Hi, Soronel, I can picture myself writing something like: "Notice to the
reader: Be aware of purple prose during sexual descriptions". Nah, I'd
probably not do it. I might just send a note to the submitter and say: "can
you believe those sex scenes? I really doubt that could happen." I don't
think the submitter or proofreader are going to comment on whether the
writer's style is flowery or spare. Regards, Kim.

andthank you.
I would actually prefer text comments written by both the submitter and
proofer. A combo-box system could easily lead to locks on those levels
which would result in even more censorship than the adult content flag
currently allows. Text comments also allow for far greater nuance about the
contents if that is required.
