One of the things that I appreciate about this site is that the mods allow you to be an adult. Meaning: if there is something wrong with your story, they will notify you instead of taking matters into their own hands and fixing said problems before telling you. You get quite a few warnings that something doesn’t adhere to the ToS. I probably turned an ant hill into a mountain on one particular site but it was the principle of it all that made me delete my stories there.
I’m an adult: tell me if something is wrong with my story, don’t go in and make the changes yourself…

Oh, this wasn’t a jab to AFF! LOL I just reread the ToS of another site I was on and it specifically stated that they had the right to edit/modify story details to fit their guidelines. No warnings, no… nothing. I literally received a message from one of their story editors that my title was not capitalized correctly and they fixed it for me. I know, it’s a small and simple correction but it irked me. I remembered when my disclaimer wasn’t up to par and one of you told me. You didn’t fix it for me or automatically hide my story.

Yeah,I’m not a fan of high-handed moderation. We do leave a warning for disclaimers, or email about other issues, and unless it’s something potentially fraught (like missing tags which can be traumatic), we give 7 days before we hide. The we allow at least another 30 days, and to be honest, it’s often more like 45-60 days before we delete for noncompliance.
And if a member comes to us and says they’re trying to fix something, but are having issues, we help them.That’s part of the job, too. I’d rather spend time helping someone than warning anyway. And I love answering questions when people aren’t sure, but want to get it right. That’s never any trouble for me, at all. Best part of the job!
