I'm going to add that when such instances occur, we EXPECT and encourage our users to report. We had too many years where former staff not only allowed this behavior, but also indulged in it. To the point of if the user being abused didn't just shut up and take it, THEY were banned, not the abusers. There is a damn good reason that we do not allow nor tolerate flaming here, regardless of whether or not a user feels entitled to vent his or her spleen on others because of some personal issue which makes him or her feel entitled to abuse others for no apparent reason. In such for instances, so that we, the staff, can investigate and take appropriate action where needed, the reviews MUST be left. That is so that staff can determine whether or not there has been a rule violation. Once that's determined, then I go in and remove the reviews, not the user. Having said all that, this has been talked to death, the matter has been resolved. Topic is closed.

If that's not working, try Unicode. Btw, when I did that, then I get the oddball symbols instead of your punctuation. So be sure to double check that. I checked the db records, and there is nothing odd within the records themselves.

It's your browser settings. Change the text encoding to Western (ISO 8859-1)

It's not just that. Reviews are fine, but flaming is not. Causing flame wars is not. All of which is what was happening. Should you choose to leave constructive criticism as opposed to rants and flames, I'm quite sure the authors would appreciate it.

The category is already created, in the cartoon subdomain, as it's an ANIMATED movie

Prompts - algid boreal ectothermic Rules Happy Writing!

If you've found that you added tags which don't apply at all, edit the story summary and remove 'em.

Back in Black - AC DC

Happy Birthday!

One - Metallica (yes, I'm listening to ...And Justice for All)

Blackened - Metallica

you never know, someone may take you up on it eventually ^^

I promise, everyone makes parenting mistakes. There are no exceptions to that.

Well, you did what you should in this for instance, in that you disliked the review and deleted it. However, I'll address part of your post, as to it being an opinion. What are reviews after all, but opinions of your readers? Yes, most would prefer something more in depth, such as reasons WHY this user disliked the story. Or, in other instances, why they like a story. But, short as it was, it's still technically not a troll post, nor even a flame.

I can ask if such a drop down can be made. But, no promises. I CAN add some of these things to the tags listing for now, however. action/violence/gore - covered in the tags crossover - many, many categories for just such a thing hurt/comfort/angst - covered in the tags genres themselves, the only place they have actual categories is in the original subdomain.

As this is one of very many I have to fix, as the author is inactive, I cannot give you a date when it'll be done.

Hi there Ender, If there is no visible means, or the user doesn't have a forum profile (where you can pm), email tos_team@adult-fanfiction.org with your request. I'll take care of it from there.

You would need to get permission

As I said, it will be added at the very end of the upgrade process, as this is one of the functions that will break the current code.

Something which the users wouldn't see, except perhaps a slow down of accessing data. Cleaned up the leftovers from story deletions. Whether done by mods in the past to delete underagers, or deleted by the users themselves. The story deletion function would delete the chapters and the story, but leave the rates and reviews. So, cleaned up all those leftovers which are attached to absolutely nothing (10+ years of it) so that it is now something that I'd do as routine maintenance every week or two.

LOL, no biggie, the dupes are nuked

I'm not planning on adding any more subdomains.

Awesome!
