When you've done the challenge, you select challengefic from the tags so people know it's a challenge response. You can then link to this topic in your story, as well as reply to this topic with your story link.

Archive profile When oh when will these people ever learn?? original story stolen version original story stolen version original story stolen version publication dates original author published this elsewhere in 2010 -- Originals were published in 2009 and 2006 elsewhere -- from the plagiarist's FFN account So, not only did this person steal and post here, they've posted at at least one other site we know of. Needless to say, this one is banned for life.

As I explained before, the files that google is seeing on AFF itself as being suspicious, are actually the banner invocation code, which is unmodified from the time it was added to the site. The problem right now is the black list and being ON the black list. As I've submitted AFF for review for removal, until we get removed from it, that page will continue to display.

The site is still showing as tested clean by StopTheHacker. I've submitted it for review to Google to get us removed from the blacklist. As this can take time, I ask that you be patient. In the meantime, yes, you will see warnings because we're on the blacklist. It's irrelevant to them that the site is actually safe. That's something they'll determine themselves. The thing is, what they're calling "suspicious code" is the banner invocation script. It's exactly as it's supposed to be, no changes at all.

The service I subscribed the site to continues to show us as tested clean. Here are some links which will tell you about the service Infoworld PCMag an article from Yahoo!Finance TechCrunch

...and from the service

I'm in the process of fixing all of this. I've subscribed the site to a service which specifically kills these kinds of intrusions. As we've had 3 subdomains listed within the last 2 days, I expected the rest of the site to start being listed as well. It's going to take up to 24 hours for the scan and possible repairs to be done, as well as removal from the google blacklist as an attack site. Mind you, this is what the google diagnostics page says That tells me there's actually nothing there, but that the domain itself will be listed like this until the steps I have in progress are finished.

...and an update. Now, the warning is showing up. However, it's only showing up for the final fantasy subdomain. Kaspersky safe browsing is kicking up nothing at all in that subdomain. I even used the google link to test, and this is what it says. Pay close attention to the highlights please I will keep searching and see what I can find so I can fix it. But I have to FIND it first. In the meantime, it's late and I have work in the morning. So, I won't be looking until after work tomorrow.

I merged everything over to this profile. You should be able to login now

I have gone through each and every ad insert in the database. I have gone through the file directories looking for anything at all suspicious or newly added I've also limited access to the ad program itself, to where it's only accessible to users when I give access. To satisfy everyone, I have done this again, just now. I'm still finding absolutely nothing at all. Yes, I am aware that OpenX had vulnerabilities in the past. I've not heard anything as of yet regarding the latest version. However, that doesn't mean the vulnerabilities aren't still there. BECAUSE we went through this before where we had an insert of malicious code via a robot hack in this program, if anyone says anything, I check.

Temp files are cookies, flash files which will download partially to a computer to run, ActiveX controls, and a host of other things besides. I'm not saying that your antivirus didn't find anything. What I AM saying though, is that it's possible you had a tab open to a different site which had the actual infection, or the file itself picked something to spoof from your own history. Looking further in to the software being used, I'm seeing reviews saying that for phishing/malware it doesn't work as well as it should. This is actually COMMON in antivirus software, which is why you'll often see people installing something in addition to the AV software to run scans solely to eliminate phishing/malware. If it was here, as I said, we would have been notified by the webmaster tools from google itself. Chrome would've kicked and not allowed acces at ALL. This link will give you the google diagnostics information.

You were emailed on the following dates regarding this: 2-18-13 5:24 am 2-18-13 4:04 pm 2-20-13 5:27 am In response to the emails sent, you posted an AN chapter 2-21 Specifically, this is the section which caused the initial email to you, from chapter 4 forwards I'll keep updating as long as y'all keep reviewing is the sentence which needs removed entirely. The AN chapter consisted of this This was the "correction" posted 2-22 You were sent another mail in response 2-22-13 at 5:51 pm Every email sent to you regarding this, in response to what you sent, can easily be resent if needed. As it's entirely too early and I've just woken up, I haven't even checked the story yet to see if these issues have been corrected. I'm simply answering your question posted in topic

Looking at that path, that's something on your machine LOCAL to you.

I just checked each and every subdomain with Firefox 13.x. I use Kaspersky, and it kicked nothing at all. I also have a code embedded in all index pages, for google indexing. It's tied in to the virus warnings from google as well in the webmaster tools, and I've received nothing there either.

I checked with Safari, Chrome, IE and Firefox, no issues

the other thing it could be is the case you're using to enter the password. The field for input is case sensitive.

She's not being picked on. She is expected to abide by the same rules and guidelines every other user complies with. That you and others see the need for me or any other staff member to treat her with special exceptions that are not warranted, is unreasonable. She is perfectly well aware of what she has to do to get the story unhidden.

BWP and Avatrek are the same person

What the hell was the explosion of list fics about anyway? sheesh. deleted

JennMarie was emailed as to the nature of the infraction. It is up to her to correct it. I will not, nor should any of you EXPECT me or any other staff member, treat her differently than any other author when it comes to how site rules are enforced. As to why the story was deleted multiple times before, it was due to the author being underage at the time of posting. With the reactions I see from her readers, I expect that we'll find many of you to have been either underage at time of registration, or currently underage. If that's the case, many of you will find yourselves deleted as this is an 18 and over site. Call that ridiculous if you like, but I will NOT endanger this site by allowing minors free reign.
