[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6855964, member: 22424"] Yep, it sounds like the system is working as intended - a product can be flagged as problematic, it gets checked and then either restored or removed. Once restored, it's then whitelisted to prevent someone trying to suppress it by constantly reporting it as a problem. That all strikes me as pretty much right - even with an "adult" tag in the system, there are probably some sorts of material that they don't want to be associated with (or, indeed, perhaps legally [i]can't[/i]), so it's right that that tag isn't just a carte blanche. There are still two lingering not-quite-issues that I have about the system, though... 1) If there are some kinds of material they simply won't/can't accept, it would be good if they put up a list, albeit with the disclaimer that it's not comprehensive. 2) It remains to be seen what happens if they do deem a product to be unacceptable, especially if that product only has a small amount of unacceptable material - will they simply block it, will they block it but explain why, or will they work with the publisher (potentially allowing him or her to excise the problematic material and return to the site)? But those are fairly minor things. Mostly, it's just good to see the system working when put to an actual test. [/QUOTE]
