cut back on suicide jokes

[ghasT_T]

Before I even start this, I am aware that yes, this is the internet, and suicide jokes being here are a given, but in the past couple days, I've heard it more times than any other time in my life. It's starting to get out of hand.
This is going to sound really dumb here, but it IS a federal law, that telling someone to commit suicide is a crime punishable by jail time, or worse. It gets better.
Now, this has probably happened very few times in a gaming community, but if you tell someone to commit suicide and they actually do, it CAN be traced back to you, whether it be on a suicide note or something else, and if it is traced back, it is considered first-degree murder in many states.
I am not going to preach much longer, so just stick with me for a little bit longer. I'm not trying to villainize anybody here, nor am I treating someone's death as a lesson to garner sympathy, and I've most likely said some stuff similar to this too, but not even 4 months ago, a student at my school committed suicide. It is VERY real.

I'm not campaigning a war against suicide jokes, nor am I saying it should be added to the rules, but I truly think the community as a whole should cut back on saying things like this.
