It will take a little time to implement, but, during the discussions on this story I have not been deaf to the need expressed by people to make the warning element stronger.

People have said to me "Of course we just skip the warnings. They are so much prattle."

So, my co-webmaster has been researching how to make the story warning as close to mandatory as can be without passwording a part of the site.

We have a solution which will be tested during the weekend and will go live as soon as it works. it wil mean that a posotove indication that the warning has been read will be required for this story.

It does not mean that someone will have genuinely READ the warning. What is means is that they SAY they have read it. This will not answer all my critics, for whom only absolute removal will suffice. It will, however, make it abundantly clear that the story has special characteristics which require a conscious choice and decision to read.

It will not prevent the story being included in the site seaqrch engine, but is intended to redirect a reader to the warning page wherever possible if they access the story via the indexer.

In other words, I will not remove the story, nor will I make it harder to find, nor will I password it. I will simply make the warning more prominent if it proves technically possible to do so.
