one of the perks of my position is that i can suspend or ban accounts at whim. don't push it, girlie.
I'm sorry but...
The original post on this thread was completely inappropriate and should have been deleted immediately. If added nothing to the general guidance of story submission criteria and was merely a 'Moderator' venting their spleen after a difficult day, not for the first time.
But, we've all had them (difficult days that is).
However, the thread hardly qualifies as a 'Site Announcement'. It is also completely pointless and worthless as the only people reading and commenting on it are long standing and highly accomplished authors who if they chose to capitalise or use extended vowel and constanant sounds as part of a story would do so with a clear understanding of what they were trying to achieve.
I for one am always truly appreciative of the efforts that Story Moderators make in checking our stories. Without them there would be no site, but to have a Moderator threaten to ban an author 'at whim' simply is unacceptable.
A little while ago a 'Moderator' told me in a PM that if there were issues those were best resolved by a private message/conversation rather than making public statements. I think she should heed her own advice.
I'm reporting this thread and the comment above as I believe it constitutes bullying behaviour contrary to the sites Forum Guidelines. If I'm banned 'at whim' as a result of that, so be it.
