I just tried to reply to a thread I started and got a message that my response won't be posted until after an Admin reviews it because it included "trigger words"... Seriously? lol

Please tell me that's some sort of system joke? Is there a list of these trigger words someplace?

Every social interaction ,weather at school, work ,at a concert or in a hospital has acceptable and undesirable parameters .

Deportment here is every bit as important here, as anywhere else.

After many years of managing this forum , The administrators know very well what discussions are welcome and which discussions will be problematic.

After you've been here awhile, you will realize the importance of the trigger word system.

This place is anything but a "free for all" post anything you want bulletin board.

He he, he said "trigger!" I was taught that one should say "tree grow" in polite society.

This is going to be entertaining.

OP, by all means, call out the admins of this forum; they will certainly entertain the idea.

OP, just a piece of friendly advice...

This is a good place to wind your neck in.

As a long time member, and I apologize for this, I did not know this. I have never gotten that warning.

Is this something new that I haven’t seen Para’s message about (again apologies if so) or is this a long standing thing and I am just a fairly polite poster?

Not trying to call anybody out, just trying to figure it what in the would I wrote that could be considered a "trigger"? I looked for a tacked thread somewhere that might explain it but if there is one, I couldn't find it?

This is 2021 after all so I guess I shouldn't be surprised? The young kids talk about be triggered all the time, I just didn't expect it on a gun forum?

Nah, you just haven't used words in a context which Para or ArcWelder would review the thread/post content.

I'll have to see if I can find that. Thank you

There's LOTS of triggers on a gun forum. You just have to use good trigger discipline.

Don't bother, there is no waiver

The first rule of the waiver,
never talk about the waiver......

"deservedness" is now a trigger phrase.

don't pull the trigger, press the trigger.

1) Trigger words in the sense that certain words trigger admin review.

2) NOT "trigger words" in the sense that some words "trigger" someone's sensitivity.

Slow your roll. If, when you hear the phrase "trigger word" and you think (2) above, not (1), then YOU may be the one that is overly sensitive.

Imagine that posting/discussion the recipe/process for making a specific illicit drug were forbidden on the forum.

Now, post a list of all "trigger words" that would get the post flagged for review (and it never being approved and posted).

Publishing the "list of words" would only invite those who desire, to bypass the filter using "code words", changing the 5p311!ng ov wurdz or some such method.

Yeah, the mods would ban hammer that person, and delete the post/thread, but that creates a poopstain on the living room carpet, and extra work for the mods.

Not every rule in life is, nor needs posting and explanation. Sometimes one simply needs to think of "why" and often the most logical and first thought that pops into one's head, is correct.

Ironic that one would mention the "young kids triggered" with the inferring pf their being coddled and spoonfed, and then expecting to be spoon fed a list of rules where adults (expected to be self managing) converse.
