What would happen if one of the more respected members died (I don't know, w*****g on an electrical socket). Would you pay respect? How?

Hence me saying it sounded stupid.


And Kyz, yeah, there was a similar thing about two months ago. An American guy was egged on to take an overdose over an IRC channel.

I can imagine people getting out of their graves to tell someone they died because of them...

'Ack! I am dying, but I am writing on this very slowly in pain to ask for help off you lot, when I could just simply ring 999. Perhaps I deserve to dye..'

There was a guy who did that only about a month ago!

No-one got charged with anything though.

It is 'accessory to murder' and you would get about 10 years for it. It happened once. This guy set up a webcam and these people egged him on to kill himself and he commited suicide over a live web feed. It was in Japan a few years ago. You can probably find something about it if you search google or something.

What if they're dead, then you revive them....but out of shock of them suddenly rising up, you mistake them for a zombie and kill them again.

Is that your fault?
