Speaking as someone who was actually abused when she was little, y'think we could knock off the pedo talk? This started off being about fanfic recs.

Nevermind. [up] Yeah, like I said, talking our problems out would be nice. No one should ever insult anyone, unless it's harmless teasing. Not that I don't find This Troper and the SA thread funny anyway.

If you think we have pedos, point 'em out. That's not rude. Rude is letting them run. This is — as we have said over and over — a no tolerance zone for pedos.

I did report one and he was put on the watchlist and that was long after he was thumped. That isn't exactly "zero tolerance."

About fanfic recs, I'm not sure we even need to have those pages.

Indeed, another specific critisism is how...lax...we are. Not as bad as reddit, though. But then again, it would be hard to be as bad as reddit.

[up] Creepy pages in general are creepy. That Jay Naylor comic with Red Riding Hood and Erika's New Perfume come to mind. "No Such Thing As Notability" is great on paper, but in practice...

Maybe we could have the statement that we don't officially endorse any creepy recs and these are the opinions of a troper. smile

What did he do that was bad? If he just said he's a pedophile/lolicon(neither of which automatically means "rapist") in passing, it's not really fair.

@locacat: so you are saying you should be able to just point at a person, anyone, for a reason you dislike and BAM!!!!?

On Fanfic subject: we are a site about celebrating fiction, but as a community we are about other things too. IMHO, Fanfic Recs does fall into the subject of what both the celebration and the community are about... perhaps it should be brought closer to wiki standards (ie.: more like Analysis, or more actual trope usage), but I'm not sure.

Lola's pointing out pedos, who Eddie said we have no tolerance for. There are others, I'm sure, though I can't recall specific names at present.

[up][up][up] He linked to "art" of an underaged boy getting tentacled. That is very against the rules here.

He was thumped for it just like he was for many other creepy posts he made. That is far from "zero tolerance."

Okay, that makes sense. I mean, tentacles? Soooo tacky! (Please read in the voice of Paul Lynde)

Somebody said they were a pedophile and we didn't ban them? That name was banned. Pardon me, but "I am sure there are others" is not enough to work with. Make the accusation in a Holler, if you don't want to point them out in public.

[up][up][up]Well, yes. He said he was into Lolicon which is pretty much child porn and he got away with it.

I would suggest that gushing about lolis be against the rules. One can't help being a lolicon, after all.

Where!? For fucks sake, if someone outright claims they are a pedophile, get their names in front of people who can kick them out a soon as possible.

Look, folks. We have the same supply of people as everyone else has on the Internet. We need to spot the fucknuts as soon as possible and deal with swiftly, before they think we go along with their fucknuttery.

ninja: Yes, Loli gushers are right out. OBVIOUSLY.

Crown Description:

There have been suggestions to forbid recs for fics that have certain content, namely illegal sex, in them, and due to the difficulties in enforcing such rules in practice it has been proposed to remove Fanfic Recommendations altogether.
