New trigger labels.

sajhfuahuefghaeg · 25-07-2010, 10:47 PM

Hi guys,

The community team have been discussing changes to the trigger labels that we currently have.

We've finalised this list, doing away with most of the labels and adding a few new ones.

We'd like your opinion on the new list, so you have until next Monday to tweak the list to your liking.

Thanks!

CONTROVERSIAL.

Where is my Sunshine and Daisies label? Or my Rainbows and Unicorns? D;

I know it's not widely used, but I'm wondering what people think about posts that contain very graphic material? Would that just be best in a hide box... or not even that?

(I think the list is very good; a lot better).

I have a few things. Adding/removing in list (will be clear what is from me or not)

Alternatively, couldn't we just have all the labels available in all the forums with triggering content??

Woah, loads of people already voting on the poll! Insane.

ETA something productive: I don't think the site needs a SI label... Because I think that can be assumed. It's an SI site, why need a label? And OD falls either into SI or suicide, either way I don't know if it needs it's own label. And graphic strikes me as similar to 'slightly' or 'majorly' triggering - subjective. I don't find a lot of things graphic that other people do, and vice versa.

I don't like the "contains abuse" or "contains sexual abuse". Surely sexual abuse is abuse, and therefore falls under the "abuse" lable.

Serious discussion doesn't need SI, this is a SI site and really you should be expecting that SI will be in most threads in all forums. (IMO) Doesn't need suicide either, as its a 'serious' forum.

Graphic, again IMO, isn't really needed as a] it's hard to define graphic, and b] you can't really go too graphic with what you're saying, as per the rules.

& Chels, I sort've agree with you, now that you've said that.

I'd like to know why you would keep alcohol in substance abuse but not illict drugs/abuse of meds?

001100111 · 26-07-2010, 01:02 AM

Well then does the abuse forum really need "Contains Abuse" tag?

I understand sexual abuse, as that's not in everyone's posts and can be very triggering to some people.

Serious isn't dedicated to SI, which is why I suggest it. In the same way the ED forum gets a SI tag.

edit: griddlebone, because I didn't see it. Blond moment.

I like the idea of the hide box. I am not sure how to use one or make one but it does seem like a good idea.

In the advance editor there's a button that says "hide", it will prompt you to put in a reason for the content being hidden.

You can also do it like this
[hide=REASON HERE]whatever you're hiding[/hide]

CheyKizoxie · 26-07-2010, 02:52 AM

oh thank you.

yourockmysocks · 26-07-2010, 03:09 AM

I don't like having the overdose one. It's weird. Doesn't it fall under the self harm or substance abuse label? Can I get an explanation for it please?

Also, I can't see a need for all of these:
Contains alcohol
Contains illicit drugs
Contains medication

In the substance abuse forum, we don't have trigger labels for different methods of self harm, do we need them for different methods of substance abuse?

I like that it's been simplified, but I think it could be stripped down a bit more...

The following content has been hidden - Reason : List of new trigger labels

Certain things are to be expected in certain areas, as other people have said. For example, if reading the bullying section, it's reasonable to expect talk about bullying. Same for talk of abusing medication or alcohol in the substance abuse section. Surely we should all be using our common sense & just not reading those areas when we're vulnerable to being triggered?

Also, I agree about the OD trigger, I never really saw the specific need for it, particularly where there's a suicide trigger

shadow-light · 26-07-2010, 03:26 AM

I like the fact that a bullying label is there, it may encouage more people to post on that topic by making them feel more validated/included

Mrs Bungle · 26-07-2010, 03:46 AM

^ My apologies, I misread it - didn't see the word abuse before bullying. I've edited to remove abuse as well as bullying - I wasn't belittling bullying, just think it's something you should expect to read in that forum.
