@Platypus... I was about to leave you a message about something else when I noticed that you have a tendency to archive discussions on this page approximately once per year at around this time. Your conversation tab was getting pretty big and cluttered here, so I created a 7th archive to stuff everything into and placed all the conversations that already haven't been archived into there. Also created an 8th archive for you to use in the future! Hope it helps! --[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 21:19, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

== What measure is an Underage ==

'''Additional note:''' You might also want to ask everyone to put their signature and date whenever they post, and to create a new section whenever they are starting a new topic or discussion with you (commenting on a different discussion can be done under a previous section). It will help keep things organized here, and since you are the only active admin, it is essential. --[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 21:26, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

While it is of course a bit obvious that 6 or 10 is underage, what is the lower measure allowed on the site to not be considered underage?
-
== Adult Section and Organization ==
+
While most countries make it illegal sexual '''images''' of women under 18, the age of consent varies, and with it the age you could '''write''' about probably does too.
 +
The most common age of consent under 18 is 16, Japan seems to allow 14, last I checked my own country was 12, which surprised me, not taking it in consideration but thought important to mention.
-
Hey Platypus, I've been working on creating categories to help organize stuff better. Could you do me a favor and change the Adult Section's category from System Pages to [[:Category:Story Ratings]]? That way its classified in with the other Story Rating categories. This was what I was meaning to ask you about before I got side tracked.
+
Either way my point is, at what age is it allowed to be written about without breaking the "no underage sexual content" rule?

Hey Platypus, I just finished the initial rough draft for the new Main Page (linked in the heading title). The idea is to clean it up a bit and provide a bit more structure by cutting out the links and tables that show off the stories and move them to their own pages. At the same time, I put in spaces and placeholders for additional information that new users would need to know and understand before actively starting or editing pages here. What do you think? Any suggestions? Feel free to edit and add onto it, as while I started the darn thing, I dunno that I can finish it. I am not that good with advanced formatting. Put your feedback on the discussion page, as it will be easier for me to find.

Hey Platypus, I just finished setting up the necessary sub-pages for the new main page design. Still probably needs some work, but right now, its functional (apart from the lack of content in the Etiquette section -- I need to talk with you and others about what should go in that spot). Could you do me a favor and look it over when you have the time to do so? If everything is good, I'll transfer the contents of the page to the main page as soon as I get a green light from you, otherwise I will continue to update the rough draft page according to what you deem needs to be improved.
+
Hey, I'm not sure if I'm asking in the right format, but is there no way to add an image in pages anymore? I tried the method in the tutorial of adding a link but all I get is a captcha circle. Sorry again if this question is in the wrong area/format!

Alright, I updated the new Main Page draft. Re-added in the sample stories, but it should look a bit nicer. Updated some of the story tag templates with different colors, and added the {{Abandoned}} tag template. Also included notes on what the {{Private}}, {{Public}}, {{DNE}}, and {{Abandoned}} tags mean under the Etiquette section. May need to work on the wording a bit.
+
Edit - If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to send me a link to one of these new pages? So that I can hopefully replicate it? But if you're busy don't worry about it, I'll keep an eye out myself :)

== Re: Clarification on the Rules ==

Hey Plat, just wanted to tell ya that the user Tr0ll seems to have just redone his spam on the main page and who knows where else. That includes your talk page. I've been trying to reverse it wherever I can, but unless this person is banned, they'll likely just keep doing this nonsense.
-
I finally got around to adding the rules to the [[Main Page (2019)]], and although the rules are fairly simple in nature, they could use some clarification and/or some rewording for newer people.  
+
Edit: Currently working on getting some of the conversations that were deleted from this page into the Archive 8 page and keeping some of the more recent stuff back on this page. I tried to just undo the troll's post, but got hit with the external link error.
-
Rule 1 in particular could use some clarification, as from what I've been able to tell, there are still plenty of remnants of under-age sex in the various adult stories that I've come across (including Rampage).
+
-
Since I am familar with the context of the creation of Rule 1 (it came about in part because of rampant stories involving pedophillia, and to a lesser extent because of the rampant use of underage sex in general), it is worth noting that the actual definition of Pedophillia is defined as a '''having a sexual attraction for ''prepubescent'' minors''', which is generally legally interpreted as minors being 13 years of age or younger... though that is not strictl''Italic text''y speaking accurate either. Do note that it is ''not'' a general term for being attracted or having sex with a minor in general. Technically, there are at least 3 different terms that describe having sex or being attracted to a minor: Pedophillia (Attraction to prepubescent minors), Hebephilia (Attraction to pubescent minors in early adolescence, typically between the ages of 11 & 14), and Ephebophilia (attraction to adolescences between the ages of around 15 to 19). Further more, the age of sexual consent varies from state to state and country to country, going as low as the age of 14.
+

''Side Note:'' While I am not saying the rule ''should'' be changed, but I feel like it would be beneficial to state things a bit more clearly on exactly where the line is drawn... especially considering that there are still several stories on the wiki that portray underage sex, and that change regarding it could be beneficial if implemented with caution and prudence. The wording of a rule should reflect the actual enforcement that comes along with it, and prudence should be factored in as well. With regards to rule 1, it is worth asking if an outright ban is appropriate verses a soft ban where you judge the severity of the situation on a case by case basis.Not to mention the cases where a character's exact age isn't stated but is implied. A line does need to be drawn somewhere, and while I do think the current line is a good place, I also realize that it is somewhat restrictive in what stories you can tell. Sometimes a story calls for a character to be underage in order for it to work properly, and in such instances what then? Teenage protagonists and victims are a common trope, that while it should be used sparingly, it should still be used at times when it is appropriate and necessary.
+
-
 
+
-
Reaffirmation: I do find pedophillia and manipulation of minors for sexual purposes to be abhorrent in thought and practice, and when it comes to stories, I draw the line at incredibly graphic descriptions of child abuse, having sex with prepubescent children, and other such issues. A good rule of thumb for me is If the characters involved they are 15 or older, I can tolerate it, but I intellectually disapprove and find it somewhat distasteful; 13 or younger is despicable and I will turn away and/or report; and if its incredibly violent and graphic above and beyond the usual stuff, I will also report, etc.
+
-
 
+
-
Bottom line: I could use clarification regarding Rule 1, for the purposes of updating the Main Page.

== Alternative home for Smutty? ==
-
Thank you for your quick response, Platypus. Most of what you said is basically stuff I already guessed at, but the way you put it was as straight forward and as clear as it could be presented. When looking at the rule itself, as well as the context surrounding it, I must say that there is still some serious potential for confusion. That means that we are still left with the problem of interpretation and enforcement of Robkohr's request as well as his intent. Fortunately, interpretation of literature is one of my strengths (I am majoring in English after all, and interpreting and understanding texts is a big part of what I've been taught), so I can give some possible insight into this.
+
Do you have Smutty Sex Romp up on a different site, P? If not, have you considered relocating? [[User:Anedwcan|Anedwcan]] 13:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
-
First off, I must reiterate that the confusion stems from the use of the term "Pedophillia" being used interchangeably with the term "underage sex" when the two are not actually the same thing. Pedophellia is a form of underage sex, but not all underage sex is necessarily Pedophillia. Legally speaking (at least in the US) when talking about underage sex, Pedophillia is associated with having sex with someone who is ''13 years or younger.'' IE, Pedophillia within that context is dealing with a ''specific form'' of having sex with a minor.
+
-
-
Second, Robkohr's is currently (or at least was), as far as I can tell, the systemop for the '''entire editthis.info service''' and NOT specifically the admin/systemop for this specific wiki. To reinforce this point, he specifically said "'''I don't monitor the content on the site'''" when he initially brought it up. IE, its not usually his job to monitor and deal with the concerns and day to day issues of a specific wiki. He only got involved because someone specifically told him about it, AND after doing some research came to the conclusion that allowing such content was in a '''legally grey area at best''' that could cause problems for the hosting website as a whole. If he says something or makes a request, it falls to the wiki admins (IE. you) to interpret and enforce them on each of the wikis. Effectively, '''RobKohr is the regional manager, while you are the store manager'''.  In other words, the specific rules and policy of the wiki are effectively under your area of authority... meaning that you can interpret, enforce, and change  the rules and policies (at least within reasonable confines). If new information is presented on the situation, then logically speaking, you have the power to adjust the policy of the wiki to reflect the new information.
+
I looked a little further into that Miraheze wikifarm Durzan recommended; seems like they might actually allow a site like this. The most similar (to CYOS) existing site I found was Star Wars Erotica Wiki (swew.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) (EDIT: and it's not so similar as I thought; it links to a separate CYOA style star wars erotica wiki, and I confused the two, but it's still a decent example of a markedly adult site hosted on the Miraheze platform). And a few years ago someone made a request for a Yiff wiki that was approved, so I can't see them turning down a CYOS style site (you can see the discussion about the Yiff wiki here-> meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive_2#Not_Safe_for_Work_Content_Policy.3F).  
-
Third and most importantly, when looking at the wording and content of Robkohr's original mandate, it becomes clear that his initial and primary intent was to deal specifically with pedophillia (due to the fact that he specifically filtered a story that was expressly about a person deliberately having rampant sex with 10-year-olds). Based on the contextual evidence that he put a filter in over the story that he censored, we can ''reasonably conclude that at least some of the contents of that story is where he initially drew the line at''. So that means that there is a hard line ban on content that approaches that level of explicitness in the area of underage sex. Since pedophillia is expressly defined as being attracted to prepubescent (IE children who haven't begun the biological process of becoming sexually mature yet; the upper cutoff point for still being prepubescent is age 13), that means that the hard ban on underage sex is '''at a bare minimum''' restricting the '''explicit portrayal of sex with dealing with children who are 13 years old or younger'''. Such has to be his intent, judging by the context.
+
Main NSFW content rules seem to be that  
-
The problem is, of course, when he says "'''If''' you find any content '''explicitly related''' to sex with a minor, '''please''' remove it ''or edit'' it." Note the points that I emphasized. He phrased it as a conditional request, and didn't clarify. He didn't say what to edit it to, didn't define what he meant when he said "explicitly related" meant, and didn't clarify if he was referring to underage sex as being under the age of consent, under the age where they would have certainly started puberty, and so forth. Is he talking about underage sex in general (which is what it is assumed to mean, and thus that became the current interpretation enforced by Rule 1)? If so, are cases of consensual sex between two minors allowed? These are just some of the questions that you should be asking us and yourself platypus.
+
1. Everything has to be legal in Netherlands, U.S., and U.K., (so rule 1 still stands, since underage sex stories are a legally grey area at best) and  
-
He gave a request and you are tasked with interpreting and enforcing it since he didn't specify (thats your perogative, especially since it is fairly apparent that he's not exactly reliable when it comes to trying to contact him). You can gleen from the context of his earlier sentences that he was probably targeting some specific aspects of the story, but that isn't quite certain. In other words, what I am saying is that as the acting admin, YOU need to refine and clarify the meaning of rule 1. Heck you can even relax its restrictions if you want to. There's plenty of wiggle room for it.
+
2. No pornographic images of real people (drawings and 3D renders seem to be fine)
-
Perhaps this should be brought up for further discussion in the General Discussion? But regardless of what you decide, I will uphold those rules, and see to it that the updated main page clearly has those specifications lined out.
+
It's possible I've missed something else important in the Content Policy, so you might want to have a look at it for yourself (meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Content_Policy). Additionally, Miraheze is free and ad-free.

Regarding the transfer of stories, the 'import' function would almost definitely be available to Bureaucrats (MediaWiki permission defaults even let Admins use it). So moving Smutty Sex Romp and Rampage would be very possible, if time consuming (as only small xml files can be imported using 'import,' around 100 pages in size). I'll make another set of Smutty Sex Romp xml files suitable for transferring this way soon. I'd be happy to help you import them if you'd like.

I know you said you weren't considering relocating right now, but maybe some of this will be useful in the future. Seems like RobKohr has no plan to fix the issues any time soon (editthis.info/wiki/User_talk:RobKohr#Not_dead).

Hey Platypus,
+
:Oh, that makes sense. You were working on it quite a bit earlier this year though. I figured you'd stopped because of how ungodly slow the website has become, and I hadn't considered that you might have lost interest.
-
I was wondering if you would be willing to collaborate with me (and anyone else who wants to) on a a new mega-story I started a few days ago. Right now my mind is a bit of a mess on where I want to take the various potential plot threads, how to structure the pages I've written already, the rules for public editing, and so forth.
+
:So far as my understanding goes, you'd still have plenty of ability to keep litter out on the other farm. If you create a new wiki on Miraheze, you'll have the Bureaucrat user rights. And it would be ''your'' wiki: you could write up the rules any way you wanted to, with even more power to enforce them. If you were to switch over, you would not have to worry about any loss of content moderating authority.  
-
Are you up for it? I haven't heard back from you.
+
:And trying it out has almost no risk. It's possible that they won't allow smut on their servers, and the worst case where they decide not to host the wiki, nothing really changes. We're just stuck on editthis, with one more possibilty ticked off the list.

Figured you might want to be alerted to the fact that [[User:Durzan|Durzan]] is posting explicit anal sex with a minor, as in a '''fifth-grader'''. [[TSRM- Take Bayley's shorts off?]] for reference. I was under the impression that underage sex was strictly forbidden on this site? [[Main_Page_(2019)#The_Rules|This]] is what gives me the impression. I've saved a couple snapshots of pages, in case there's an attempt to delete them after the fact. --[[User:TheWatcher|TheWatcher]] 18:07, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

I probably should have done a little more lurking before contributing to your story. Smutty Sex Romp is a wonderful work, and I wanted (want) to help add to it. Anyway, I might have jumped the gun a little. I made an account and added a few contributions before realizing Smutty Sex Romp was your work, and that you have perhaps higher standards than I can meet right now (knowing very little about creative writing, formatting a wiki, and whatnot). The first place I contributed was in your story, when I should've started in the sandbox.

==...On [[Three Sisters: Remastered]]==

I got a little carried away. Not that seven pages is insane, but I figured I should stop here and make sure what I've added is okay. It's easier to delete or fix seven pages than seventy (especially with the dial-up speed this site is running at). And since it's your story it's a-okay with me if you decide to delete all of my additions, no questions asked. I like what you've got going here, and I don't want to throw ants in your cereal.

The story itself was written before the underage sex ban was put into effect, and was abandoned completely when the author went AWOL three years ago. The original author had noticed that the original had a bunch of broken links and decided to take the opportunity to start over, leading to the second version of the story. However, he never finished transferring over the pages he had already finished, and since the story was private, nobody else had added any new content.
+
:Hello again! I was looking through the '''[[:Category:Pages Requiring Attention|Pages Requiring Attention]]''', and all of them had a 'This database did not find the text of a page..." error message. I figured you'd deleted or moved them, but for whatever reason the category stuck. I blanked [[Paladin/Caladbolg18|this one]] to see if that would remove the category stamp. Of course it did, but now the page doesn't have a category (which I've heard annoys you). I think I want you to delete [[Paladin/Caladbolg18]] for me, if it's not too much trouble. Is it normal that moved/deleted pages keep categories like this, or is this something else?
-
I was not adding any new content to the story, but going through and copying and pasting the missing routes from the original into the remastered version, consolidating a few pages, that sort of thing. I was NOT adding or writing any new content. I was planning and am still planning to go through one by one and update them to fit current standards and try to remove the underage sex by upping the age as you suggested.
+
:I've been wondering about those [[Special:SpecialPages|maintenance reports]] as well. I don't want you to go out of your way if the answer is complicated, but do they work at all? The [[Special:UncategorizedPages|uncategorized pages]] and [[Special:DeadendPages|deadend pages]] reports would be handy if they actually updated.  
-
On the surface, there seems to be a fairly easy to superficially adjust the story so that it works as the only place where Bayley's age/school year is mentioned is in the opening page (AFAIK), which is where it says she's a 5th grader. I've been pondering how to make the changes on the title page for the characters that need to be aged up without seriously messing up continuity errors in the story like what happened in Rampage and Smutty Sex Romp, but haven't yet come up with any decent solutions. However, upon looking closer, I realized that even with doing an artificial age bump, Bayley's character would still look and act like a 5th grader in all subsequent pages. I dunno about you, but if a character is stated to be 18 in the opening pages and was acting like a 5th grader... wouldn't that make me think that it was a flimsy edit or excuse to hide underage sex? That seems like a morally gray area that the rules of the site do not address one way or another.  
+
:Also, do you have a category for delete requests? I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask for them.  
-
If it breaks the rules, then I would have to go through every single page and significantly alter the story, which wasn't my original intent (remember I am just consolidating information, and making grammar/clarification edits, not adding anything new).

Just kinda wondering, what can be done about the many stories that have been abandoned?

To reflect this, I recently created and added the new {{Adopted}} tag to the main page. The idea (which I pulled from CHYOA) is that if someone wishes to continue or maintain a story that has been abandoned for a while, they can attach that tag to the story and basically take up the mantle of the main author. This is to ensure that all abandoned stories have a chance of being worked on and actively maintained. Of course, if the original author returns and starts working on it again, then the adopted author should respect the original author's wishes.

My reason for doing this is that there are many private stories (or public stories that see little activity), that only had one author working on them, and then all of a sudden, the user just stops coming. Those stories just sit there, with no love.

Another thought that I had as a possibility, is that abandoned stories could be edited by anyone, regardless of its original status.

I'm not sure if it's been brought up before. I've been lurking for a little as an anon and wanted to start contributing to stories: some of which have red options nobody has fleshed out (in some cases for well over a year as far as I can tell). Do red options that haven't been written belong to the person, or are they free game to make into a page?

Hello. Obviously, I have an account on Create Your Own Story, but I want to create an account on the main editthis.info page. I keep trying, but the same thing happens every time. I put in the username and the password. I made sure that the passwords were the same. I did the captcha. But every time I go to create the account, I get an error message: "Could not open socket in ./common/recaptcha/recaptchalib.php". I don't know who else to tell about this, so here I am. If you don't know anything about this, then could you please tell someone else who does. Thank you.

Thanks for the input on the pages I submitted. I've fixed a few capitalization mistakes and a missing period. Don't know why I didn't see those earlier. I don't intend on being a heavy contributor, but I would like to expand on a few neglected branches of the Rampage and SSR stories. If I do add more pages I'll be sure to check and double-check grammar before posting.

== Issues with External Images==
+
Hello. I was poking around the wiki and noticed that the Tutorial needed a bit of a clean-up, so I've tried my best. Unfortunately, the [[how_to_create_a_page|page creation]] page is protected and there's something I think would be a very helpful addition. The addition and the edits I made are on the [[Talk:Tutorial|Tutorial Discussion]], but feel free to change anything that you want. I figured you were the admin and might be able to edit the protected page. Thanks.

@Platypus Hey Platypus. Sorry for making your front page look ugly with my text, but I was wondering if you could help me out with something. In my story, [[Camp Skylight]], I tried to insert an image several times. I've done everything that the advanced guide said. When I want to insert an external link that should immediately display a picture on the page, I keep getting reCaptchas which I can't get away from. When I complete a reCaptcha to prove I'm human and not a spammer or a bot, it says that I've done it right. But when I want to save changes to a page with the external link on it, the process of reCaptchas keep repeating itself and thus I can't insert external links, as well as images. Am I doing something wrong, or is this an error from the site itself? --[[User:Axagon|Axagon]] 19:32, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer in my discussion, Platypus. I tried something else regarding this issue, and I think that the solution lies with the site you use for uploading your image. Beforehand, I used Imgur to implement pictures in my story. That just wouldn't work, so I used an alternative, TinyPic. This time it worked! --[[User:Axagon|Axagon]] 21:44, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

== Adopting other Interactives from other sites ==
-
== [[Life of a 13 year old]] probably needs to be dealt with... ==
+
Hi. I been looking at the number of stories, both kid-friendly and XXX-rated and I been thinking of allowing other content from other sites, both dead or infinantus-haitus and allowing both the original creators and contributors from those sites to post here. I know of a couple of good adult-heavy interactives from that bully site Writing.com that would struggle but accept the transfer. Personally, this was my second-best interactive site before the wacko admin of Writing.com committed a free-user genocide and banned everyone else from entering the site, to mine crypto, I guess?
-
While browsing through the recent changes page, I noticed that a new user, [[User:Bigboi1216]], was creating and editing pages for that story, which if I recall correctly is a story that completely revolves around underage sex. Naturally that is against the site rules. Since he is a new user who seems enthusiastic about adding to certain stories, I figured that he may not have neccesarily seen the rules on the front page and gave him a friendly heads up about the no underage sex rule, and let him know that the particular story he was working on is old and bloated and has practically been rendered off limits till it can be effectively dealt with. With that being said, It might be worth talking to him about this yourself.
+
- [[User:TheGreenRaider|TheGreenRaider]] 14:27, 26, Dec 2022(UTC)
-
As far as the story itself goes, it should probably be dealt with in some form or fashion. If it were a small story with only a few pages dealing with it, and an ambiguous title, then I'd have taken care of it myself. But there's 400 pages I'd have to go through and there's a rather blatantant title I don't have the power to change... so not sure if thats something I have the ability to reasonably deal with. I suspect this is the reason why this story hasn't been dealt with and instead given a DNE tag is because of this, and the fact that it has long been listed on the front page.
+
== Is this website dead? ==
-
As a temporary and preliminary measure, I've removed the story off the front page, but that won't prevent others from coming and editing or adding to the story if they know how and where to look. Any ideas? Or should we just let sleeping dogs lie (not necessarily the best choice given how a new user just started adding to a DNE story that currently violates website rules).
+
Is there any consistent updates of storys and active members?

-
Not really sure if you are the person to ask about this, or even if this is how its supposed to be done on here, but you are the only active one still regularly on here, and I have to start somewhere. Plus, I figured you could use some help... so letting you know I'm up for the responsibility wouldn't hurt. Not seeing anyone else applying, so I'd figure I would at least give a tentative offer.
+
That's after he just agreed to only be with the daughter but the mom then rejected him in the same path so the two paths conflict?

I do have experience as both a forum moderator and as a chat moderator on Crunchyroll, plus there's the whole rework of the front page that I did earlier in the year.

Update on applying for staff as well as getting you some deputies: I managed to find RobKohr's talk page on the main site. He seems like he was at least somewhat active over there within the past month or so, as he responded to a relatively recent comment over there.
+
*[[Deny that you were looking at Jenny's cleavage.]]
-
I went ahead and posted a request that he consider adding new admins for CYOS to help you out, and then offered to serve in a staff position if he found me trustworthy. Also put in a few good words for you and Bunni.
 
-
With any luck, Rob will see the message and respond. Even if Rob doesn't see fit to promote me, hopefully he will promote a few other trustworthy people to help you out who are just as active as I am, if not more.

== Could you rename some pages ==
 +
Hey, I was wondering if you could rename a few pages? Specifically I was wondering if you could rename these pages:[[Josh._An_18-year_old,_brown-haired_football_player]], [[Miranda._A_17-year-old_brown-haired_girl]], and [[Chelsea._The_36_yo,_blonde-haired_volleyball-playing_mother_of_the_3_kids_above]].
-
P.S. Would you be willing to vouch for me?
+
Specifically I'd like them to be renamed by increasing the ages of Miranda and Josh by a year and change blonde-haired to brunette.

- [[User:v4n1ll4l0v3r|v4n1ll4l0v3r]]
-
 
+
-
Read through a few of the 400 some-odd pages of this story clearly revealed that this story hinges upon underage sex. In one route that I followed, I found that the 9-year-old daughter actively seeks to seduce the dad (Who's the POV character for the route). Later on in that same branch, you find out that the 16 year old first born tried to seduce the dad also when she was younger... and turned to sexually "playing" with the 9-year-old when her advances were rebuffed.
+
-
 
+
-
Its a damn shame that this story breaks the wiki rules, because the story itself seems well written and organized. I can tell that the author put a lot of thought and effort into this story, and as an author, I wince at the thought of seeing all that effort go to waste. But, rules are rules, so something needs to be done about it.
+
-
 
+
-
Since this is the second big story I've come across that revolves around underage sex, it might be a good idea for us to keep a list of these stories. They are too big for us to manually change to follow the rules, and even if we did so, the entire premise of these stories would have to be rewritten anyway. Probably would be best to make a running list of these types of stories and/or create a new category/index to dump them in while we figure out how to deal with them. If/when a story and its pages gets completely deleted or edited, we can take the story off said list.
+
-
 
+
-
Of course, if there's a mass deletion option, that easily solves the problem of cleaning up irredeemable stories, but my best guess is that should only be used as a last resort.

== Re: Main Page Edits, Disclaimer & Protections ==
+
-
 
+
-
Hey Plat, I actually kinda liked the edits that [[User:Tarash‎]] made, though he probably should've asked first before editing it.  I do think the changes that the version without the columns in the disclaimer honestly looks the best and that the main page should have the website introduction from that older version reapplied. Heck, I'd have done it myself earlier if it occurred to me AND if I figured out how to do it without making it look horrible.
+
-
 
+
-
I do agree with [[User:CheapKit]]'s admonition and blocking for essentially reverting your revert (At least that's what it looks like under recent changes) and including disclaimers. If any disclaimers are added, it needs to be carefully thought out by the admins.
+
-
 
+
-
As far as protections on the Main Page goes, I do agree with protecting it, as since it is often the first thing people see when they come to the site, it will be the first target for vandals and trolls. However, the protection does present a problem, as it hinders my abilities to edit out mistakes, make some minor tweaking, and generally see what works and doesn't work. Perhaps only allowing trusted users to edit the main page would be a good compromise? Or if there isn't an easy way to set that up (without help from RobKohr), then maybe we could make a [[Template:MainPage]] for it so that we can edit the Main Page behind the scenes, yet still have it be protected on the main page.

Hi Platypus,

I've got a strange message asking me to help contribute to an article. Nothing strange about the message itself, but rather what I found afterwards. I've looked at the article and it seems to be a biographical article about a person, rather than a story. Except, I've just googled the person. I found countless articles on many other Wiki sites about this person, all with contradicting and oftentimes provably false information on them. It's very odd, and I don't know why anyone would do this, but I thought you should know.

Hey Plat,
+
-
 
+
-
Any idea what caused the recent 2-day downing of the website?
+
-
 
+
-
I know we can't really do much to prevent it here, as we don't run the site as a whole, but... maybe we could find another provider? I'm kinda tired of the lack of maintenance and active support we are receiving from RobKohr, and thinking its probably time to figure out how to go about either creating a new independent wiki or figuring out how to archive and transfer the stuff from here to a different farm with newer features and less jankiness. And on the plus side, starting from scratch would allow you and I would to come up with the rules.
+
-
 
+
-
Keep in mind, this is just me spitballing here; I'm not exactly sure how much effort it would be or how much it'd cost. But something needs to be done, and RobKohr probably isn't around to do it.

Would a host transfer be possible without RobKohr's help? Do you have access to the CYOS archives? Could you conceivably download it?

I think I found a wikifarm that's free, more up to date, and most importantly, might be willing to host a site such as this. Its hard to say for sure though.

Hey Plat,

Just got a message from Friedman (the site owner of CHYOA). He has heard how the site has been having bandwith and hosting problems for a while now, and suspects that sooner or later editthis.info will go offline for good. As such, he wanted me to introduce you to him so that the two of you could talk it over and figure out how he could help with these issues. His first thought was to offer to host the site himself if you are up for it. I did tell him that you don't have access to the server archives and that RobKohr is notoriously hard to contact, but hey... you got an offer!
+
-
 
+
-
I'd talk to him on CHYOA if I were you (Didn't you once create an account there to point out that someone tried to plagiarize your work?), maybe the two of you can figure something out. If nothing else, transferring some of the stories over to CHYOA would definitely be on the table (though it'd be long and tedious).

I sent a message to your old CHYOA account. If you can't find your login password, but can remember the email linked for it, it shouldn't be hard to reset your password.

Since you have been thinking about transferring, did you have any luck getting access to the archives?

Current revision as of 07:21, 11 October 2023

Since this page has become rather cluttered, I've moved old discussions to the archive pages below. Feel free to leave new messages here. I'll get back to you ASAP!

What measure is an Underage

While it is of course a bit obvious that 6 or 10 is underage, what is the lower measure allowed on the site to not be considered underage?

While most countries make it illegal sexual images of women under 18, the age of consent varies, and with it the age you could write about probably does too. The most common age of consent under 18 is 16, Japan seems to allow 14, last I checked my own country was 12, which surprised me, not taking it in consideration but thought important to mention.

Either way my point is, at what age is it allowed to be written about without breaking the "no underage sexual content" rule? (I did search the archives, but could not find it. At best I found someone asking the same thing on Archive5, but it seems to have gone unanswered for them too.

- WolfDFang 12:55, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Adding Images

Hey, I'm not sure if I'm asking in the right format, but is there no way to add an image in pages anymore? I tried the method in the tutorial of adding a link but all I get is a captcha circle. Sorry again if this question is in the wrong area/format!

Edit - If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to send me a link to one of these new pages? So that I can hopefully replicate it? But if you're busy don't worry about it, I'll keep an eye out myself :)

Ban Tr0ll

Hey Plat, just wanted to tell ya that the user Tr0ll seems to have just redone his spam on the main page and who knows where else. That includes your talk page. I've been trying to reverse it wherever I can, but unless this person is banned, they'll likely just keep doing this nonsense.

Edit: Currently working on getting some of the conversations that were deleted from this page into the Archive 8 page and keeping some of the more recent stuff back on this page. I tried to just undo the troll's post, but got hit with the external link error.

Alternative home for Smutty?

Do you have Smutty Sex Romp up on a different site, P? If not, have you considered relocating? Anedwcan 13:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

-

I looked a little further into that Miraheze wikifarm Durzan recommended; seems like they might actually allow a site like this. The most similar (to CYOS) existing site I found was Star Wars Erotica Wiki (swew.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) (EDIT: and it's not so similar as I thought; it links to a separate CYOA style star wars erotica wiki, and I confused the two, but it's still a decent example of a markedly adult site hosted on the Miraheze platform). And a few years ago someone made a request for a Yiff wiki that was approved, so I can't see them turning down a CYOS style site (you can see the discussion about the Yiff wiki here-> meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive_2#Not_Safe_for_Work_Content_Policy.3F).

Main NSFW content rules seem to be that

1. Everything has to be legal in Netherlands, U.S., and U.K., (so rule 1 still stands, since underage sex stories are a legally grey area at best) and

2. No pornographic images of real people (drawings and 3D renders seem to be fine)

It's possible I've missed something else important in the Content Policy, so you might want to have a look at it for yourself (meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Content_Policy). Additionally, Miraheze is free and ad-free.

Regarding the transfer of stories, the 'import' function would almost definitely be available to Bureaucrats (MediaWiki permission defaults even let Admins use it). So moving Smutty Sex Romp and Rampage would be very possible, if time consuming (as only small xml files can be imported using 'import,' around 100 pages in size). I'll make another set of Smutty Sex Romp xml files suitable for transferring this way soon. I'd be happy to help you import them if you'd like.

I know you said you weren't considering relocating right now, but maybe some of this will be useful in the future. Seems like RobKohr has no plan to fix the issues any time soon (editthis.info/wiki/User_talk:RobKohr#Not_dead).

If you don't mind my asking, why are you so hesitant to relocate?

--Pickles (Talk) 17:34, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Oh, that makes sense. You were working on it quite a bit earlier this year though. I figured you'd stopped because of how ungodly slow the website has become, and I hadn't considered that you might have lost interest.
So far as my understanding goes, you'd still have plenty of ability to keep litter out on the other farm. If you create a new wiki on Miraheze, you'll have the Bureaucrat user rights. And it would be your wiki: you could write up the rules any way you wanted to, with even more power to enforce them. If you were to switch over, you would not have to worry about any loss of content moderating authority.
And trying it out has almost no risk. It's possible that they won't allow smut on their servers, and the worst case where they decide not to host the wiki, nothing really changes. We're just stuck on editthis, with one more possibilty ticked off the list.
Of course there is no real urgency as far as moving is concerned, but it would be great to read and edit Smutty (and any other stories that would be moved over) on a website that works. I'll stop buzzing in your ear about it, but please give Miraheze some consideration and let me know if you change your mind.
--Pickles (Talk) 02:22, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Am I doing this right?

I probably should have done a little more lurking before contributing to your story. Smutty Sex Romp is a wonderful work, and I wanted (want) to help add to it. Anyway, I might have jumped the gun a little. I made an account and added a few contributions before realizing Smutty Sex Romp was your work, and that you have perhaps higher standards than I can meet right now (knowing very little about creative writing, formatting a wiki, and whatnot). The first place I contributed was in your story, when I should've started in the sandbox.

I got a little carried away. Not that seven pages is insane, but I figured I should stop here and make sure what I've added is okay. It's easier to delete or fix seven pages than seventy (especially with the dial-up speed this site is running at). And since it's your story it's a-okay with me if you decide to delete all of my additions, no questions asked. I like what you've got going here, and I don't want to throw ants in your cereal.

--Pickles 06:00, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello again! I was looking through the Pages Requiring Attention, and all of them had a 'This database did not find the text of a page..." error message. I figured you'd deleted or moved them, but for whatever reason the category stuck. I blanked this one to see if that would remove the category stamp. Of course it did, but now the page doesn't have a category (which I've heard annoys you). I think I want you to delete Paladin/Caladbolg18 for me, if it's not too much trouble. Is it normal that moved/deleted pages keep categories like this, or is this something else?
I've been wondering about those maintenance reports as well. I don't want you to go out of your way if the answer is complicated, but do they work at all? The uncategorized pages and deadend pages reports would be handy if they actually updated.
Also, do you have a category for delete requests? I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask for them.
In any case, thanks for helping me out! --Pickles 17:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

P.S. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on my last message! I'm glad I've got your seal of approval. P.P.S. Is it just me or is the site loading faster today?

Red Options

I'm not sure if it's been brought up before. I've been lurking for a little as an anon and wanted to start contributing to stories: some of which have red options nobody has fleshed out (in some cases for well over a year as far as I can tell). Do red options that haven't been written belong to the person, or are they free game to make into a page?

Yo. I'm thinking of coming back to this website but not fully until I have something to write about. Just curious: what happened to the edit button on the Main Page?

Thanks for the deletes

Hi Platypus. Thanks for deleting the pages I blanked. I was about to ask if you would do that. :) (I assume you looked and saw I was the only contributor.) DirtyOldMan 20:43, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Having a problem creating an account

Hello. Obviously, I have an account on Create Your Own Story, but I want to create an account on the main editthis.info page. I keep trying, but the same thing happens every time. I put in the username and the password. I made sure that the passwords were the same. I did the captcha. But every time I go to create the account, I get an error message: "Could not open socket in ./common/recaptcha/recaptchalib.php". I don't know who else to tell about this, so here I am. If you don't know anything about this, then could you please tell someone else who does. Thank you.

Final touches to the Tutorial

Hello. I was poking around the wiki and noticed that the Tutorial needed a bit of a clean-up, so I've tried my best. Unfortunately, the page creation page is protected and there's something I think would be a very helpful addition. The addition and the edits I made are on the Tutorial Discussion, but feel free to change anything that you want. I figured you were the admin and might be able to edit the protected page. Thanks.

Adopting other Interactives from other sites

Hi. I been looking at the number of stories, both kid-friendly and XXX-rated and I been thinking of allowing other content from other sites, both dead or infinantus-haitus and allowing both the original creators and contributors from those sites to post here. I know of a couple of good adult-heavy interactives from that bully site Writing.com that would struggle but accept the transfer. Personally, this was my second-best interactive site before the wacko admin of Writing.com committed a free-user genocide and banned everyone else from entering the site, to mine crypto, I guess?

Is this website dead?

Is there any consistent updates of storys and active members?

The link I changed didn't match up with the continuation of the the story path

That's after he just agreed to only be with the daughter but the mom then rejected him in the same path so the two paths conflict?

Is contradicts this path


Could you rename some pages

Hey, I was wondering if you could rename a few pages? Specifically I was wondering if you could rename these pages:Josh._An_18-year_old,_brown-haired_football_player, Miranda._A_17-year-old_brown-haired_girl, and Chelsea._The_36_yo,_blonde-haired_volleyball-playing_mother_of_the_3_kids_above.

Specifically I'd like them to be renamed by increasing the ages of Miranda and Josh by a year and change blonde-haired to brunette.
