Once a violation is reported and brought to our attention, the following steps will be taken:

The content in question will be reviewed. If it is found to violate our community guidelines and no valid justification is provided, it will be removed.
-
If a violation is confirmed, the user will be suspended from posting for a set period of time.

A reminder: This site was not created to spread harm, target others, or foster negativity. It was created as a safe space for writers to share their work, express their creativity, and uplift one another without fear of being targeted or disrespected.
Thank you for upholding the standards that make our community a place of talent, growth, and mutual respect.
This isn’t seen in action though. A report was made by multiple people. Yet it remains.
Action has been taken
Thank you
I am very judgmental and can live with that. But! To attack an individual’s character on the public media is a ‘no-no’. You have a very difficult job and I admire you for that.
I agree.
thank you, Casket Sharpe
Thank you, Adagio
Agree 100%, Fia. Appreciate you.

Thank you, Damian
Thanks for saying what everyone should already know. There are plenty of other forums and topics elsewhere to do that crap. Not in a place of sensitivity and creative endeavors! We bear our souls here at times. Damper someone’s writing and it’s like a dagger to the heart! I even feel it when I post and see no comments – but bad comments crush some of us. I go through too much at times in my “offline” life. Sometimes, this is my reality! Thank you and everyone else for making this place safe.
Thank you, Paula ;))
You should publicly name any culprits who are doing harrassment etc.
Everyone should know so that they can avoid dealing with a problem person.
So call them out on it. Perhaps they would close their account and open a new one/New name, but at least make them feel the hassle.
I never understood why people would be jerks towards others, in a writing site.
I do not care for everything I read in any site, but its easy enough to just move on without bothering them.
That is true, but they do act that way. Thank you, Styxian
It’s nice to have a safe place to express yourself. It is sad that you have to tell people to act right. It should be known.
Thank you, Angels
I wasn’t aware this was happening. It’s something that seems to happen on all the sites I’ve been on. Thanks for being vigilant on the matter. It’s what makes a site a good one.
Thank you, Tim
