sr71plt said:It's probably wasted breath to talk about going through a process of stripping substandard stories off this Web site. I know a writer here who has been desperately trying for over a week now to have some old stories he feels were posted much too underbaked deleted from the site--and guess, what? Surprise, surprise. No response.
Identifying, let alone stripping, stories the author him/herself hasn't requested to have deleted is obviously something lightyears away from the capacities/willingness/interest of the site folks.

Who me? I ain't got a smug bone in my body. I'm just pointing out the obvious or is that oblivious.....sweetsubsarahh said:Now, TX, you're being smug.
Tsk.

sr71plt said:"I couldn't possibly know the "various circumstances to which they haven't answered" you."
Why sure you could, Sweetsubsarahh. You could have actually read the thread you were posting to. I laid the various circumstances out in posting #20--and I also mentioned two problems (one mine; one another writer's) in the very post you were responding to so "I'm special" smugly. Actually reading what you are responding to--what a novel idea. It's easier to knee-jerk brown nose, of course--and just to jump to the assumption that I didn't have legitimate issues to discuss with the moderators (or that I was shouting about it simply because I have the audacity to care about how my stories are treated here).
"Removing a story is a simple task... resubmit the story with word delete added to the story title or as a note in the comments section..... There is no need to PM, e-mail, write, or phone anyone."
Ah, thanks, TxRad. An actual civil, helpful response. I didn't know that--I'll pass that on to the author who contacted me on that. He seemed desperate. And it was just too amusing to read here the possibility that the moderators would/could pull off (or even identify) substandard stories involuntarily when I'd just heard from an author who was pulling his hair out at not being able to get them to pull a few of his own stories he no longer felt were up to the site standard.
I thought Cloudy's "we could PM Laurel" one-liner was highly amusing, incidentally.

sr71plt said:"As to the other, you were such a jerk to me from the first post I couldn't be arsed to read the thread - what would it matter?"
Umm, you have a little chronological problem. Your post #107, responding to someone else's #106, questioned my veracity--and I said nothing directly to you before this--none of which had anything to do with you actually reading the thread before making sweeping assumptions and allegations on the thread.
But as you said you revel in smugness and being oh so helpful . . . we'll obviously let you be you.
sr71plt said:#106 Scribbled mentioning me by name as not getting responses
#107 you smugly saying you always get responses. Why post that at all if you weren't doubting my word--unless just to revel in being superior in treatment here?
And, no, Scribbled is not my alt. I only posted at all on the forum--after getting slapped down by one of you smug forum yakkers a year ago for asking a simple question--because someone else was asking a simple, "I'm confused" question on this thread and was, typically, getting slapped down by you smug forum yakkers.
I've been too busy feeding stories into the centerpiece of the Web site.

What are people's experience with this?
the_scribbler said:I'm kind of confused here myself. I don't profess to be much of a writer and I don't mean to belittle anyone else's contributions, but I've read (or rather tried to read) some stories on his site with atrocious spelling, grammar and punctuation. How is it that they have been published when it seems that some have been rejected for lengthy paragraphs?
