I would be strongly against deleting posts by people who say that they're in the process of committing suicide, or anything of that kind.

First of all, we have no idea how people may communicate. Someone may simply state as a fact something that is a strong wish, or that feels imminent.

I personally believe that deleting posts would be like erasing the person, or rejecting their statement of pain. We could have no idea of where the person is emotionally or what that might mean to them. Even if they have made an irrevocable decision, I wouldn't want us to be the last ones who were unwilling to tolerate their expression of pain.
