I took this one step further, as these all went back to the same deleted user, and searched the database for any OTHER data left behind when the deletion was not processed correctly in the first place.

Sure I can. It'll simply link to the content guidelines in the archive. In answer to your question, previews, placeholders, that sort of thing; are NOT allowed. AT ALL.

As I don't make categories out of hand, and they have to be requested, anyone can do that, ya know. That way, if the req is there, I won't forget to do it. We do have some rules about how to, and that's all the suggestions forum for the archive, as a pinned topic.

I've READ this one, and can't for the life of me remember either author or title. So, I asked someone else who might be able to point you in the right direction.

This applies where a user takes a snippet of a chapter, for example, and quotes it. Or, where a user uses song lyrics as part of the story itself. The original author still has to be credited, but this is done differently and SEPARATELY from the disclaimer, within the story chapter. Example of an inline citation (this is a paragraph quote). An inline citation is what would commonly be used for this, and song lyrics. Should an author use extensive source quotes, in that for instance, it would be FOOTNOTED at the end of the chapter. With a symbol following the quotation, and the same symbol with the source listed at the bottom of the page. ---- Formats that would be acceptable, for example (which aren't "by the book" citations): blurb of text from book/tv show/movie* another blurb of text/dialogue from book/tv show/movie* AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER *Some dialogue taken from (name the book/tv show's episode title/movie title

television is where it should go. Read this, and you'll see why

That's something I remember hearing alot on the radio, the 2000 year old man stuff. The problem is going to be determining its best fit.

That's ringing bells, but with a Spander twist rather than Spangel. I'll have to do some digging.

Because the ones who do this think they're doing nothing wrong at all. Of course, we all know that THEY are incorrect in their thinking, but there it is. As to why some people think it's perfectly fine to take someone else's stuff and pass it off as their own, that I haven't a clue on. Yes, doing it repeatedly is a bit much, isn't it?

There is nothing that tends to irritate me more than seeing something like THIS. Having had my work ripped in the past as well, I tend to get a bit irate just reading about this sort of thing. Hopefully the end result will be that the girlie who stole will not only lose the prize she earned via theft, but learn a valuable lesson from this about taking someone else's stuff and saying it's theirs and the repercussions that one faces as a result of doing such a thing. I doubt it though, as I've seen too many people who plagiarize and get caught, turn around and do it AGAIN. And then say it's an ACCIDENT. feh

you were probably in the anime subdomain, as the archive defaults to there.

Okay. Here's what you do. MAKE SURE you're in the subdomain you want to find fiction in. With that search term, it would be the naruto subdomain Input your search term in the box Select "summary", to search the story descriptions click search I did this search, and came up with MANY results. As I did not specify anything other than what you said, it brought up results for BDSM, summaries which contained "Naruto" and summaries which contained "Sakura"; as well as variants of Naruto and Sakura.

What exactly are you searching for, and what is the search term you're using? I use the search engine all the time, and don't generally have issues with it, other than it only brings up the first 200 closest matches.

You must make sure there are NO three letter words in your search term. That goes for any db search engine. It's too broad a search term and locks the database. As a result, ANY database search function, regardless of program, requires the search term or terms to consist of four or more characters.

I've deleted the old duplicate, which will make sure that the issue doesn't occur for you any longer.

It's a straightforward boolean database search. The search terms are not difficult to use. The PROBLEM with it, is this kind of search will only get you a max result of 200 matches, and is really not designed to work with such a large database. However, this is something being addressed, but not at this time. The only search that would be global, is looking for an author, and can be executed from anywhere. All other searches need to be done in the subdomain where you'd expect the data to be at. For example, if looking for specific anime title type fiction, you'd be in the anime subdomain before typing in your search term. Then, you have to be certain to select title, or story summary from the search drop down, or it will search by author name. If you're inputting a title, that means you will get no result.

You can change subdomains any number of ways. You can go direct to the movies subdomain using the dropdown menu (at the top), for example. Which puts you in that subdomain. Then, when you're in your author panel, all the menu options for adding and etc are what's available in that subdomain. Using the jump menu (whether in your profile at the top of it, or in the side menu in the user panel), you select the subdomain and press go. I was unable to duplicate the error where by using the jump menu, it reverted back to the anime subdomain. At the main page, the site index; where you have side menus both right and left, you can select your subdomain there as well, and you'll end up in the subdomain you wish to publish in.

Crossovers top level in hp subdomain

It's understandable to be a bit confused by the set up at times. With things split across so many subdomains, and things in flux as stuff is moved around, it can definitely get that way.

Read the following FAQ as well. Allowable Html How to Edit Page Draw Errors You see, even using Word or Open Office to export your document to an html file, there are still extra tags that the programs will put in to it. So there is some additional editing that needs to be done. To clean up the html, you open that file in notepad, as it's a text editor. DELETE OUT the tags and extras which the archive doesn't allow. Also, be very sure that all your tags have an opening tag and a closing tag. If you have a tag which isn't properly closed, for example, it can make your chapter look like much of it has disappeared. What happens is that the interpreter sees the improperly closed tag, and sees it as an end of FILE. So, the data is still there, it just won't display. Until you find the tag and close it. To center a paragraph, you simply enclose the text with these tags: <center> <---the opening tag </center> <---the closing tag. The text you wish to be centered needs to be between the open and close tag, and then it'll be centered. What happens with a Word export, is that it makes division formats, which the archive doesn't allow, as it can't interpret it.

LOL ok, nope, it has no effect on the software usage.

The only way it affects your posting, is in that you don't know what you can or cannot do. So, the links are easy to get to, and you definitely should read them. This will help prevent you from doing something which could cause your work to be hidden or deleted; or your account being deleted. So sure, in that way, by not knowing; it could easily affect site usage for you. Terms of Service Posting Guidelines
