Hollers? Hollers for what, mind if I ask?

When someone presses the button with a yellow sign on a post, it reports said post to the mods. This is called a holler.

[up] Yes, I know what the button does, but I'm curious about what the hollers are about...

...

Although I feel like that's being a little nosy so I'm probably gonna back down about that unless otherwise.

I just don't want to be bugging them if they don't have the time.

Thank you.

Um, just wondering, but if someone complains about LGBT type tropes, you won't get rid of those too, right? I know it sounds like a stupid question...

[up]No. The rules of the forums say "no gay bashing" along to "no paedophilia".

Also, the current policy is against paedophilia and explicit things. LGBT doesn't matter here.

A lot of Moral Guardians think gay sex is more explicit than equivalent het sex, though.

Basically we should discourage flamebait descriptions that avoid such conflicts in the first place.

We're talking about tropes, though, so I think there should be relevant information.

Has Google responded to the appeal yet? Because apparently, Eddie has gone on a complete 180 regarding keeping Naughty Tentacles article in trimmed form, and also declared an insta-nuke on any work article that even comes close to being percieved as promoting pedophilia (which includes Lolita and Boku No Pico).

Just seeking clarifications.

The Lolita page has a big, scary "There is nothing here, move along" banner à-la-FBI fearmongering but... cleaner. As for Bn P, strangely the history reports the content of the page as existing (ie.: the last edit has it added) and it is bluelinked, but it is empty.

Would like clarification on whether we should identify ourselves as Google's Tropes now. tongue

Also, as I just found out from a post on the Perversity Clean-Up thread, our original appeal to Google was apparently refused. Why didn't this thread get notified?

In other thread FE said that he didn't want to notify users of these changes because it spreads bitching / complaining / etc.

Bn P was at Anime.Boku No Pico, the Main.Boku No Pico (redirect) is still there.

Highly relevant post

Also, I know that was the page. Either there is a bork, or histories for cutlisted pages have never shown the cut, which I wouldn't know because I never had a reason to check the history of a cut page... surprised
