That's an interesting idea, which Tamar just mentioned, too:

Like automatic asterisking...

I'm curious about that. In what way were they ruined for you?

They should not post into the thread that they think the original poster should have labeled the post as a possible trigger. In my opinion that would be a direct criticism of the original poster's judgement. I think it should be a violation of the civility rules to post into a thread something like "You should have labeled this as possibly triggering."IMO, it's working OK -- not perfectly, but OK -- now, with anybody being able to add a warning. And I agree, your example response was:
