She’s not worthy enough to do that.
Even 2021, when Millie published here, is a couple of years before the site's problem with AI content. That's a shit listing from Stacnash, for sure. As for the confirmed/unconfirmed ToS "breaches", by definition those are bullshit too, if the stories are still available on the site.
You can only find private lists by going to the lister's Profile Page. Many readers (and authors) keep lists, but you have to know they are there - they're not "public" in the same way contest and anthology lists are.

I noticed when it comes through as a "favourite" on my story. Some people get a comment, but I did not.
You do realise you're actively promoting her now, rather than make the curious few do the work? This runs contra to your post up above, about harming an author's reputation.
The description on her list in awkward's screen shot says these are authors who have said they have used AI, or been assessed to have likely done so. So it doesn't sound like she's claiming the particular story was AI, so much as that the author has said they, or been accused of, using AI. So, maybe you mentioned using grammarly or a spell checker or something in some forum post and she's basing it off that. Dumb.
Yeah I didn't mean to suggest there was any merit to it.
If she's commented on a story, you'd know. They're always extensive - several hundreds of words, and there's a percentage score at the end.
Yes, there is that risk (I’m on her one star list so I have skin in the game). On the other hand, I don’t think that her behaviour can be ignored either, because of the way that she targets, demeans, and discourages individuals.
They like to be talked about. Don't give them what they like.
She popped me on her "unconfirmed TOS violations" list because the site confirmed my story broke neither the ToS nor the content guidelines. She waited until she had confirmation I hadn't broken any rules prior to putting me on there.
This is why I wanted a comment from her. I wanted to laugh at it (not at the one star part, the writing itself is atrocious for reasons of my own. Amongst my friends I've mocked my story and it's inexplicably high rating more times than she ever could). I was pretty sure she'd make a false accusation, which I guess she probably would have, if she'd commented.
Have fun. And don't go over 88 miles per hour!
Fair - but does that mean that bad behaviour should always be ignored? It certainly shouldn't be rewarded - I accept that.
As good ol' KeithD/Pilot used to go on about, vigilante commentators with their private agendas... It's up to authors to figure out their own responses to such commentary. The latest list groupings are over the top, though, that's for sure. Deliberate inflammatory? Possibly, probably. Sigh.
As I said earlier, I don't think there's a 'should'. It's up to each of us how we respond to bad behaviour. The main reason that I have been loud about her is that I believe that collective action (or discussion) is a legitimate response to bullies, and in the context of somebody copping abuse or having accusations made (as in the context of this thread), it's important to acknowledge that as a collective rather than people thinking that they're alone in being told that they are terrible writers with no potential.
