There are so many potential points on this.
I noticed when I wanted to get my hands on SN sources people trusted me more for being a longterm member and mass poster. Lol. Finally one beneft for these credentials. I couldn't get one for my country (Germany) that works perfectly for me though.
But in the past there were many people who gave me really helpful advices on here. They told me that they read what I have been through, that I tried therapy over and over again. And that they think in such a case committed suicide should not be prohibited. They had less of a guily conscience sharing their knowledge with me.
I once posted a very long controversial thread about the question of cliques on here. Someone told me I lit the forum on fire if I post something like that. And I deleted the post after some seconds. I cannot remember all the details it was a while ago. But I have to say I had the feeling there were cliques on here. And some groups disliked other groups. Personally, I think I was never that much part of an in-group. However, I tried to use my voice so that pro-mortalists views don't influence others and the atmosphere too much.
Last but not least, there are studies on this forum. And one finding is that members who are integrated in the social groups of this forum can incentivized not to commit suicide.
Personally, I feel sorry when a long thread doesn't get any reply. However, I am someone who often starts threads but isn't replying all that much. So I might be a hypocrite. I think this is how my brain works and this is how I benefit the most from this forum.
I think being part of a clique on SaSu comes with up- and downsides. Maybe I am not reading enough threads but actually I could not name some cliques on here at the moment. In the past some cliques were obvious though.
