Haha, that's actually more of a warning. If you don't quit posting about suicide, they temporarily suspend your account, then if you do it again, they permanently ban your account, and
if you do it yet again (say, you're a complete loser who can't get through with it, with zero help and the only thing you can do is, well, complain about it online) you get permabanned based on your IP and email info.
Even in the few subreddits dedicated to it, you have to be real careful about what you post if you don't want a ban.
Out of sight out of mind... yeah, I guess it works. Reddit doesn't need suicidal people posting about this problem, it hurts the platform and they can't do anything about it anyway, to be fair.
Source: me and 4 people I've talked about it, all were previously banned. Not much, I know, but I'm confident enough they do it on the regular. Again, not really blaming Reddit here, they're a business not a charity.
