fandom_scruples it's like a trainwreck for me.
But then I did find the most recent post .
It says in part:
We're not attempting to harass anyone.
And then a few paragraphs down:
It has also come to our attention that a few of the writers mentioned are key organizing staff for Nimbus 2005 (which we won't link to) and we are calling for a boycott of that conference unless they make a reasonable attempt to keep their adult material away from underage readers. We don't think this is an unreasonable request.
Several fics found at FictionAlley we believe have crossed over the R rating (which many feel is inappropriate for a site that allows 13 year olds to register at) and we are currently in the process of compiling a letter of complaint to send to heidi8. Because she may not be aware of these fics, we have left her off the list for now.
Which sounds like harassment to me.

The way they are going about asking the authors is to have other people nominate them to be black listed. People can also nomninate others to be gold listed (the "good" authors).
In the post that I linked to and quoted from the people behind this (who have remained anonymous) want a con to be boycotted because the people involved write NC-17 fic and it's going to be allowed at the convention.
There have been a suggestion that people who link to explicit stories be put on the blacklist.
That's what bothers me.
