First, let me apologize for the tardiness in posting this. That is completely our fault, and we hope no one was offended by it.
Now, having read through your comments in our last post on ableism, here is what's been decided. Ableism will be treated like every other warning; it will be required for both prompters and fillers to include a warning for ableist language, thoughts, and actions. We know that there is ambiguity when it comes to this (and it's not unique to this warning alone), but we trust that members will try to make appropriate decisions on when a warning is necessary. All we ask is that everyone be prepared to repost a prompt or a fill with a warning if asked by a mod (again, like for all other warnings). Prompters and writers, if you make the mistake of not including a warning, repost your prompt/fill and let us know by making a comment at the Ask A Mod page. The same goes for readers who spot a comment that they think needs a warning.
We made a mistake in including walking!AUs in the last post as examples of ableism, and we apologize for that. Those do not have to include a warning, though a note letting readers know that Charles can walk would be recommended as a courtesy.
Please, if you have any doubt or need help determining whether your prompt/fill needs a warning, ask and we'll be happy to help. And a reminder: all warnings should be posted in the subject line of your comment.
Finally, we welcome all opinions on this. But community rules still stand and comments attacking other members or the mods will not be allowed.
