Excellent idea, and the PM requesting it receive a sticky was a welcome breath of fresh air. Topic stuck, and some faith in humanity has been restored.

Glad to see some of you have some sense of ugliness. For the rest of you, here's just one of your alternatives: Weakening Hitler sounds oh so sweet. Smaller civilian casualties at the worst, The League of Nations realizes how weak it is and reforms into The United Nations, and The Manhattan...

Originally, my thought was: Oh boy, another reason to show little-to-no change in the "Notable Writers" designation. And as I wrote a post to highlight this in a less sarcastic manner, a possibility came to me: break up the awards. Rather than one designation highlighting based on number of...

No, that's the easy part. We gather up all reviews and we pick the users with the most constructive comments that also adhere to some form of consistency within them, and ask the winners if they want to join the critic circle. The hard part is there aren't enough reviews already in place for us...

It's also why we have comments and PMs. And those don't mandate a story meet any prerequisites before it's judged. Renaming Story Feedback is a maybe, but otherwise the request is hindered first and foremost by the means to find suitable critics. Rather than go through the process of making a...

You do realize these two statements stand in direct opposition, right? The reality is that if we believe the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, then murder is the most logical course of action in the world. dick88 brought up killing Baby Hitler, but it extends well beyond just...

Thus far, I've generally defaulted to reporting the whole thread and explaining the problem was a comment. It's worked well enough, though as a backup I'm prepared to PM Torg, jakelyon, and Friedman - the three people I know off the top of my head are capable of handling such a situation. I've...

And the primary problem with your rebuttal is you only looked from a single perspective. There's multiple perspectives to every issue and testimony. This multiplicity is the foundation of the legal system and democracy - structures that seek to bring all sides together and deliver a consensus...

Yeah, I failed to separate it myself. I only intended to point out that we actually went to the trouble of protecting fictional people with The PROTECT Act, even if the spirit is meant to be for real children. After that, I was just reiterating the main problem with CHYOA involving under-18...

They actually did. The PROTECT Act explicitly bars animated images of children that are ruled obscene by The Miller Test. As you suggested, the argument was on the grounds of animated child pornography encouraging the production of photographic child pornography. Ignoring everything you've said...

Comment. Always comment. Comment until it stops working. We all started with three word sentences when we learned to talk, possibly less if we weren't raised on English. And I guarantee you tense, perspective, and conjugation sucked. We didn't get better by giving up, or by being complacent. We...

First of all, have you contacted the creator at all? While the author's long absence makes this a serious question (as opposed to a snarky one I'd normally ask at a time like this), the fact is this detail can easily be rectified with a PM explaining the site's rules and an edit from the author...

You're 100% correct, writing a purely fictional account of underage sex is protected in the United States by the First Amendment. Literotica, the creator of the original CHYOO, predates Ashcroft v. Free Speech, so they originally set their rules in accordance with the earlier form of The Child...

The Morning After: Sex on a bed of nails, knives, or other sharp objects while one partner has all or some of its weight on the other. Dragon Hammer Flash.

The R.L. Stine: Sex on a roller coaster while one partner is wearing a school uniform. (Did not want to make the obvious reference. Did anyone get these two?) The Grizzly Claw.

Monkey's Uncle: When a blindfolded person (typically a man) prepared to engage in conventional coitus is suspended from the ground via a swing, monkey bar, etc. and receives expected penile/vaginal stimulation, but also receives anal stimulation from a third party. Variant "Monkies' Uncle"...

Wrong again. I made it very clear, from the get-go, that there are problems. The differences between this proposed system and the previous system are that under the proposed system: We're not hiding the problems where no one can see them without specifically looking for them via privacy...

Really? And how is there less effect? So what difference is there between comment-required dislikes and dislike-free comments? And therein lies two additional problems: 1.) If done as PMs, a single editor and writer will be bombarded with identical concerns due to no one having a point of...

So there's no reason to ever read it again? They felt strongly enough to read and rate, but not enough to see if criticism was taken to heart? Besides, as you keep reminding me, there's always PMs to draw attention back. And thus you have no clue how to read people. Treating people like...

Read the topic. I beg of you. I've already answered all of this, and I'm getting sick of repeating myself. Dislikes are deleted if they are malicious, made not due to problems or personal opinion, but due to personal motivations. It requires common sense on the part of the administration, but...
