I think Dr. Bob currently encourages other posters to post "trigger above" warnings, and I doubt that he would disallow posts that point out what is considered polite in the community concerning trigger warnings. I also doubt that any administrating would be done behind the scenes. Some boards do it that way, but Dr. Bob feels that open administrative decisions are helpful in clarifying the board policies. There is no intent to insult or embarass the poster.
Obviously, I disagree that the current civility system is tyrannical or oppressive. I consider it the reason it's pleasant to post on Babble.
In cases where a new policy is being implemented, public explanations are even more helpful.
