If I was concerned about the PPC wiki causing harassment, I wouldn't go "as long as I'm not personally responsible it's fine", I'd want it fixed across the board. That's why we no longer have Araeph's angry rant as a FAQ, for instance - because people who didn't write it looked at it and said "that's a problem, let's fix it".

(I do not see this as a risk, because: harassment by who, and why can't they use Google?)

Sorry for the belated post, but on linking to killed badfics on the wiki lists by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2023-05-01 13:07:22 UTC Serious business Reply

I think we should no longer make it a requirement, since while some people prefer complete citation, some are afraid direct links to badfics could facilitate harassment.

Anyone else share this concern and care to weigh in? by Neshomeh on 2023-05-01 23:52:43 UTC Reply

For the record, I don't share it, myself. The killed badfic list has been around for ages without, as far as I know, becoming a hit list for trolls. I don't see why that would change now.

Anyway, if I thought PPC activity actually incited harassment against fic authors, I'd stop writing missions, never mind keeping a record of which fics have already been missioned.

I'm only saying we should no longer require it by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2023-05-02 01:39:20 UTC Reply

As in mission writers can include links if they want to.
