  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at admin@sanctioned-suicide.net.

I doubt very much, in this case, 4-5k people will commit suicide, I think in the end 5% will have ctb here

Very low. I wouldn't be surprised if suicidal lurkers had a higher rate of suicide than members.

The percentage of people with the desire or at least the plan to CTB is very high. Due to the lack of working methods, lack of control of SI and lack of enough money to use the very few working methods the CTB rate finally is very low, and for many people failures makes their lives more worst than it was already before. The governments want to rule about us in all situations and there is no free will for them, they respect.

I really wish to be the one to ctb. I basically came to this site to increase my risk for ctb.

It'd be kinda hard to measure for lots of reasons

1. How do we know someone who made a post about ctb actually did it?
2. How do we differentiate people randomly leaving the site without posting vs ctb without making a thread. A lot of the time ctb can be impulsive so members won't always make a thread.
3. As someone mentioned it wouldn't be surprising if a lot of lurkers just look up methods then do it without making an account.

No good way to really pin down a %. I'd probably just say higher than the general population.

I'd guess it's pretty high actually. This place normalizes suicide and deflates the taboos around it, as well as offering reliable information to people, so it's bound to be higher than it is for suicidal people that aren't registered here. And most people that find their way here aren't just casually suicidal anyway. So 20-30% sounds about right to me as well, but maybe even higher.

There is no way to know this. All that is important to me is making sure that I am one of the ones that will eventually ctb. Of course ctb is difficult as we are denied access to peaceful methods and we are programmed to survive after all, but many people have succeeded in ctb and that shows it can be done.

People with depressive disorders have a 20% suicide rate. I would imagine that the 20-30% estimate is accurate. It's also hard to predict because it's likely that a lot of members leave get better for a bit then eventually do get depressed again and CTB. So depends on your view of the timeframe as well.

I'm sure there are some members who come and go and still live their full lives. There are some, most likely a very small percentage of all total members, who've actually went through with ctb. And then there are people who have trouble battling SI and stay for years. And there are people like me who have various other reasons, like staying alive for loved ones. It is really hard to know. My personal guess is somewhere around the 2-3% range
