I agree with what both pegasus said, and what muffy linked to. But I also understand where y'all are coming from. I do edit people's posts on occassion when it comes to certain issues:

- basically anything that is indepth discussion of abuse issues (which is why the Survivor's forum is 99% trigger posts!)
- Anything like numbers/weight/caloric information in the eating disorders forum (also goes for indepth discussion of purging/restricting and some of the negative thought patterns)
- Anything involving serious depressive thought patterns or thoughts of wanting to die (which is different than suicidal thoughts in my opinion)
- Any discussion of blood or serious injuries or thoughts to self injure.
- Anything involving past issues involving suicide (discussion of suicide is against the guidelines in certain ways)

Basically, when in doubt, write the word "TRIGGER" as the FIRST word in your posts title, and if a moderator/admin sees it, reads it, and determines it needs a trigger icon, then they'll put one on. If I see a post that contains the word "trigger" as the last word of the title, and it needs a trigger warning - I generally add a trigger icon. The problem with not including the word trigger as the FIRST word is that people can't always see it from the main forums list.

When in doubt about whether you want to read a post or not though, you can hover over top of a post link, and it will give you a short preview of what is written in the post.

Otherwise, you can always PM a moderator or administrator and ask them to review your post and then they'll edit it to add a trigger icon if needed.
