Well yes reporting to the mods should surely help in getting rid of him/her. If you want to help then just listen. But be careful cause some people can be psychic vampires.

Oar...mods don't "get rid" of people because they are suicidal. =|
Nor is there anything a moderator can do to prevent suicide.
We don't know where people live and can't send EMT's to their homes.
The best thing to do in a situation like this, is to continue to try to talk to the person and have others talk to them as well, IF the person is open to the idea. Someone who is truly suicidal may not want to talk to just anyone about the issues.

Not yet anyway. But I've been on enough depression forums/chatrooms to have seen things escalate to the point where members openly declaring suicide are banned. There's a reason for this.

Make sure you give them the number to a suicide helpline. 1-800-suicide. That's what I'd do.
Oh and I'd try and talk them out of it. If you have personal details you may want to consider calling the police to have the person detained so they dont hurt themselves if you cant dissuade them from hurting themselves.
That's my two cents & no I'm not over-reacting because someone's life is at stake.

ya it might be good just to let them know you're concerned and lend them an ear if they need it
It can be hard to confront someone about things, so just use gentle wording
and also just incase it might not, but since i have been pretty angsty in my last posts I am not planning to hurt myself I know that isn't a good plan I'm just frustrated with school and parents and feeling kinda irrate from trying to get off one of my medications
if it's not than you can just disregard that paragraph
just mention to the person in a pm or something that you are concerned about them, and I've always felt that lolcats say everything best
