@Albus_Scope We've recently had concerns about what triggers. Latest is spider-lovers wanting to post pix of their pets. How about a folder called something like The Amber Zone - amber light, proceed with caution. Under Recent Discussions it would simply say, The Amber Zone and the number of new posts, not the titles of the post, so if you clicked on that, only then would you see the titles of the posts, which would clearly indicate the content. Just a thought.

    whilst in practice its a good idea i myself think it is human nature to see and read something that acts as a trigger mine is when i hear the word michael come from dawnie and it is used very often

    Heya @Cantilip thanks for the great suggestion!
    We had thought of something similar, but we run the risk of people never checking the amber zone, because "there be dragons" which could lead to a lot of people who need help, not getting all the support the community can offer them.

    I always suggest for sensitive topics to leave a trigger warning in the title where possible, but sometimes it will slip peoples minds. But the team can always add them on when they're noticed.
