I'd probably have no issue with that happening to me--especially since it'd be an honest mistake--as long as they had some sort of warning system in place instead of twitchy trigger fingers.
Also, the thing with the Pit and mature content is weird, because they've always wanted light smut in the mature section, but anything heavier than that goes over to AFF? Do they know how difficult it is to tell between light smut and heavy smut a lot of the time? Obviously there's a clear differentiation between the two on the far ends of the spectrum, but there's a lot out there that isn't that clear cut. I don't see the point of AFF, especially because I've seen fics from FF.Net crossposted to AFF with one single edit, and...yeah. I have some that played it on the safe side and completely edited out their sex scenes--but then they weren't really mature anymore, so what was the point? By then it was basically serving as a warning for edited-out sex scenes, and nothing else.
I'm not too worried about my stuff getting the ax, because I'm pretty sure it all falls within the guidelines, and if not I either have a copy or its one of the older stories that I don't really care about and have essentially abandoned because I've been out of fandom for too long.
Anyways, its good to hear that you managed to get your fic and reviews back, especially since they're probably absolutely swamped in emails down there now. Hopefully they've learned that warning systems or some sort of built-in expletive censor/filter is better than simply hitting the kill switch and poking the wasp nest that hangs over the Pit.

That's what I figured, I think the reinstating only happened because the internet basically imploded in outrage.
Don't even get me started on the prudish ratings. I just can't. Too silly.
I am glad everything worked out in the end, but damn. Insanity. As of today, thanks to an invite to from Boshums, I am backing everything up at A03.
But still...SHEESH.
