At GameFAQs, we take threats of suicide seriously. Based on the advice of our legal counsel, we have removed your post and blocked your account from further activity, primarily to avoid continuing discussion that could escalate these thoughts. We also often forward your posts to your local authorities, although not all authorities take action upon our notifications.

If you need any help dealing with suicidal thoughts, here's a great resource: Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 in the US or http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

If you just were joking about killing yourself, your joke was in very poor taste - not just to your friends and family members, but to other users on the site who have been impacted by suicide. We have had several unfortunate cases in the past where our members have been serious in their threats to harm themselves, and we don't consider it a joking matter.

To restore your account status, please explain the nature of your post below, whether your message was serious, a joke, or simply misunderstood.
