I had 119 stories posted yesterday, and now today I'm looking to see there's only 117 of them. I went to repost one of them and now some of the story tags that are usually up for me to click off are gone too, just not showing up period. Is anyone else having this problem?

Let me guess, the missing stories had one or more of the following tags: mt/ft, Ma/ft, mt/Fa, ft/ft, Fa/ft, Zoophilia, or Bestiality?
There was a big announcement earlier today, Lazeez is having to change the content rules because an activist out of Germany was bugging Lazeez's hosting provider and the hosting provider has come down on Lazeez saying under 18 sexual content can not be allowed.
The announcement has been hidden for now because it was causing too much ruckus and Lazeez needed to go to bed.
You may be able to see them by changing your access level in your my account settings to full access.
Short stories with the above tags and a low score may get deleted right away.
Other stories will be hidden behind the content filter for now to give the authors a chance to bring them into compliance with the new rules.
There will be no grandfathering of older stories this time. Anything that was grandfathered when the under 14 rule was instituted will have to be deleted.
That explains it. Annoying, but not a big deal, I can rework my stories. Only real problem is the queue waiting time for everything to get posted again.
Though my heart goes out to those who ain't as lucky as me. It's some straight up bullshit mang, fuck me but I HATE these Moral Majority types.
Ma/ft still covers a relationship between a 18-19 year old and an older person I presume. One of my 2 stories has been filtered despite having all 18+ characters, since I tagged the story for a teen(18) in a relation with an adult.
The teen tags only referred to characters under eighteen. So I think you're safe when it comes to reposting.
How does reposting work, do I have to post the entire story again manually, or would reworking the tag suffice ?
I'm guessing posting them all again manually. My flagged stories all involve the teen flag and I don't think using the new tag is going to change anything since they were flagged because of an invisible tag I can't uncheck.
yes, authors can't remove the filter/dot flag.
If your stories don't have under 18 sex, then edit the tags (you don't need to change anything since you can't see the offending tags anymore) and save. But to get the flag removed, you'll have to send us a message.
Just a heads up, there is only me to remove the flags and I currently have a queue of over a 100 messages to go through, which means it's slow.
But since nothing is getting deleted without actual check anymore, then don't panic, we'll get to your notification and straighten things out for you.
You should be able to go in and change the f & m tags to F & M if all your characters are all over 18.
Ma/ft still covers a relationship between a 18-19 year old
No. With the old tags, "Ma" was a male 18 or older. "ft" was a female 14–17.
Ma/ft still covers a relationship between a 18-19 year old and an older person I presume.
Incorrect. 18-19 year olds are adults. Such should be coded Ma/Fa.
As one of the authors who used the mt-tag for a story where every character is at least eighteen, I want to state in my defense: The Tag-definition did NOT say "This is for minors". It just said that "mt" stands for "male teenager". And, whether you like it or not, eighteen-year-olds ARE teenagers. Them ALSO being adults doesn't change that fact.
Then it will be easy for you to adjust the tag to correct it. Remember this change is not from Laz, but it is being forced on him.
And, whether you like it or not, eighteen-year-olds ARE teenagers. Them ALSO being adults doesn't change that fact.
I'm not arguing that they aren't. What I am arguing is that whether you like it or not, adult necessarily supersedes teenager.
adult necessarily supersedes teenager
And what I'm arguing is that, when you claimed @afrsed was "incorrect", I think you were wrong.
This has nothing to do with me liking it. You are a teenager until you turn twenty. Being an adult is based on the age of majority, which is a selective number that varies depending on which state/country you're in.
"Teenager" and "Adult" are two different things, and the definition the site gave did not state otherwise, nor did it support your claim in any way.
Now, I have seen Lazeez state that people like me "didn't know what the tag meant" and therefore used it incorrectly. But, again, our use of it was based on what the Tag-definition page claimed it to be about.
However, by now we are arguing semantics, and how to use tags that are no longer available, so... I guess it's all fine.
OK everybody, hold on tight. More changes to policy are coming but in a good way.
I'm in talks with the hosting company's legal department and I have a better plan that a purge.
It involves refinement to what is allowed. There wouldn't be a total ban on under 18.
Please be patient. Things are looking up.
