I have to say, while I understand completely pulling a fic that contains plagiarism with no warning, I am really upset to hear that a fic might get pulled simply because a character might be saying "Fuck." in it somewhere, no matter how justified it might be. I honestly have no idea if "fuck" makes something T, M, or MA :-( (I thought it was T if it was only used once or twice) and I hate to think that I may get a story pulled with no warning, no chance whatsoever to go and fix that one stupid word in a 30,000 word story. The more I think about it, the more it really ticks me off.

You do see the guidelines every time you post a story (unless you do them within a couple of days of each other; they make you go over the ToS if you haven't looked at it within a few days) but, thing is, so far as I could tell from them, I've been keeping within their guidelines. I haven't had anything pulled yet, but it's bloody nerve-wracking, I tell you, and I don't need any additional stress in my life right now. I can't understand why they wouldn't just drop the author a PM with a warning and so long to fix it? Do they honestly get so many reports in each day that they just can't keep track of everything to be able to say, "Yeah, this fic has had their warning and ignored it so pull that one but this one hasn't so give them their warning first"? I am pretty damned positive that it is possible to automate that shit. Hell, it ought to be possible to automate a curse-word detector for the title/summary so it fails right when you try and post it! At the very least, it ought to have a specific warning for that too, if words used there which might be fine in the body of the piece would get it pulled. And dammit, can't they have a list up somewhere of the kids of words they don't like? I had one reader complaining about all the cursing in one of my fics, and for the most part, all they were saying was "Damn"! Chapters in which they only said "damn" she complained about. And yet, I am pretty damned sure that "damn" doesn't merit an M rating (let alone an MA).

Urgh. No idea where I stand now. *Pulls hair*

I have no idea if that would make it T or M. That's what I mean about them not explaining their rules like they should. :/

What you propose makes too much sense and requires effort, so I doubt they'll do it. :(
