Yeah, I think the wank was mainly a result of people getting confused over what was allowed and then it all spiralled, so being as clear as possible seemed best.
We have "Essentially either CANON us, or SLASH away <3" in the profile, and "Steve and Tony are one of your main pairings or at least very prominent characters," which certainly seems to allow for gen fic and background canon pairings - I don't really ship them with anyone but each other, but I'd be very sad to miss out on an awesome friendship/bonding fic just because Tony goes on some dates with Rumiko in the background. I mean, obviously the canon ship shouldn't be the focus of the fic, but I'd like to think most of us here love them even when it's just bromance and not romance. :)
