wish I knew names

[bov]

Does anyone else wish that on people's farewell posts, they'd reveal their full names?

I understand the importance of anonymity and that it's unlikely people would start doing this, I'm just so curious about everyone on here and would want to read obits.

Nope I don't wish that. I think names are not important.

Edit: Also, revealing full names might be really bad for the family.

Some revealed their first names, but I don't think a full name is good idea. I'm perfectly fine knowing only usernames, a first name can make it more personal though.

Ahh of course

At one point I was considering giving my real name to a trusted member on this site so they would be able to check the obituaries after I post my goodbye thread to confirm to other members that ctb was successful, I thought it could be useful in particular for methods such as SN but of course there are also obvious risks about giving out such personal details

Sometimes I'm curious of peoples names, but more so if I've been talking and interacting with them for a long time. I think in total I've given my name out once and have no plans to do so in a goodbye thread. If I did, it would only be on first name terms. Not only does it seem like it's bringing too much attention to the deceased person and their family, but it also makes things too real in my opinion.

The only thing stopping me from being me is the rules on the forum.
I'd be happily transparent in that regard but i can see the problems that could arise.

I've only seen one persons obit. They had posted a link to their soundcloud with their name and you could find his obit with a google search.

Fixthe26.com has confirmed several user CTBs

No! People who post here have good reasons to hide their IRL identities. Maybe they don't want their families, friends or colleagues to find out what happened; maybe too much attention and too many confirmed suicides would attract trolls and shiny-happy do-gooders, or some of the bereaved would campaign for this forum to be taken down. This is not what we want to happen. Not because we need a site where we go to die, but because anonimity gives a certain safety.

I'm Joel. I don't give a shit if anybody knows, because no one gives a shit about me. Even if someone I know IRL finds out I've been posting on a suicide forum they'd just say "well, that figures".

 

[Lupgevif]

I don't think it would make any difference. I don't need a real name to know there is a real person on the other side.

I'm Michael. I couldn't care less either. Mind you, my username doesn't leave much to the imagination.
