Thanks all for sending in these titles. We've discovered it must be
admitted, to our amusement that the list of "bad words" that the system
has been using to flag adult content titles is overly extensive and as
a result has been flagging books that are entirely "innocent" (smile).
This list predates my arrival here and I don't know who or how it was
put together but am glad to inform you that we have a team looking at
the list now to shrink it down. Also -- Engineering has made the fix to
allow volunteers to be able to change the rating on a book so that
should be taken care of with the next release slated for the first week
of May.
All good things,
Pavi

Revelation by Andrews was flagged that way and I was unable to change
it. This is in my comments.

Amber and others,
Engineering is trying to figure out why the adult content flag
is mistakenly being applied to some books. It would help if they had
particular instances of that happening to look into. If any of you have
had an adult content flag attached to a book you either submitted or
proofread, please send in the title and I will forward it on to
engineering.
Thanks!
Pavi

ratings?
I have submitted four books in the last few days, all of which
received an adult rating by the automatic adult thingy. None of these
books are adult in the least. Furthermore, when I do get an adult
rating, it's because books have three or fewer adult words. What gives?
And why can submitters not change that setting?
