Trigger labels.

[Freedom Fighter]

they are the same stickies that V2 had.....

[Schleier von Dunst]

Yeah, the stickies are there and no one bothers to read them. The people who're here from V2 may know that they were there, but I wonder if a lot of newer people don't?

Perhaps a thread posted (but not stickied) on each board might draw attention to those threads so that people read them? Just an idea...

I think in the ED board it depends on your own opinion really which is often scewed. I think a minor reference to how you are but is negative should be marked as mildly triggering whereas those that go into more detail or could be seen to go into a lot of emotional stuff that can really affect a lot of people in there (but is not against the rules, if it is, don't post it ;) ) may be more suited to having a severe one.



(Just to let people know who are reading this; as said in the forum description, the First Aid Forum is one where things are going to be triggering and labels do not have to be put up for this as it should be assumed that things on there are/ may be triggering though the amount that this is seen should be down to the rules and sorted by the mods/ FAAs. For us in there it is also MUCH more useful if you use the labels in a way that describes the question so don't just use the SI one because you're wanting info on wound care regarding an SI wound; the wound care one is ther fore that reason. These labels are very important to the order that the team members look at the threads and also potentially how they're dealt with so there is a reason for the labels in there and why there isn't a triggering one. If anyone wants further clarification on the labels in there just ask.)

But we're not allowed to post hard core graphic stuff.
i cant even write an example because it'd get deleted.

i'm in the crowd of pointless trigger warnings, as far as i'm concerned anything could trigger anyone, maybe even a conversation about cats in general could trigger someone for some reason.
& it's a self harm forum, I mean... *blink*

i said about this at the change to v2 though, asking why we needed them & someone said, "oh we'll get labels instead". i don't see the difference, but nevermind, if it works for some.

i can see the point in the first aid ones cuz they're helpful, and the ones if they crossover into different forums, but otherwise...
