There are definitely wrong ways. It's a problem if you act like it doesn't matter or come off as encouraging. 

Suicidality is a cry for help, so don't be a chud. That's a low bar to clear.

I mean, you can dissuade them if you don't want them to commit suicide. But pointing to very general and abstract individual beliefs they hold to explain their proximity to suicide is a game of statistical whack-a-mole. Is the belief in an afterlife causing suicides? What about the belief that nothing happens after you die and it's just a blank nothingness? What about reincarnation? What about "everything is love"?

Yeah, I guess in Nahm's defense, he did also say: "If I am Wakefulness, the last thing I'd be thinking about is jumping off bridges. I'd be so passionate and enthused it'd take a hundred lifetimes to experience everything I want to experience."

the low quality is a technical problem. Modern platforms use likes to auto-evaluate a quality of posts

Many likes don't equal quality, but pupularity.

He is quite particular with who he selects.

I saw your question: “Do you think being a moderator means we're not allowed to express our personal critiques?” Unfortunately, I can't reply in that thread because it has been locked.

So here’s my reply:

If you value genuineness, goodness, and integrity, then you should openly express your critiques of Leo; especially that he administers a spiritual and personal development forum. How he reacts to your critiques is his problem. I’ve seen a few moderators being dethroned recently. Even if you end up dethroned yourself, you should still honor your values. The important thing is to ensure that your critiques and opinions are sensible and valid.

There is an issue with dismissing criticism instead of responding to it.  That is a choice that is not always wise.

it seems inconsistent. But hey, I've been speaking about inconsistencies quite some time now, it's not that I'm expecting anything different.

I'm seeing this too.  Like who gets demoted or banned.  There is one guy who is deciding this.

Right.  And there is a certain buzz required for a popular forum.  It needs to have some sizzle to the steak.  Otherwise, everyone will be bored and not engage.

That is correct.  He became like a non-dual robot.

I don't think this is fair.  You have said some nice things about Phil too as I recall.
