Is that where you got the checkbox idea? Whatever they do there about posting titles - can you describe it in more detail?

"Specifically prohibited from our community:
* Flames or messages meant to intimidate or harass others
* Threatening or profane messages
* Messages containing suicidal threats or suicidal actions
* Triggering material without the use of the Trigger Icon"I have deleted any passages not directly relevent to this discussion. Just so you know how it works, if a person makes a suicidal threat, the post simply disappears. The poster is directly warned, privately. If they persist, they can be blocked for life.
The trigger icon is one of many icons at the site, and in my opinion, that dilutes the power of having a flag of this importance. However, they do have a requirement that triggering posts are so identified.
That is my understanding of how things work, over yonder. I certainly could be wrong about the details, but I think I have been accurate.
