Yeah. More or less the forced stagnation of language or at least steps towards it. I imagine the results would be like what happens when you try to stop natural functions of the body: it all blows up.
FF.N was avoiding being sued for the most part. Thus the crack down on NC-17 as not to upset parnets of childern visting the site, and on RPF since that's a very gray area, etc.
The MiSTing issue was a different problem. Some idiot named Daughter of Darkness claimed she caused the ban by complaining about the MiSTings, but honestly, no one really knows for sure what happened. The fear of being sued by fanficcers is really silly.
