View submission: Announcing our partnership and AMA with Crisis Text Line
^(First of all, I think this is a fantastic idea with an overall net good for the community. That in mind there is a common troll to say things like *"feel better"* or *"get therapy"* under low vote comments. I'd like to know how you'll prevent this type of abuse evolving to use this system. Also, will there be an opt-out?)

I'm not a mod, but I'm wondering how this will affect mental health subs. People with possibly good intentions are collectively gonna spam that on every single r/SuicideWatch post they can find and no one's gonna be happy about that.

There will be no opting out because this is a great idea and you want it. /s
This is a lazy attempt at helping them go public this year. "We've recently implemented a new crisis helpline for our users because we are a caring site"
