Again, the majority of badfic being criticized, these days, is above NC-17. Just take a look at the old GAFF board. Easy solution around XXX difficulties would be to restrict GAFFers from posting anything about anything above the NC-17 rating. But, from what I have seen, GAFF would never support censorship of itself.
