Well here's the issue as I see it

Firstly, the mods have already stated that they are going to be going over each main round submission and adding triggers they feel that should be added, which means if you *do* miss a trigger, it will be taken care of, so all of the fretting people are doing about possibly missing appropriate triggers is ungrounded.

Secondly, the mods have already stated clearly that if a trigger is missed on a submission there will be NO PENALTIES for it. So missing a trigger, again, is not a cause for concern.

Thirdly, adding all the appropriate triggers to your work does what exactly to the work? Does it destroy it? Erase it? Change it? All it will do is mean someone who is triggered by something you've written knows to avoid it. Will this mean your work will POSSIBLY have less viewers? Well, yes.

But tell me this, what would you want more?: One less person reading your fic or viewing your image, or a person reading it who was not properly warned, and becoming triggered? I have always decided to err on the side of caution.

Frankly, most of the complaints are personal opinions that have nothing to do with the *contest* itself, which is what these triggers are for. That is the ONLY thing we should be concerned with, frankly, not whether we feel anyone else's triggers are legitimate or not.
