Second this request.

I would love to know if the mods do indeed read an entire FF before sending out Warning PMs or if they just take the word of one or two immature (and possibly jealous) readers before they make the decision to raise WLs or ask for FFs to be closed

You have all brought up the good point that what is or isn't acceptable has not been clearly stated. In fact, I am tempted to say that most of us probably don't have a perfect definition of graphic content, but we know what it is when we see it. That being said, the development team is working to try to create some guidelines that will help writers make sure their material is acceptable.

If you really pay attention to which specific FF passages we have had objections to and compare it to how many FFs there are in the forum, you will realize that we try to be as understanding as possible to make sure writers have some freedoms. Descriptions of physical proximity such as hugging and kissing have never been objected to, and neither have any simple mentions of sex. However, when we come across graphic and detailed descriptions of the act, we have to take action.

As you all are aware by now, the rule against explicit content is not something that we as the FF Development Team have come up with. It was decided by Vijay years ago and applies to the entire forum. You may not like the idea of censorship (I am also against it in most cases), but it is important to realize that this forum belongs to the owners. When you make an account here, you are agreeing to follow the rules or face the consequences. If Vijay wants this to be a family friendly site, that's what it will be. If you are looking for something else, there are many other places you can go. If you want the rules at I-F to change, well...you'll have to take that up with Vijay.

We as the FF Development Team are responsible for upholding the rules of the forum, and we are doing our best. We are open to further discussion about how explicit content should be handled, but we cannot make the decision to allow it. I hope you all can understand this.

Can we all stop pretending this is about "protecting children", and talk about how some so called adults, with minds not willing to broaden, have the REAL problem here? Because that's what this is about isn't it? People who are easily "offended" and unwilling to just NOT read the FF... And NOT "innocent young people" who might be "exposed" to explicit content which could potentially harm them. Own your crap people!! And, stop with the pretense.

Who are we trying to kid here? I've never known a young person to complain about adult content, unless they're apple polishing, or trying to score brownie points. 😆

Agree completely with Janet Das. Let's find a solution. And, I second the request for a private FF forum within the forum. Keep it restricted. Problem solved.

Agreed.

Way to insult someone who has spent alot of effort writing a exceptionally beautiful piece of work.

There was nothing vulgar about this FF, so the allegation is completely shocking and unfair!

I as a reader am feeling incredibly disappointed, so i can not imagine how Minimuffin must be feeling right now!
