Heya!
Another forum that I use has a spoiler tag, which you can include a title on. So if someone is posting something that is maybe triggering or maybe is something they know others in the thread might be uncomfortable reading ((Ok, so I know that that can be most things))... or even if it's something that they feel is a little bit off-topic but wanted to comment on something in the thread anyway... then they could put it under a spoiler so that you have to choose to read it. I consistently miss trigger warnings. Clearly I don't pay attention to these things. But it's a really useful thing to have, and was wondering if you had ever came across it or contemplated implementing it!

What do you suggest that would be different from the red trigger icon that can be put beside the title of the message and shows up in the message list?

If you miss the trigger tag -- that looks like a red "X" -- I'm not sure how additional words are going to help much. People use this symbol to denote potentially triggering material in their threads.

It's something in the thread - it's something that physically covers up the words, so you can read the rest of their post and not that one part. So if you want to read that one part, you click on it and it drops down so that you see their entire post. So you can read through the others posts and that.
It's hard to describe right now if you haven't seen them used in other places.

Yeah... no, not at this time. That's a level of detail that we'd be asking a lot of our members to ensure they use (and that we'd have to then police).
And given our use of the trigger icon for a post or thread with potentially triggering material, it would get complicated for some of our members. Thanks for the suggestion, though. DocJohn

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
