Hi @Repunzel63 and @Appleblossom
as you may have noticed there is some variation as to how the guidelines are interpreted.
It is not that organisations names can not be mentioned, but that Sane would be liable if a claim of defamation was made. My concern Repunzel, was to prevent this from possible occurring, and ensuring the safety of members and Sane.
As with the word suicide, it is the more direct and implicit conversations about suicide that is of concern to the Sane Forums, and the potential trigger that this may pose for the community. The word suicide in itself, as you have mentioned in your post Rupenzel is acceptable.
If you do get a chance to read the guidelines, this would be greatly appreciated
Happy posting.

I did read the guidelines but the application of them might take a while for me to internalise and refine. I will probably read them again dont hesitate to let me know if postes need editing.
