Objectionable content

I'm creating a wiki expressly for the purposes of helping creative writers improve their skills, and it is intended to be a serious artistic resource rather than the usual flaky writing groups. With that in mind, it is entirely possible that some of the writing that is posted on the site will have what some might consider adult or erotic material (though no actual porn).

My question is whether this falls inside the bounds of what wikidot.com considers objectionable content. I can't find any information that details wikidot's stance in this regard, but I do note that there is a link at the end of each page for "flag as objectionable". Can someone clear this up for me, as I think the service that Wikidot could potentially provide for this site of mine is invaluable, but I need to ensure that the writers who submit to the site can be assured that their speech will be free.

Thanks,
Tadhg

Now, this is not official, but I believe the "flag as objectionable" just notifies the site admin (you). There is a spot in the site manager where you can view the flagged pages. (Abuse reports) So, should someone have an objection to your content, you get to decide if it is ok or not, and deal with it. I'm guessing that you would only have issues with wikidot's policy in extreme cases, and you would likely be given time to correct it. Even in the worst possible case where your site was disposed of (I do not think this would ever happen), you can always keep a backup on your computer to restore it from. (See the backup too in the site manager)

I would guess you will have absolute few or no issues, though it might be a good idea to ask your users to place a note before any particularly questionable content.

Thanks for asking. I hope I have helped, but remember, I can not provide official information about wikidot.
