Number is also subject to change depending upon age verification. If they are minors, they're not merged, they're deleted. This will also apply in other areas where it turns out the member in question isn't so much what they were being reported as (i.e. troll), but actually underage. Something else to remember, is that this can affect an author's review board as well. When I delete a minor, for example, I also delete their reviews. Same for trolls, plagiarists, and etc. I delete ALL their content.

the Celeb category you list. btw, as this involves real people, you will end up having to name 'em in the disclaimer

The second is Lucifael. This person copy/pasted Unchained and Incubus here today. Ya know, if these authors chose to post these stories to this site, that's one thing. But, you DON'T add content that is not yours. This one's archive profile

Firstly, MANY thanks to the sharp eyed reader who caught this! The first victim is stargatesg1fan1. This person stole two of his stories, Beginning a New Path and Reflections Through Time. As one can see with the publication dates, these were obviously much older than today.

done. Some of the ANs in chapter mentioned were well under the 600 word limit, so left them. On the one referencing a possible flame war, found nothing to show that.

completed this set

deleted AN chapter

Prompt: vilipend Rules here Good luck and have fun!

Now that I have a pen name, was able to check further from staff end of things. Not something we did.

you're welcome!

WOOT!! In the inbox... In a sideways kind of way of way I'm thankful Chrome and Google does that though. I don't even want to THINK about what a mess I would've had, for data recovery and site crash issues had this not been seen.

I think Madlodger's on to something ya know. Betcha other sites which host this sort of content get hit over the next several days too

How to add exceptions to your browser In Firefox- From the menu, select Tools Select Options, then Security There is a button "exceptions" Click it, and add the url you want allowed. After you do this, you MUST clear your cache and close your browser, then restart it. Changes don't take effect until you do. In IE In the menu, select tools. Select Internet Options This brings up a pop up with tabs Click the security tab. Click the "trusted sites" green arrow. Add the url to the site you want to add Again, you must clear your cache, close your browser, and restart it for any changes to take effect. In Opera From the menu, select Settings, and then Preferences. Alternately, use Ctrl+F12 From the advanced tab, click security. Click trusted websites Add the url Clear cache, close browser, restart it In Safari, there is no real way to set exceptions. However, if you really wanted to, you can click the gear icon, select preferences, click security and uncheck "Warn when visiting fraudulent sites". I wouldn't necessarily do this, as it will leave the browser open to ANY site at all. Including ones that are truly infected. In Chrome Click the wrench icon Select Options Click "Under the Hood" Again, you could disable the phishing and malware service, but I wouldn't recommend it. Click "Content Settings" For cookies, click "manage exceptions" Add the url For Java, click "manage exceptions" Add the url When you're done, click "clear browsing data" Close the browser, and restart it. --- I put the above information up, because after further research, it can take a week or two to remove a site from Google's black list, no matter if it's clean and been tested.

As you can see, what I told you all earlier, is that there was a hack attempt. So, I did what I could my end, and Nexcess did everything I asked on their end.

ty Vin! much appreciated. Latest scans

I'm getting the same results from AVG, Norton and URLVoid as I have been, that the site is clean. All browsers I checked with, except Chrome are now loading without issue. The other browsers that loaded fine now are Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, and Opera. Chrome is now detecting the Java used in the archive menu as being malicious code, but that code hasn't been changed in years. The newest Java is in the RTE, and that is ALSO unchanged since it was added in February. It appears that we had someone try to hack in through the banner software in the early hours (for me) between roughly 2 am and 4 am EDT. So, to get around that, what I did was a fresh install, new database tables and a new user for the db for this particular software. I then deleted all the old stuff. This will hopefully fix it all. Last step, is waiting for Google to do a review. As they do it on PDT, I expect that won't happen until around 2 or 3 am my time.

Not a problem. I'm just waiting for Google to do a rescan so they remove the warning now.

30 minutes isn't so bad.... I've been working on straightening the mess out for ten solid hours now

...and... Someone tried to hack the banner software, which is what's doing this now. So I am doing a clean install of it, having the hosting company check again to be sure that nothing escaped, and then doing some stuff with Google webmaster tools. I do have users telling me Teatimer and Malwarebytes are finding nothing, and I know Kaspersky is finding nothing as I use it.

Looks like someone is trying to set this up via an unused subdirectory. I'm taking care of that now.

I'll have everything rechecked again, to be safe.
