Did the site change

is this the same as missing stories I assume ? I have a few authors I follow but their stories have vanished but I get notifications to tell me they’ve been updated!
It’s so frustrating to not be able to read their work!

As Freidman stated earlier in this thread no stories have been deleted. Changes had to be made for legal reasons.
 
just made an account just to ask if i can have access too please there are some stories i like to read but i can't anymore and it's sad
 
Everyone stop asking for access. he has too mush requests.
HOWEVER I DID FIND A WAY TO ACCESS ALL THE STORIES WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT/OLD ACCOUNT
It's very simple, simply use the WayBack Machine. You don't have to download anything.

Here's the link https://archive.org/web/
 
So I'm really confused about the new filter. I noticed on a story I was reading that someone commented on words disappearing. Okay, we all know that is now happening. What caught my attention was the word they said was missing. In this page ( https://chyoa.com/chapter/An-anti-climactic-end.600730 ) if you look at it without an account, one of the dialogue lines goes from "Do you drink a lot?" to just "Do you a lot?" It filtered out the word drink. DRINK. I get that there's been some recent pressure to hide/filter questionable content but the word drink??? I'm really beginning to wonder if this is the end of CHYOA.

I have now separated the filter for tags and texts. If you come across words that you think should be allowed in the text, please let me know.
 
Glad you're still tinkering with things. I guess were all just a little skittish because no one really fully understands what is going on. We have a vague idea but some of the changes seem completely arbitrary (like why was the word drink filtered in the first place.) It just makes us feel very uncertain about the future and if we should continue writing the stories we want to if there's only going to be more problems down the road.

Important update for people!

Ok, I did some digging and have found out that even with 'full access' the categories are still going to be hidden, but you will be able to view the content with direct links. so if people have a direct link to say... the mind control category, then simply following that link will work and you can view the stories in it.

This is yes a very annoying work around of any restrictions/changes that have been implemented, but it is what needs to be done to keep the site working at all with the removed content. If you are curious what sort of content has been censored, while I do not have a list, I am pretty confident that most of the hidden themes are those that are on topics more or less seen as troublesome legal wise, namely to do with consent, I am pretty sure this is the case based on the categories that are now hidden, and those remaining.

If you are not sure if you have such access, you simply need to go to the main page, look at the top, and if you see "News feed" next to "Discovery" then you have full access.

So if you can see the News feed, please don't flood Friedman for access, the fact is you have it. You now just need to find direct links to the hidden categories.

Doesn't work for the Incest category, doesn't work for the Non-consent category.

It does, those categories now just have new names and you have to use the new name. Last time I posted it here it got deleted. Do this, start a brand new story and look at the categories you can put it in. All the new/replacement categories are visible and it's fairly obvious which one you want.

Can something be done to help you limit the number of drastic changes and restrictions? I mean, many sites allow hypnosis (MC) for example while things like incest have happened even in mainstream series like Game of Thrones.

One thing I've noticed is that the word "kind" is removed. I know it's banned because of the translation from German, but if it's possible to check what language a story is in for the auto-edits, it'd be nice to have it back in the English ones.

Edit: Actually, thinking about it, I've noticed things like "death" are also banned. Does that mean that German stories have to get by without the word "the" (Translated: die)?
