This is bullying, being a troll, and being homophobic.  People should be free to be themselves on here and support whatever pairing they like, but not only is this comment rude, but their stories are obviously parodies of others stories on here which sometimes if not always have violent endings not in a creative story telling way but clearly to demean the people that enjoy the pairings.

I’ve looked at the story in question. Given that the review was a self-review, which is not permitted by our Terms of Service, I’ve removed it.

The comment was in keeping with the member profile, if you read the bio.  Are they nice people? Not particularly, nor have they been active on AFF in over 10 years. But the bio clearly states their “mission” and because they reviewed their own story, the review was not bullying. If they had left that review on another author’s story, I would see it differently, but having left it for themselves removes it from the realm of trolling. I’ve not seen any complaint in our records from the author they addressed, and indeed, that author might never have seen the review or found it unworthy of response.

As far as the content of their stories, we have long had a policy of not censoring content other than to remain within legal requirements. We don’t quality-review submissions, nor do we censor parodies like these. If such stories are not to your taste, then it is really up to you to click past and not read them, just as we’d expect this group to avoid content they so obviously dislike.  

Should this group decide to return, and leave similar reviews on other authors’ stories, rest assured they will be told what our position is on that sort of immature behavior. They can comply with our Terms of Service or face potential account deletion.

There’s a self review here too – http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/review.php?set=read&no=600015705

I hestitated to mention it because in my own puerile way I find it pretty damn funny.

But while I have a mod’s attention:

The same story! twice! except one is marked continuations allowed – unsure if this is allowed?

Thank you, JayDee! I cleaned up the review board on that story as well.

As far as the other issue, it’s been addressed by one of our moderators already. The user gets to decide which version stays, but one has to go, or they both will get hidden until the author picks one to be removed.
