Back when the content policy was first put in place, I pulled the fanfiction section (because of Fanfic Recs being deleted) and all quotes and NSFW links off of the page for IKEA Erotica as a precautionary measure.

Someone's made a new Fanfiction folder since then. Is it okay if I restore the cut fanfic examples? I know the links and excerpts can't stay.

(edited to be clearer)

Another edit: Now that I think about it, how do we fix the mess of ZCEs on said page? I mean, how much can you describe a sex scene without running into No Lewdness or content policy issues?

Eddie's installed a "violation description screen"...hopefully that will help with the bad flags.

If you see a flag for No Lewdness, No Prudishness, it's me - I've sent a test flag to see what happens.

Also, So Bad, It's Good.Fanfic needs flag-zapping.

Is the description screen later viewable (by mods or P5 or at least somebody), or is essentially a "are you sure this is what you want to do" thing?

It's already working and viewable by anyone by the looks of it. I'm assuming that's Septimus Heap's test flag at the bottom.

It's a two birds with one stone strategy (a reason to get straight to the point and an extra step to prevent misclicks).

And now that it's finally implemented, can I just say: Yay! This is great! I'm so happy and this doesn't even directly affect me! smile

@Septimus: right, forgot about zapping that one. Also good to see that the reason box is working. Gonna leave that one up until the others have seen it.

If I'm reading you right, Septimus, no, I wouldn't have known you flagged it had you not outright said so, though I can see that you flagged it as a test.

Now that the reason box is present, are we safe to start zapping any new flags that don't come with an accompanying reason, as is required by our policy?

Shouldn't be any. It won't save the flag without something in the reason box.

At a quick look, this looks very good. Might it help to link the words "content violation" on the reporting screen to the Content Policy, in case someone clicks it but doesn't know what that is and are confused by the screen?

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Just tested that on Oireland. Looks like it still went through.

Alright, now that this feature has been officially implemented (thanks, Fast Eddie!), I'm going to zap and reflag the entries that are currently on the queue, for the sake of continuity. Just a reminder, what do we need to know about them?

Dream Tales appears to have "age regression" comics, but they're behind a paywall and we have no actual data.

I have a suggestion. Since the page is an ugly stub at best, and in the absence of hard data on whether the subject is actually pedopandering or not, should we send it to shred because the page is content-free?

It is not a stub under our def, I am afraid.

Three examples. A decent description. Three outbounds.

Sorry, not seeing a "cut as stub" case there.

It's a stub. Only two trope have any context. Does anyone care to expand it, or can we chuck it? We certainly don't lose anything.
