> Basically I would of thought you'd need specific guldlines for what is a trigger in the FAQ's as so then to know when to add the word trigger and to avoid confusion if and when a PBC was issued because you didn't type the word 'trigger'..and that would be uncivil....but on the other hand the actual message you wrote would not be considered uncivil, its only uncivil becasue you did have the word trigger, you understand what I mean?

> To the several things that most people would agree are trigger, maybe there is also a grey area, certain subjects are not clear with black and white, as to what is a trigger and what is not. In that grey area there could be serveral things which people would possiibly disagree on whether they are triggers?...or maybe i'm wrong. If you had clear guildlines though, i guess thats where that grey area could be cleared up, if the trigger rule was/is to come into play.
>I think that having guidelines in the FAQs about requiring the word *trigger* in the subject line of posts with delicate subjects; and having those subjects spelled out precisely in the FAQ, would make many people feel safer here. It's good to know ahead what posts are more likely to upset someone with a warning like that.
