Because let's face it, some fantasize about taking their victims unwillingly and then turning that victim in a partner. If any part of the story is NC, then the writer owes it to others to check that box.

I've noticed different writers have different views on what the codes stand for. I mean what consensual is can be a matter of opinion I guess. That's why lawyers are paid so well.

Depending on the story I could see someone ending up with lots of conflicting story codes.
I mean I've come up with a story that coded out as

M/f M+/f F/f m-self f-self bestiality exhibition modification spanking voyeurism BDSM bondage real ScFi spoof romantic consensual reluctant humiliation torture Serious

The " real, ScFi, spoof and serious are all true but I suppose they might seem to conflict.
If the stories complex enough I bet you could cover quite a few more story codes but would it really be that helpful for the potential reader?

I sometimes wonder if it might be better to have an independent entity ( say a Jinn or other Genie type) code out the stories so their was some consistency.

Then again that seems like a lot of work for a free and easy site.

My personal pet peeve is Fantasy stories that are labeled Scfi but that's the only code available
