Well, they've just put a new note up on the homepage...

June 4th 2012 -- Notices: •Please note we would like to clarify the content policy we have in place since 2002. FanFiction.Net follows the Fiction Rating system ranging from Fiction K to Fiction M. Although Fiction Ratings goes up to Fiction MA, FanFiction.Net since 2002 has not allowed Fiction MA rated content which can contain adult/explicit content on the site. FanFiction.Net only accepts content in the Fiction K through Fiction M range. Fiction M can contain adult language, themes and suggestions. Detailed descriptions of physical interaction of sexual or violent nature is considered Fiction MA and has not been allowed on the site since 2002.


No word about summaries needing to be rated K, though...


ETA: Yes, I see it in the general rules that you need to consent to before posting a story, but they haven't mentioned it in their latest heads-up.

When I saw the announcement this morning it only made me wonder, why they're only posting about it now... (though on the other hand, since it's FFN, it doesn't surprise me)...

It would be too good to be true if it were because of the fact that they're loosing a lot of members/stories...

And yeah I get that MA hasn't been allowed since 2002 (I used to be around when it was still allowed... jesus, I'm getting old...), but come on... I get that it's their page, their rules and what not, but the smut's been around for ages and nobody had a problem with it, ... if this suddenly disturbted them so effin' much the least they could've done is give a warning, so the members could've transfered/downloaded their stories/reviews... (Again, it's FFN so no surprise there)
