How about for now, trigger warnings become site policy, strongly encouraged but leaving punishment details (if any) for later.
There could be something in the FAQ describing what a trigger is and why the posts should be flagged.
Posters can continue, as they do, flagging other posts as triggers or possible triggers.
The addition would be you and the deputies would also, either by following up a posters flag or by flagging it ourselves, follow it up in an official capacity, with a link to the FAQ.
This is short of mandatory (as there is no punishment) yet it is a much stronger encouragement, backed by the site owner for all to see (not just the followers of admin.)
