Almost every story EVER has an "incident" in it. That's like if you suggested a "conflict" category. If a story didn't have conflict, it basically wouldn't be a story. Would you really like to read a story about how a guy goes to the store, fills up on gas and gets home with no problems?

When we have an "incident" category, people that don't understand the specifics of it are going to abuse because almost literally any kind of happening in a story could be misinterpreted as an "incident." Not too long ago we had at least two categories, "People" and "Shock Endings", that were deleted because there were too many users who were abusing/overusing them (A-Lord-Over-Birds and I had an interesting conversation about the rampant overuse of the "Shock Ending" label on a past thread). This is why we can't have anything nice...
