{{policy shortcut|ATT:AF|ATT:ACAFREE}}
To support free exchange of ideas in our literary criticism, we have a policy of '''Academic Freedom'''. In terms of our site, this means that editors may discuss any topic in the course of criticism of creative works. The site administration [[ATT:Policy for Wiki Staff|will not censor]] for politics, prudery or prejudice. [[Alliteration|Period]]. (However, we do still have to abide by the laws of the United States of America and the Netherlands, where the wiki's hosting hardware is located.)
 
This is not ''carte blanche'' to write literally anything on the site. If it's not on the topic of creative works, it never belonged on the site in the first place. And a long gushing praise of your favorite [[anime]] is not the same thing as thoughtful analysis. Lurid details are not banned ''per se'', but they may or may not be relevant.
