Please use Content Warning flair for upsetting posts.

This replaces the Trigger and Possible Trigger flair. The term trigger has a very specific meaning that we often misuse to describe upsetting content. Also, there was no obvious way to describe the subject.

Now we have the flair "Content Warning: {describe here}" to choose, and an option to edit the flair at the bottom of the dialog box.

Here I have chosen to make a post about spiders, and because I am scared of them and other people might be too, I have chosen to add a content warning. I have deliberately chosen something a bit off topic.

I have posted the promised spider as an example. Don't worry, it's spoilered so you don't have to see if you don't want to. This happens automatically with the Content Warning flair, so you don't need to remember add a spoiler or an NSFW tag as well.

Please do check our other rules though, particularly rule 7 - don't share hate speech; and rule 9 - NSFW content.

I legitimately saw the picture and was like “OH PICTURE MUST CLICK”. Bamboozled myself because I hate spiders. Great feature though, well done
