I'm sure some of us could come up with a list of our own <smile>. Just think of
the old stripper.

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!

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?
