considering the characters we're talking about fall into the high school range(whateley is a high school after all) I'm not sure what characters he's talking about. Rather, this sounds like someone who just hates the series and is looking for an excuse to get its page banned(imo)

There is a student among the cast who has sex with an (older) female, who I believe is the school nurse.

On the other hand, said character is also an eldritch abomination inhabiting the body of a man in his late 20s to early 30s, AFAIK.

@tryrar: Let's not go around accusing people of trolling. The guy said he was going off the discussion page, not actually checking it himself. And there's no way he could have known that Whateley had already been checked and passed.

Sorry, got a little heated there. I read whateley and I just didn't remember ANYTHING like what he was saying. Heck as IIRC the closest this gets to porn is in The Big Idea, where we do get a (non-explicit) sex scene between Harley and her girlfriend Jenny

It doesn't sound nearly as bad as August Underground based on the trope page. Then again, August Underground had one of the most disgusting trope pages I've ever read. It sounds more in-line with A Serbian Film.

.....why only the YMMV page? if they were trying to flag the entire thing that might make sense, but otherwise this is probably a misclick

Looking at the main page (foolishly after zapping it), there are a couple of potentially problematic things. Flagging the Film/ page.

Probably gonna get to it Friday.

I think we looked at that at some point.

I remember that one,

IIRC it passed because its not abut sexulizing little girls but abut mocking those who do.

I thought as much, but the article really needs to be cleaned up. It reads as seriously dodgy, even when the content may not be.

I remember it was because your flagging rationale sounded like it was about the name of the work.

No, I thought the page sounded weird, too. Maybe it's gotten worse?

No. Looking at the history, four of the five changes have been mechanical in nature (disambiguation, removing scanlation links, etc.) and the fifth predates the P5 and is mechanical in nature.

At this point, I'm inclined to zap it in absence of new evidence.

Okay, I tried to flag SoBadItsGood.Fan Fic, but the flagger said "log in, please"...no idea if it actually took or not. There's a Special Efforts thread about this as well...I'll be moving it to the Short Term Projects forum after this post. Has this page already been reviewed?

Yes, it took, and no, it hasn't been reviewed, though I think it's outside our purview. If we have pages for some of those fics, they are what we would look at instead. As for the new special efforts thread, it could be merged into the general P5 cleanup thread.

The "Log In, Please" bug is known, however.

[up] Good, thanks for clearing that up. The SE thread is closed and the page link and request have been moved into the P5 cleanup thread.

We mentioned the need for a click-through screen for the flag function at the mod meeting...sounds like it's time to start raising a ruckus about it.

Raise as big a ruckus as you can, Willbyr. This matter has long since gotten ridiculous.

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

At the very least, I would request making the flagger visible either publicly or to us. One of the other mods mentioned that Eddie hates coding confirmation screens, so I wouldn't hold out for one of those.

Didn't someone suggest repurposing the mod hollering code to make a reason for flagging page?
