I know that advicenators.com keeps information about suicidal people confidential, but I believe that if the person who asks the question is seriously suicidal, threatens to commit suicide until he's successful, or leaves a suicide note, his info must be handed over to professionals. This is the only place where their lives could be saved. I don't know how this could be worked out, but I believe this is a very serious responsibility. (link)

We're treading a very fine line here. If we tell people, we are interfering where they may not want us to. Also, advicenators is accessible to people all around the world. If someone from India is talking about how they wish to commit suicide, it would be hard to figure out what professional to refer it to. Advicenators would have to hunt down the authority that deals with it. India is a *vast* country. There are around 27 states. Then regional government. Then local government. We would have to be able to produce some sort of database of every single authority in the world that could deal with that.
And it's hard to see exactly where the person is based (I assume).
The best thing that we can do, is to give good advice. Re-assure the person. Talk to them. Tell them that everything will be okay, eventually. We can even point them to professionals, if they state where they are from.
But it would be close to impossible for advicenators to direct the person straight to a professional.

I didn't mean literally everyone. I agree with you that we should try to help them the most we could.
