Yo. So, um...

The latest chapter of Climbing Together is... um... for those of you might not have gotten to read it yet... um... Patreon, as LillianaVessFanBoy put it in a message, ate it. The reasoning: it has been hidden due to content that doesn't meet community guidelines, specifically, Teen Safety.

... This is an Adult only Fanfic page. I... and even then, the chapter doesn't have any actual sex! It didn't even tell me what part! Am i just supposed to know what part of a story 33,000 words long has bothered the butterflies? I... I am at a loss.

I resubmitted it. If it was just a weird, random hiccup, then the chapter will be back up in two-to three days. If not, I will see a response, I guess? If this was from someone reporting it... um... WHY?!

Like, I got no words. I'll be the first to say my stories have adult only stuff. I deal with serious topics in my stories, and I show lemons as the natural parts of relationships sex is. I am an adults-only creator. My lemons are always marked as such. Ya'll know what you might get and can choose to look away or not.

If this wasn't a random moment of Patreon stupidity but was someone reporting it and them going, oh okay, pull it, then... whoever did, you sir/ma'am, are a douche.

Now, if anyone looks below, they will find the chapter attached in its normal two formats. Have a nice day. Going back to Magic now. So much to do, did not need this shift messing with my calm!

Update 5/2:

Patreon okayed the chapter and its... LOL... lack of changes. Still no idea why it was flagged, but hey, it's back up for those of you who had yet to read it. In other news, 27,000 words done so far in Magic, shooting for a Sunday release. Although if it's Grammarlied or not will probably depend on how masocistic i feel like being Saturday Night/Sunday morning. But I won't have Sunday to work on it - Early Mother's Day thing for the family.

idk

I know Primordial Vortex has a similar problem, so I think it is a site-wide thing going on

Gessen

Hope it was just a glitch and not someone shitting in our pond. Enjoy your Magic, remember, Commander saves bank accounts and lives. Appreciate all your works and the effort you put in on quality

Another artist I follow has recently run afoul of unfair censoring for nonsense. His current work around is to post links to the Google doc. Which is kinda annoying since every chapter has a poll for what happens next. But it's not his fault and it works

Southmonk

It's not random, Patreon is like that.

vimesenthusiast

Yeah, but not telling me specifically what is wrong?! How am I supposed to correct it then?

vimesenthusiast

Thanks, I will contact him via email to get his opinion on this.

Matthew Williams

There's a thought that they've started integrating an AI-powered reviewer/watchdog periodically scans through recent posts for what its been programmed to consider, according to community guidelines, as content violations.

Elliote Elanor

Ur doing amazing work man, dont let bs like this get to you ^^

Elias

I think it's a site wide thing as a number of other creators I follow have had similar issues , and it's either not explained or some odd reason is given that I know is not in the chapter

vimesenthusiast

So, like it doxxed Climbing Together because of Stallion of the Line? So no more lemons? Fuck that. I am an adult only creator! Teen Safety? WTF!?

Southmonk

Any thing that hints to nsfw they can just do this, so safest is to link to Google docs or attachment.

Orchamus

It seems to be a site wide thing, primordial vortex was pissed too because it did the same to some of his stuff.

Tellemicus Sundance

Huh. That's weird. It cane through for me just fine. I hope you can figure this out!

Delphinous

another patreon member i follow who also writes adult rated stories Kairomaru has had a similar issues where new posts are getting 'community guideline' restricted since February. I beleive that they came to the conclusion that it was someone within their followers that was directly reporting as a malicious member, but i don't know if htey ever confirmed that or if it was just an idea they had

Peter K

A lot of authors I follow have started going external-link-only for this reason

vimesenthusiast

Well, see my previous response, ergo the douche-itude of such an act.

Kyo Amamoto

this has happened to a lot of writer usually on the hentai writing side of things. my advice keep the attachments for future chapters. although an epub version migth be nice to include

Kyo Amamoto

cambrian has had to deal with this and its usually done by auto review by the platform no reporting required

Kyo Amamoto

you're not. they want no hentai on thier site. have been doing this to people who draw for years.

Matthew Williams

It may also be that it recognizes the characters as teenagers and the situations as too adult and/or too dangerous for them, but fails to recognize that the characters are part of an 18+ Only Patreon account. Like I said: Misread or misrepresents the story content as a community content violation.

Delphinous

whether it's a malicious actor or just some new jerkassery from patreon i hope it gets resolved.

Delphinous

makes me wonder if it's some new 'AI' (really an artificial stupid) and that, as per normal these days, anything that gets flagged is guilty until proven innocent, and getting a real person to check is a chore

Hiryo

If it's again due Papal/Credit Card dealers or so enforcing the non adult content issue... *grml*

Hiryo

Still, I hope all can ejoy the chapter.

Novus

Hmmm, never had that problem with writing. Had one of my two patreons locked down entirely once until I went through the service people to prove I didn't violate guidelines. Odd to see it happen on purely written works. I'd make sure to file a support ticket just in case. That way, if you prove to them that the content wasn't in violation of ToS, they can ignore additional reports from the same person if it was a person.

vimesenthusiast

Good thinking. At the moment, I'm assuming it was an AI snafu and won't be repeated. But if the same chapter is rejected, I will go the support ticket route. Again, that it was this one chapter that got snagged is VERY weird.

Bt

Probably someone fast fingered something

MacArther

The other fanfic people I follow have been moving to either a linked Google Doc or a download file with zero story text on the site. If this is a malicious person and not some super dumb AI then said person needs to get a life.
