would be a good step in that direction. 2. Having a room for sharing positive things only: Sometimes im in really good mood or feeling great about something and i go into the room i usually frequent to share with my friends but there's so much negativity in the room it ends up making me feel bad. I'm not saying people should stop being negative. It's just when I'm feeling that way i need to be in a positive environment so it would be great to have a room where people can go just to share positive things. 3. An uncensored room for venting : This is someone else's suggestion but I decided to include it because i like it. Sometimes you just need to vent but don't have anywhere to go to do so (lets face it, its really hard to find a good listener and sometimes the people in the group room can't deal with it). It'd be great to have a room specifically for that so people who want to vent and cuse all they want can do so without feeling censored or like they can't do so. Of course any kinda of hate language should still not be tolerated in such a room. 4. Making all listeners become verified listeners and have a mentor: As i said above it can be extremely hard to find a good listener. This would hopefully make it so there would be better listeners on the site. 5. Conduct in the group rooms: Too many of my friends have been leaving the site because of how bad the LGBTQ+ room has gotten. There is a troll who keeps getting banned and just creating new accounts each time, a listener hit on a member who needed support and several others have been making unsupportive comments. I have reported these people and i know others have too, but it doesn't stop and needs to be addressed more. Unfotunately, i dont feel like I understand the process well enough to offere suggestions, but still wanted to include it because it's important.
