How long does it take for literotica to take down poetry submitted?

[darthjser]

Hi everyone,

I made several requests for literotica through their online submission form and email to take down my submissions but am being ignored.

One of my emails to them was sent last week.

I read in the FAQ's that we authors retain the copyright and am disturbed that my request are not being followed. Any input?

Thanks!

Hm. I never had any problem removing a submission. Usually took the same time getting it down as getting it up.

Send a pm to Laurel with the name of the poem you want deleted. She'll take it down from your submissions page for you.

You're probably not making the request in a way that works. Remember that the site editors are wading through tons of stuff. Try the methods suggested here or what Angie said.

My own experience is it might take a few days. Probably not as high priority for them as adding new things, but three, maybe four days should be enough.

Note: I personally had zero success PMing Laurel, but the DELETE method I suggest in the other thread worked fine.

Well, I'm glad you explained your way of doing it then. Laurel always has responded to me though it may take 3-4 days like you said. I haven't taken poems down many times, but I started doing it before I was a mod. Maybe she's busier now.

I only tried the PM thing once and I may have been too vague, or something. She's busy, so provided I found a method that worked, it didn't much matter to me how I went about it.

What's with that AV, by the way? You look like The Hot Secretary in Grand Theft Auto IV.

She's my SL avie. She is looking a wee bit retro in this pic. I heard you might give SL a try. Let me know if you need help because trust me you will at first!

I've tried the SL thing and came away confused and bored and not too ready to give it another go. Maybe once I readjust to the desk top. Bleh.

I'm pretty busy at the mo anyway... (wearing a cardiac event monitor and absorbing some tough news) It's all good though. We're breathing, smiling and moving on, what more can we ask of the fates?

 

[darthjser]

Thank you everyone for all the input!

What's SL ...... nosy I know!

What's SL ...... nosy I know!

Second Life ... the virtual world that more and more invades the real world through integrating its virtual interactions with commerce, education and artistic communities exploring instantaneous global communications ... (in other words, an online social network that uses avatars and screen graphics in place of video).

 

[UnderYourSpell]

I think I belonged to something similar before but it kept wanting me to be there and do things by a certain time and I got thoroughly peeved off with it and left. I've been asked to join something called Spymaster but if that's a bother too doubt whether I will . I don't like to be pressured when I do things they get done in my own time or not at all!

Be well, girlie. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Champ got it right. It's a social networking site that uses on-screen graphics. Everyone who joins gets an avatar and so participates not just with their words, but also with the actions of their avatar as it explores the Sims-like worlds people have built there. It's very difficult at first to get the hang of it. Most people drop out of it before they even get off something called "Welcome Island" because they don't know how to move or where to go, etc. It's really necessary to have someone experienced in SL to guide you through your first times there. Also, the video/graphics demand on one's computer are heavy, and not everyone has the computer capability to be there for more than a few minutes without crashing. But, most important for our purposes here, there are many active poetry and literature (and arts) communities there and, like here, it's a place where you can be around others who share your intersts.

Oh but mostly it's a hook-up site (like all internet communities are), and most people love it because their little avatars can do all kinds of perveted things. It's really sort of the ultimate safe sex lol. But me, I like it for the artistic opportunities.

And my offer stands that if anyone wants to check it out and needs help, let me know. I'll meet you there and get you started.

PS Sorry for the thread hijack, darthjser. I'm glad you got the info you needed.

Hmmm...maybe I'll give it another go one of these days. I can barely seem to come up with the time or attention or effort to hang out online in places I've already gained a vested interest in being.

In some ways I'm amazingly backward in computer culture.
Not much on computer games. I play (its been a while now) bridge and chess, but both are more enjoyable with people. I do remember playing a game on occasion a long time ago, some sort of adventure game. Just running on an alpha terminal, likely on a Vax. Still do a lot of work using terminals, rather than GUI apps and continue to write CLI programs (most recently my meter program) as the need arises. Often use text editor, rather than word processor, especially one I can program (Emacs, before that EVE). Just need to compute info from that 1.5 G image.

I must tell you that I have no idea what you mean in three-quarters of this post. I know very little about how computers work (really, just ask Eve lol). I can usually remember what to do but almost never why. And I am not one for computer games either. I love Scrabble and sometimes poker. Oh and Trivial Pursuit. I like all of these enough to play them online, but computer role play games bore me to tears.

Second Life is so unpredictable and the other players you meet are from all over the world. Some people there take it very seriously--it really is their second life--and it's kinda scary to me when I see them. There are also many disabled people who play. I read an interesting interview with a woman who is wheelchair-bound who said "I can ski now. I can dance every night" and so on. And I guess it's more than a game to me, too. It is--like Lit--a verrrry interesting social phenomenon, maybe moreso because the avatars and the ability to "live" there provide even more escapism than Lit. That fascinates me. And it has poets. I like that part best.

I might want to go there some (when I have more time)

Well I am glad you said that about not understanding the post because it might as well be Esperanto as far as I am concerned!
