Well, the poetry voting thread has been removed. So much for free speech.

Wouldn't it be simpler
To admit that all Lit voting is fraudulent, rather than erase every post that brings the subject up?

Shut the hell up. Like anybody cares about poetry. Poetry is for the person who wrote it, not for us pornhounds, misanthropes, and sluts.
What were you trying to do? Cheat?

What we have here is apparently a registered Lit member posting unregistered and bragging about the fact that they have been attempting to cheat the poetry voting system.
Further, they are angry or upset or something with us because we are, in their opinion, unable to block 100% of their cheating. That is to say, they are apparently so confused that they believe it is the police's fault when criminals commit crimes because the police should have stopped them. Or some such nonsense. It is apparently not the fault of crooks that they commit crimes.
I'm not sure if this is one of those "crying out to get caught" episodes that you see on CourTV, but this user may indeed have exposed who they are and their very specific down-voting of another member or members. At the same time, it appears that this member was voting their own stories up, possibly using several accounts.
Anyone who follows the long-running Literotica voting saga knows that we have removed fraudulent votes on several occasions in the past. What we have not been able to do, until now, is to make a link to a specific member. The question then becomes: What do we do when we are 80-90% sure that we have caught a cheater?
The bigger question, which I just asked in the Story Feedback forum, is Why? Why would one member fraudulently attack another member's submissions? It's not only unethical, but it takes a lot of effort... and to what end?
As far as the removed posts, I will continue to remove any posts that encourage or offer advice on attempting to manipulate the voting system. That policy is no secret. Further, we have always said that anyone caught cheating will be removed from the site along with all of their submissions. If you're admitting that you attempted to cheat, then you have little place to complain about having your posts removed given this long-standing policy.
Sometimes I swear that I'm living in a bad Kung Fu movie or video game. First, Laurel, you must overcome the Spammer and then you must win against the Stalker. Next, you will challenge the Cheater... and so on...

Can you imagine what the guy in the next cell is gonna do to ya when he finds out you're in for Poetry Fraud?
I think queer-bait extrodinaire (and prisoner of love) Lord Byron said it best:
I've seen your stormy seas and stormy women
And pity lovers rather more than semen.
