First of all, we show you registered where you at BEST 15 years old at the time. Given a comment you made in a previous email, you will need to provide proof of age as instructed. Secondly, once the records are removed from the database, they are unrecoverable. If this site was html driven and not database driven, recovery might be a possibility. As the site is database driven, it is not. What was your user name previously? I may be mistaking you for another user (also underage). However, in either case, the user was 15 at best at time of registration, with no work being posted after the 18th birthday.

The thing you are not considering is that there are many authors who will have a WIP for years. There are some who may only update once a year, if that. Others who go a couple years without an update. You have no idea if perhaps they've lost their inspiration for the story, lost interest in the fandom, or what. Because a story is unfinished, doesn't give someone else the right to pick it up and continue it without permission. As to us not allowing others to abuse our users in that fashion, if you have a problem with it, don't come to the site. It's that simple.

The Lemon Games was removed because the author was UNDERAGE AT TIME OF POSTING. This site clearly states the users must be 18 years of age and OLDER. Not YOUNGER. Whether or not an author chooses to repost work after it's been deleted for that reason , is entirely up to the author, provided he or she is 18 years of age or older when they do this. There is no room for negotiation or wiggle room on this one. As to the story adoption, that's an EASY process. As stated above, we get reports years after the fact. That's right YEARS. When the author in question cannot provide the proof, or we can't find it, the story has to go, as unauthorized continuations, adoptions and sequels are in fact plagiarism. Most authors when approached will give a VERY clear answer to this, of yes or no when approached (whether by us after the fact, or the user who intends to do this). Sorry, if the author of the original work that's been 'adopted' without permission says no, that means no. It doesn't mean maybe, or "I'll think about it". That's simple enough, yes?

In point of fact, it was not a staff member who deleted the story, but the user.

review notifications are sent, that's how the program is set to work.

For which program? If you're looking to search the forum, you use the search box below the login/user names. If you're looking to search the archive, instructions are here

Yes, the author has that published, so she would have removed it prior to publication

I'll get to this one when we get to hp for clean up. In the mean time, the author is active, and the fix is easy enough on the author end. She simply needs to open/edit and then resave. That'll kill the code.

Considering that by replacing you'll also upgrade, I think that's likely the better option. Asus makes good motherboards, no experience with their laptops, however. I'm saying you'll upgrade because you probably have at best a dual core, yes? Quadcores are now running roughly 400-600, loaded with Win 7, which in and of itself is a definite upgrade from Vista

The script in the rich text editor uses current java. It sounds like something may have updated which is why your computer was restarting.

The only thing I saw in chapter 5 which may be the root of it, is the image linking throughout the chapter. I deleted all of that. Image linking is not supported for anything except the user's avatar. That, and the link directed to your local hard drive, so I expect what happened is that the script was looking for the image to link to and couldn't find it. Try it now.

Tools>Options>Content make sure java is checked click advanced (for java) make sure the 3 options showing are checked Once you do these things, you do need to close and restart your browser. With the changes they keep making to Firefox, you may even need to restart your machine.

Yes, to correct the blanked password, one would reset it again.

I'm not seeing anything in the chapter record itself that would interfere. The only thing I can think of is perhaps adjusting your 3rd party script allowances, and checking to make sure your java is up to date.

We would allow it where there were LIMITED excerpts properly cited. However, with what I've seen of these so far, many of them we wouldn't simply because they're predominantly the book itself and very little original writing. A sentence here and there with the character reading from the book, with the bulk of the story being the book "read from", is still a form of plagiarism.

Hi there, The account itself still exists here. The stories deleted were all published before 8-13-08.

oh do I understand crazy weeks...just came off one myself

The center login boxes HAVE to be used for activation and registration. For general use, you should logout then back in using the boxes located in the upper right corner. If this profile is yours, I already show you as updated. If you're trying to login with an email address other than the yahoo address you registered with, that would also give you the error of not being registered.

you're welcome!

all merged

aw man, sorry to hear about all that. It's been a tough, tough year for many of us, so... understandable when RL takes over..
