I do not think it is a good idea to have a suicide chat room. It sends mixed signals. We tell our members we are not a crisis hotline ... we send them suicide numbers and resources and that is what we do ...

There are some good forum resources on this site: http://lostallhope.com/chat; Then there's also Samaritans for UK where you can call them on 0845 790 9090 24*7 whenever. There's also http://www.crisischat.org where you could chat to people online.
http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org, http://www.crisischat.org/, http://crisiscentrechat.ca/ are a few I've found.

They could pursue a support group, and turn to a psychologist to get the help they need. If they are in the verge of harming themselves they must immediately call 9-1-1 to get immediate help.

A good resource would be that they try to be as open as possible so others can try to understand and know what they are trying to deal with. A good resource would be that they also use the suicide helpline whenever needed
suicide hotline: 1-800-273-8255 FREE www.imalive.org/ www.crisischat.org/www.suicide.org/ suicidepreventionlifeline.org/GetHelp/international-suicide-hotlines.html www.metanoia.org/suicide/ text "Start" to 741-741
One of the best resources for people who feel like this is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
Online resources such as childline, chatzy,IAmalive,suicide.org 7cups etc and any hotlines like childline and lifeline are amazing.

I think, that 7 cups of tea - the best site for people, who need support and belief in their powers.
USA: www.crisischat.org Canada: www.IMalive.org are the ones that I am readily familiar with, however http://unsuicide.wikispaces.com/Online+Suicide+Help#.VeB-z7JViko has a lot of resources for many other countries and links to multiple different crisis chats and such!

I think some people struggle talking with hotlines, text is a good alternative but also a chat would be a great idea. For those who can't literally speak or their country doesn't commit or take responsibility with such crisis line. Not everyone live in the US, UK or Canada...
http://www.crisischat.org/ http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/GetHelp/LifelineChat.aspx These are the two i generally think are okay, though i would recommend calling a hotline over a chat.

http://www.suicide.org/international-suicide-hotlines.htm is the best choice to tell the person who want suicide. 1-800-273-8255 is also the best option but only for US people.
There is the crisis text line, which is text based. Beyond that every area has it's own phone line to call.
Firstly its gotta be in place where people who are in really desperate stage of their life can seek support, help and reassurance and the will to get better from their crisis, where the first word ain't distraction and its seek help/call mh team asap

I guess it would be nice for them to have guidelines of how to make them feel better or to change their minds about committing suicide, also by providing hotline number for immediate assistance.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this; but based off what I can try to understand, having a safe non-judgmental chat-room would be good for this.
because we are only volunteers and not trained to take chats for suicidal behavior, its best to have you to visit www.suicide.org for a list of resources. also, these numbers are availible for chat if you are in need or know someone who is.
1) Call 911
2) 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255)
Text Telephone: 1-800-799-4TTY (1-800-799-4889)
Military Veterans
Suicide Hotline: 1-800-273-TALK (Press 1) Suicide Hotline in Spanish: 1-800-273-TALK (Press 2)
LGBT Youth Suicide Hotline:
1-866-4-U-TREVOR
If you or someone that you know is thinking about suicide, it's not okay and should be discussed with a professional or with someone who may be able to help, I'd suggest calling the National Suicide Prevention Hotline or using the crisis chatline :http://www.crisischat.org/faq/
The best thing to do is talk to someone anyone. People should not be afraid to talk about depression because that people who need to talk about it are not having the conversations they need. STOP THE STIGMA AND START TALKING!
