As discussed here, there seem to be two factors:
- The later books spiral towards porn, and are more problematic than the early ones.
- The fandom focused on troping the sex, which is a key reason why the page was locked.
It's been through CVD/P5 twice now. Do we have anything to suggest that the situation's changed?
As it stands, there's nothing to stop tropers submitting changes via the Locked Page Amendment thread.
I don't think someone will try to write lewd stuff back in since the page is now clean, and if someone tries, it can be handled accordingly.
You are making this sound pretty simple. The page doesn't clean itself, though - someone has to go in and maintain it.

Unlock the page as well. Nothing too much that catches my eye.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Looks like a consensus to unlock the Gor page, with the following votes: BlueXIII, animuacid, JHD0919, StalkerGamer, Siegfried1337, Jadn2014, worldwidewoomy, StarSword, jvs200s and miraculous.
We could close this now.

I suppose you might as well add me to the list, although there are so many votes it doesn't really make a difference.
Hollering for a lock.

Locking this thread.
This page has been locked since 2012 due to the Content Policy. I've read a few of the Gor books. The sex scenes aren't that explicit despite the fetish worldbuilding, and the plot-to-porn ratio tips in favor of plot. I believe that this page should be unlocked, especially since we have pages for works that are much more explicit and are unlocked.
