Who places the X's in red by my post?

seeker1950 · Aug 20, 2006 at 04:05 PM

I posted in this thread last night about my dream and now I see two red x's in circles by the thread. Why is that and who chooses to do so? I thought I was sharing about a healing process.

it means its a trigger subject, in other words, it may offend or upset those who read it. its a warning basically.

the moderators add this.

its not a bad thing that its there, but it just warns the members here as tot he content so they can choose not to look at it if they are easily offended.

hope this helps

I understand now why the thread of my dream could have been a trigger.
Yes, they do look like red basketballs!

The result was emotional devastation for me, with recurring thoughts of stabbing myself in the heart with sharp knives.

I think this sentence might've brought about the trigger icon (not the telling of the dream), and why I'm placing one on this post.

This has been informational in that I didn't know so many weren't aware of the "trigger icon" or its uses.

Please remember to direct questions to the mod/admin editing the post (located at the bottom of the post edited), and don't ever hesitate. Who places the X's in red by my post?

We'll be more than happy to explain our actions and why.
