Is this really a separate topic from Internet suicide? Perhaps this article should be merged into that one. Robofish (talk) 19:53, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It depends on if we want to define "internet suicide" as only those involving a suicide pact, or more broadly as suicides that have any relation to the Internet (including, e.g., being webcasted). I recently edited internet suicide to more broadly define it, but I don't know whether that edit will stand. Tisane ^talk/_stalk 23:53, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well so it didn't, now it is wrongly a redirect into suicide pacts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.230.21.148 (talk) 03:59, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"A survey has found that suicide-risk individuals who went online for suicide-related purposes, compared with online users who did not, reported greater suicide-risk symptoms, were less likely to seek help, and perceived less social support." -- This seems unclear to me. Not having access to the original, I don't know if the issue is with the study itself or with this summary. I suspect "online users who did not" needs to be tweaked. Does this phrase mean suicide-risk individuals who went online but not for suicide-related purposes, or does it mean the general online public? The first seems bizarre, the second pointless.
