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.

"the content policy we have in place since 2002"

And this is the problem.

It's been ten years. We're deep into the 21th century; we should be going ahead, not backwards.

It's been ten years of having those M stories that would be actually MA according to your obsolete rules there, FF.Net. And no one has taken an issue to your page for them before this. Just give a huge chunk of the fandoms what they want and create a MA section for us. Grow up.

Not to mention I find the notion of a middle category between T and M ridiculous. Okay, so you are mature, but not mature enough to be shown how sex works? Then you aren't mature at all!

Agreed!
