I’ve reviewed the community rules of PoliticalHumor and, unless suicide counts as violence because it is self-harm, no rule was broken. As it stands the multiple mentions of violence in the rules are ambiguous.
What? Of course it does. Overcoming a bodies’ will to life is an inherently violent act. No amount of consent or dignity will change that. And the Scandinavian escape pods are hardly the norm. Both people I know ate pistols.
there are forms of suicide that just involve stopping the breathing process or the heart, of which neither is violent. Rules regarding violence should always be conservative in their application, aka if there is a non-violent interpretation why wouldn’t that be the intent.
Internet forum user knowingly breaks rule. Gets banned. News at 11.

Normally if a post breaks a subs rule, they tell you and just remove the post. This was with no warning.
Yes, very sad.
