Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I have been triggered before. I have some religious trauma. The thing that triggered me was not overtly religious, but reminded me so strongly of the religious programming I'd been subjected to that I ended up having a very irrational and disproportionate response to it. It took a few minutes for me to put together why I had such a visceral response to something that most people would see as neutral.
Probably a decent rule of thumb for identifying when someone is triggered ... when their behaviour is suddenly and inexplicably extraordinary to the point that they don't even know what happened (and probably really don't want to talk about it)
Which if true (I don't think I have nearly enough experience here) might be a helpful framing so that whenever something like this happens, and it isn't a repeated asshole behaviour or something, you know that you've got someone dealing with trauma and can help and accommodate accordingly.
