Larry,
the thing is, I just don't agree that mandatory trigger flags are the right thing for Babble. I know it's not my decision alone. But it's my opinion. I think we need compromise on the decision NOW, not just during implementation.I think a "binary decision" *is* an ultimatum, just with another name. If someone says, "If you don't do X, I will do Y" and leaves no room for compromise, I think it's an ultimatum regardless of whatever it's called.
I feel that I'm capable of looking at decisions and situations from different angles. I just think this is one that merits compromise so that it best fits the group AS A WHOLE.
I'm not sure we're going to get anywhere with this, though, if you're really not interested in a compromise and meet-halfway kind of solution.
My suggestion: I support VOLUNTARY red checkmarks and/or drop down arrows that highlight certain posts as triggers for things like SI, CSA, extreme violence. Obviously if these things become mandatory, I will follow the rules. But I personally feel that voluntary reporting is the best thing for the community as a whole.
Should we agree to disagree? I'm not sure that any more discussion between you and me is going to result in progress? Maybe we should both hold off and wait for more posters to join in with their ideas? I'll do that, at least. I've said my idea, and I will listen to what others think. thanks!
