During a lenghty conversation last night, this is what happened with one of the Mods and Kansas, normally issues would not be made public, but I feel that the group deserves the right to see the whole picture, The me's in this does not refer to me, but the mod who handled the situation:
In PM conversation that lasted several hours, Kansas very explicitly said to me that she was going to kill herself, either by taking on overdose of pills or suicide by cop. I used her IP to determine her city and notified the local PD. Meanwhile, I kept her engaged in conversation while another mod tried to reach the site administrator of Suicideforum.com, Kansas' homepage, on which she had posted more specific threats to herself, to see if they had more information about her location.
The local PD stayed in touch with me and they did request the PMs that indicated her intention to commit suicide and the link to Suicideforum.com. Ultimately, they let me know that they had been successful in locating her, that she was well known to them for similar threats in the past, and considering the nature of her trheats they could not be treated lightly. They have no interest in TOP.
Kansas has since sent me a PM saying that I sent the police to her door out of spite.
I wish everyone could have seen this before all the bickering started. I was aware of her issues before hand. That is why she got nothing but bluntness from me.
She is sick, you can not discount that. Sane healthy people do not act like this. TOP is not the forum to handle these types of situations, especially with all of our strong opinions.

Or is it because we are all crazy ourselves?
Serious note though, she wont be back for a long while.

You know, the only problem I have with that song and dance is this. On many occasions I have said things that have been considered "wrong" but I say them because I know things not necessarily posted on here. However, when I do it is considered a personal attack and is looked down on. Now, how the hell this same situation is being used as a excuse to pull plush from the mud amazes me! Kansas might be a freak, that’s not the point. As photo did say, we are all a bit koo-koo. But for god sakes, you can't changes all the rules every damn day to fit the life of the "weakest" link! It doesn't work in any part of life!

Hmmm well are you saying your the weakest link, since you were banned for personal attacks and brought back on a probationary understanding? Cause we techincally changed the rules for you once, since you insist on insulting people.

Why was this specific thread about Kansas made into a "Why me" thread by Eltascon?? Its not about you this time. Its about a situation with the mods and a 'sick' person. As a cop myself, the mods who did what they did did {enough dids already} the right thing. I nominate this thread closed..
ALso seems that alot of threads seem to get hijacked....

Just let this go...enough already. Dont let one person destroy the fun we have in here...ok? Lets just stop being judge and jury and have fun.
What happened to talking about Body cheese...that was gross, but fun. What about all the weather nonsense with people complaining about snow in the Spring when I am melting down here.
Snap out of it yall. We are supposed to be friends. Friends dont do this to each other.
I have spoken my peace......over and out!

Way to go Bread.
I only joined this forum for fun, which I have had up until now, but there is too much bickering going on lately, I originally never intended hanging around for no more than a couple of weeks anyway, but enjoyed it so much I stayed, but unless things get back to being fun again without everybody turning into complete assholes then I ain't gonna be around much longer.
I'll be fucked if I know why I only ever join American forums anyway, where I struggle with time differences and all that, I guess you guys are more fun to be with than the English.
I think everybody should realise that Photo did not need to create this forum but probably did so out of the goodness of her heart, hoping that it could grow into a nice community where people do come to have fun and not be too restricted in what they say, so why do so many people think they have the right to abuse the freedom that we are granted in here?
I think it is only fair on the mods that everybody tries to get along with each other, otherwise the mods end up spending all their time policing the forums rather than participating in them and enjoying them, we would all miss TOP if Photo decided to pull the plug on the whole thing after all.

Avoid the body cheese thread if you have a sensitive tummy. The one in O.com is worse than ours in here......cops were talking about finding more than body cheese during a strip search.
EWWWWWWW

Photo dude that is awesome of you. She may be pissed now but you might have very well saved her lkife. Instead of others trying to say it was a personal thing. you did the right thing. You are a cop on and off duty its in your blood. To serve and protect. She had problems and you did what had to be done. you are a true friend who would risk it all to have them alive in the end. good deal. kudos to you.
