Backend misclassification event bug

This thread is going the way of all the others. Something is wrong but it devolves into arguing while the people responsible sit and laugh because they never have to answer to anything, their bootlicks just jack the thread and that's that.

As you can see there is no checklist and no reason why the stories that were in pending purgatory and posted live for months were sent back
Yes, there is: it says "This is better suited to our forum: http://forum.literotica.com/"

In between "However, we've found that we cannot post your submission in its current form. The checklist below may help you in re-examining your manuscript." and "Please feel free to re-submit the story after a Volunteer Editor has examined it, or after you've made revisions. You can find a list of Volunteer Editors here." is where you find the list of reasons!

Why on earth a chapter of a previously-published story should be 'better suited to our forum' is beyond me, assuming it's not a corrupted file that looks like less than 750 words, but that is a checklist with one 'reason', even if it's complete bollocks.

Has anyone else ever had that 'reason' for a story being rejected?

That caught my eye as well. It's never happened to me, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it discussed here before. Basically, if someone posts a short, maybe rambling muse on some fetish or other in the How To or Essay sections, it might get kicked for being better suited to a forum post.
Given the titles of SmilingLez's works, I'm guessing this doesn't really apply here and is a mistake.

(Yes I had seen it. Here - https://forum.literotica.com/threads/sigh-my-first-year-on-literotica.1623491/#post-100026923)
 
So many theories. Let's just face reality.

The only reality here is that the site owners never address these problems, so people are left to speculate and try to guess why it is happening to them.

There are so many threads with so many authors talking about how their stories are stuck in pending hell and yet not a single time has one of the owners came out and addressed it. The silence speaks volumes.
 
If you think they're still running the same version of MySQL on the same version of Linux on the same physical server that they stood up in the beginning, you should stick to "reading" picture books.
It's the same application, though.

Of course the underlying tech stack is going to receive appropriate upgrades over time, but that doesn't make the custom application any more stable.

If anything, they would make it less stable. Every upgrade of any single tech stack element is likely to introduce bugs into a custom app that runs on that stack.

An already-published one?

I mean, not me, no, but nor have I seen anyone in AH or TS saying it happened to them.

A publishing rejection? Yes, there have been people who said they tried publishing something which wasn't quite a "story," or wasn't even close to a story, and got rejected for that reason.
