This is a disclaimer issue, not a tech support issue

Being a work from the public domain, your disclaimer should be more like the one for original fiction, with a nod to the work you're basing it on. No need for profit statement.

The one that you copy/pasted is correct.

I found out why it was disabled at least. The old system for review notification did not work with the new member panel and user tools. The coder is still working that part out, so that it doesn't cause issues with everything else.

within the next couple of months. I'd have to check to get an exact date though

as the feature has been disabled temporarily for new stories, the FAQ was hidden for the time being.

@Pete You're all set now. You need to follow the instructions given above in the site announcement box. If you don't follow them exactly, the activation will not work.

I think the user is referencing the old links in the old profile. Those are currently read only, and left for when you're done transitioning from the old profile set up to the new one.

straight double posting, so dupe is deleted

merged

As I can tell by IP it's very likely YOU, LakotaGirl, I'll answer. What gets you banned for life is plagiarism. Cobblefic plagiarism to be exact.

Prompt: Pansy Please remember to follow the rules as outlined here. Happy Writing!

Due to the nature of the infraction, the deletion is permanent, as is the ban.

Here's six of 'em Keeping Secrets Xander/Spike/Anya

You're missing the point here. She was a CHILD when she posted them. That means I had to delete the content. I also had to delete the profile. I CANNOT leave underage posted material on the site. Unless you're volunteering to pay the legal bills that would occur because of that...and even then, I wouldn't do it. It's clearly stated that you must be 18 or OLDER. Not 18 or YOUNGER.

The databases are not linked at all. The member file setups in each program is vastly different, so there is no real way to bridge one application to the other for registration.

The search function itself is being completely rewritten as well. Currently, it is a simply sql search. It's not capable of properly searching the archive as it sits. We do have the search engine in place to be able to search better, the search function, however, has to be written to USE that engine.

She was deleted for registering when she was SIXTEEN YEARS OLD. She KNEW that was the risk she took at time of registration. All of them do, unless they're stupid, which these kids really are not. It's very clearly stated in the ToS that you must be 18 years of age or older. There are splash pages in each subdomain which clearly state you must EIGHTEEN or older. Not SIXTEEN. The stories were all posted BEFORE her 18th birthday, not after. Because they were posted before she was 18, WE are legally obligated to remove all her data from the site that was posted before then. PERIOD. It's irrelevant what age she is now. What's relevant is what she was at REGISTRATION and time of posting. NOWHERE was this user ever told she could not create another account, since she is now of age. NOWHERE was this user ever told she could not repost her work. On that note, the reason she's not created another account, and done exactly that, is that she was careless with her data. THIS IS NOT A DATA REPOSITORY FOR BACK UP PURPOSES. Backing up one's data OFFSITE is the user's responsibility, not the site's. WE DO NOT KEEP COPIES OF IT FOR BACKUP PURPOSES FOR INDIVIDUALS. Am I yelling a bit in my response? You bet I am. You know WHY? Everything that I explained AGAIN in this post, has been explained previously, several times over. Both here and in email with the user. That people are choosing to not understand plain English, is not my problem. Further, I will not allow this argument as to whether or not this action should have been taken to continue. Users under 18 have NEVER been allowed on the site. The fact that many of 'em slipped under the radar for so many years, is a staff failure, yes. However, it is not THIS staff's failure. WE are in the process of cleaning up 3 1/2 years of no moderation of any kind. Particularly under age users. To date, I've processed 2600 old minor accounts. Those are registrations prior to December 2008, by the way. If you look at what we do on that basis, listed here and here, you'll understand a bit more. If you read those links and still choose to not understand why, it will be because you want to argue.

crap. I forgot to add the new one Sunday. We'll go ahead and leave this open then until this upcoming Sunday, and then I'll add the new prompt

It's fixed. Nope, where you post doesn't matter, lol. Click this link to resend the activation mail.

Until people learn how to read and actually do what is needed to get an account deleted, to prove that you are the requestor, I will no longer accept deletion requests via the forum.

hahaha, yes, the Evil Feline Overlords rule at my house too ^^

This type of TOS violation which could harm the site greatly, we do NOT notify the user before deletion.
