Dr. Bob,
I still like the idea of each person being asked to check a box if they think their post has a trigger in it. Just like right now we have to confirm our post before it is posted.
Ideally, a computer program would be written that could note possible trigger content. A message would pop up asking the poster if their message might be trigger material. This gives the writer time to reflect and consider the gravity of what they have written.
The poster could still check "no" if they felt the computer had picked up on something that was not trigger material. However, if you or a deputy disagrees, the decision could be overridden and a flag would be posted.
I do not think this should call for a block or other disciplinarly action unless the person repeatedly does this to try to get around the system.
I agree with the description of graphic violence, suicide threats, etc. That is a good place to start. It can always be fine tuned later.
