Re: is anyone looking at usability and inclusiveness?

you are correct , I am thinking of a single click through, with a general warning. and I think by focusing on creating a customized user experience for every viewer you are making it much harder for people to participate. The amount of negative feedback I've received in the last few hours alone is not promising. I've been working hard to get other fans to start adding more content to Fanlore - new volunteers have a huge learning curve and adding a 4 part peer review test to upload a single image seems to be the opposite of encouraging greater diversity of content and participation.

Bottom line: you need a simpler policy, that is easier to understand and easier to apply. And more importantly, you need automated set of tools. And I mean automated - buttons that users can check that will apply the multiple codes to the image for the user.
