Relaxed category/content guidelines?

[Laurel]

If you read a story and feel that it has been miscategorized, click the REPORT symbol on the story. Check the OTHER box, then tell us what category it should be in and (if necessary) why.

We receive and respond to these reports regularly. For example, today someone reported a story with the reason:

"This is in the wrong category. It should be in Gay Male, not First Time."

I checked, and they were completely right. I changed the story category to Gay Male.

We try very hard to get stories posted in a timely manner. This means that we do skim most of the time. It's not possible for us to read every word of all 100+ daily submissions. Our eyes/brains get tired. We miss things occasionally.

If you come across stories which you feel are not in the right category, please do report them. Sometimes we don't agree with the report, but we always read and check them.

Whats up with the WE business? You got a rat in your pocket? A kitty? Or cooties?

She's also talking on behalf of the other moderators, numbnuts.

I had no idea moderators helped out with the story assessments. When did that start?

Aha! Kittys! I knew it!

Kitty has high blood pressure and must now take a pill every day. Over the last month, we've become something of a pro at getting said pill down Kitty's throat with minimal fuss - or so we'd thought. Apparently, Kitty's new trick is to make Mama think Kitty has swallowed the pill, then spit the pill neatly beside the food dish.

But Kitty needs to realize that blood pressure pills are not optional. So after a ten-minute wrestling match, pill is finally down Kitty's throat. And we now know that Kitty's pill must be followed by a fingerful of Kitty's wet food to insure it goes down for reals.

As you'd expect, Kitty was not happy. He is sulking in his hidey place. So my pockets are now kitty-less.

This was mentioned earlier in the thread...

And while I know Laurel works her pretty little ass off to make the reading material enjoyable, there will be mistakes made...

That being said...

You get what you pay for.

So how much has anyone paid to read stories here?

So...Laurel could start charging to read stories, then hire a bunch of college English Major kids to edit and read and publish the stories, but that would not be acceptable to...anyone. Fallout would be the authors would now want a royalty payment and that would be a complete headache.

So, to keep reading for free, I personally, will put up with the odd wrong categorization and the occasional bad grammar or misspelling. Like Laurel said, there is a handy dandy button for reporting things about stories you find in the wrong category or that violates the site rules.

Thanks Laurel, and Manu too, for a site that lets us get our kink on.

Yeah, yeah, I know...suck up.

You know, you wouldn't have everyone questioning your ability if you were diplomatic. People can have an opinion you disagree with, but that doesn't make them bad people deserving scorn. They are not "crazies", they feel genuinely aggrieved that Literotica's categorisation convention is being carelessly flouted.

I agree that mis-categorisation is not a problem that needs to be addressed. Unfortunately this argument is being lumped in with your dismissive snarky abuse. So instead of stating the argument for your case, you cause one. Sigh. I don't think you realise your casual abuse is sacrificing your credibility: you are polluting your valid arguments with your toxic reputation. Of all the places, please don't come here to insult anyone or anything. It's bad for everyone, yourself included.

Of the two of us, I'm pretty sure I'm the only who has actually functioned as a diplomat and held a diplomatic passport. In diplomacy, we converse as adults. I do the same here on the forum--and did so here in the context of this being an adult site where everyone can jolly well take responsibility for themselves and not require babysitters. I also don't spend a whole lot of time worrying about what other posters are doing and ragging on them. You might try that.

Dear Reader

I buy every one of his ^^^^^ records. Before he became a diplomat he was backup singer for Walter Brennan.

I realize your mind isn't big enough to wrap itself around to the world being bigger than you.

(There are those on the forum who know what I know about this. Don't care if you and JBJ don't.)

You're joking right? This site is your whole world. You think you're the shiny white turd floating in an otherwise black cesspool. Get over yourself already old man.

Your insecurity is showing, again, Rumsfeld.

You are not better than me because of your "experience", and I am not "unworthy" because I have not laid claim to my life experience. You can believe me when I say I don't a give a sh!t who you are... which is kind of my point.

If you stopped trying to establish your superiority by putting down others, then every thread you deign to visit wouldn't descend into pettiness. Show some respect.

Laurel speaks on behalf of the website, hence the "we". Manu does the same too. Just go and read anything they post explaining the rules or site announcement.

(Looks like that's another one of those schmuck alt to litter this place. )

We are Legion.

This.

Well, thanks for everything that the website does, ranging from the free membership to the maintainance of this great place. Y'all rock!

 

[robertreams]

Dalton, I will say it again. You are a liar! Twisting and distorting statements and facts is lying. So is choosing only those facts which seem to prove your point, in case you didn't have the same ethical upbringing I did. I made no reference to any individual author in my post. I suggested a few corrections for an author who asked for them. The remainder of my conversation was about several writers, unnamed and anonymous, who have a tendency to join full sentences with the word "and". You do pretty well at what you don't say. Someone else suggested that the writer, whom I still will not name, read a basic book on proper sentence structure, then I suggested the book. (for BASIC sentence structure) Then you went off the deep end about destroying creativity and dashing the hopes of promising, etc etc, etc. basically tooting your own horn and offering no constructive advice of any kind.

At any rate it is now time for you to shut the hell up about it, mind your own business, and stop dissing me.

I glad they don't speak in 3rd person like Bob Dole or read minds like you, Limpy Wimpy.

When my boys were young enough, if a dick had popped up from a book, they would have said, "Look dad, a penis." Then they might have giggled, but they would not have died from it. As they say down south: "All y'all settle down now, hear."
