If it's supposed to mean "There could be some obscure thing that would trigger someone, you never know," that's fucking up the whole system. It's not "no warnings apply," it's "No ARCHIVE warnings apply." Just as a means of covering ass, I get it though.

I'm the OP (well, kind of), and this is exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. So many people use the "chose not to warn" tag to mean "There could be some obscure thing that would trigger someone, you never know" and that does create a bit of a problem for people like me who would very much like to avoid main character rape/death without having to PM the author of every fourth fic to ask whether they used the "chose not to warn tag" for a reason or not, and wait for their reply before I start reading.

No. You're confusing two different things. There is an option for 'no archive warning apply' but this secret maker is talking about 'choose not to warn' which is an entirely different thing.

[(Anonymous)]

If I could summarize what I understand OP's argument to be, it would be that people should only use "Choose Not To Warn" when there is an archive warning that would otherwise apply, and should use "No Archive Warnings Apply" in all situations in which no archive warnings apply, instead of doing what they do now which is use "Choose Not To Warn" in all situations.

[(Anonymous)]

But people on AO3 warn for literally everything, so choosing "No Archive Warnings Apply" just because none of OP's triggers apply doesn't do much for the poor trypophobic kid who figured they were safe because of the "no warnings apply" tag, but is now freaking out because the author didn't warn for holes.

[(Anonymous)]

That's not an archive warning, though.

I mean, I appreciate your point. I don't think that there's a perfect system.

It's "author chose not to use archive warnings" which falls under the same category. Or are we talking about a freeform tag because that's not explicitly clear in the secret...
