Recommendations for Perusal by 5P

Interesting point.

My interpretation under the current system is that, despite their content, because they are distributed in the US without an M for Mature rating, they're permitted. But you'd have to ask 5P.

Some people are preemptively adding works, the idea being that it's better that someone who actually seen the work in question ensures it gets a fair review rather than someone who has not and won't.

That said, lol towards Clannad.

He's an obvious troll. No use in adding a proper defense.

If you're going to reply to Clannad being on the list you might as well just say you've sent your personal ninja squad to remove all the porn from Clannad. And lo and behold they succeeded! Not one sex scene in Clannad.

Um, guis...

"Holding hands" was the reason given.

Obvious Troll was Obvious.

I hesitate to call that trolling. He's not even trying to argue that it's really objectionable, he's just making fun of our policy.

Maybe the mods should remove stuff that is just mocking the policy. I was PO'd during the accidental deletion phase, but come on, guys.

"My interpretation under the current system is that, despite their content, because they are distributed in the US without an M for Mature rating, they're permitted. But you'd have to ask 5P."

The issue here is that making exemptions for content that runs afoul of the stated content policy based on whether or not the work in question has a US release with a given rating automatically means violating either the content policy*

or No Such Thing As Notability. If you don't make the same concessions for works with similar content that don't have a US release, you're letting notability override the content policy (because whether a work gets exported or not is mainly an issue of profit potential — i.e., popularity). On the other hand, if you give such works the same treatment that you give to works with a US release, you'll wind up with a lot of stuff with content sexualizing minors, in contrast to the stated content policy.

Plain and simple, the content policy itself needs to be revised if there's going to be any coherency with regard to the rules the site is ostensibly run by.

The hand holding thing is Memetic Mutation on /a/. Any hand holding pictures are met with comments like "That's disgusting" or "my brother died that way you sick person".

Read all of my fanfics!

I chuckled at the Clannad entry. But Gurren Lagann? Nia is an adult for half the series and the only fanservice of her is the one half part beach episode.

Whoever posted the 'objection' to Clannad does need to be given a stern talking to / banned. Anyone who's seen it knows there's nothing remotely objectionable.

If we consider the content policy to be a refraction of "Socially Acceptable Content" then we consider the fact that something is available without in the public eye to be a superior measurement of "Socially Acceptable Content" than our own policy-while it's certainly true that those things that are more notable are more likely to fall into this category, it is not that non-noteworthy projects are denied due to their notability, but rather that there is a common cause between something notable (which by itself is irrelevant) and something superceding the content policy by virtue of the listed exception.

More to the point, "No Such Thing As Notability" is a reference to Wikipedia's policy of not having pages explicitly because they're not notable-it does not mean that non-notable things somehow get preference.

Which is that correct thread again?

The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.

Someone added Gurren Lagann? That aired on the Sci Fi Channel, so it gets a free pass, more or less.

This thread is for discussing policy.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

I actually found an /a/ post on this. They seem to be calling for trolling and stuff. The clannad thing was mentioned.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

I was wondering when 4chan would get involved.

The person who added CLANNAD has been wikibanned, as will anyone else who deliberately trolls the list.

This whole isue was started by trolls, and now it's being made worse by trolls. DARN YOU, YOU TROLLS! No Cute Monster Girls for anyone!

Um, after taking a look at the thread, there are a lot of things on there that really shouldn't be. I think people are taking the opportunity to just list whatever the hell they want on there for shits and giggles. Hayate The Combat Butler? Really?

I think perhaps we should lock the page for now and have all suggestions have to be routed through here first.

Seconded.

I have to agree. The additions just keep getting more and more ridiculous. I'm pretty sure we got most of the objectionable stuff out by now.
