We often have this question from new members so I thought I'd put the answer somewhere clear to avoid more confusion. To protect against spam, the posts of new members are checked for links (to anything at all, even if it's legit) and key words used by spammers. So if you post with any of these,...
To all those, who try to type the word f-rame and come up with ***** in the post: the word is censored due to some sort of virus protection. Not sure, but I trust our administrator on that. So, in case you really want to use the word f-rame, there are lots of ways to write it other than *****...
I'm not around much, even to check the site much, so I thought I'd best give you some reasons... One of them isn't because I don't want to. If I had time I'd love to get involved in the member map project for instance. Here's a list of things sucking my time away at the moment: Dispute...
It seems we are having quite a wave of spammers who feel comfortable posting stupidities here on the forum, so while admin is looking for a way to ban them, please, just ignore them. Moderators are deleting the threads as soon as they can, so just ignore the spammers - it is probably the best way...

Hi. We had another hacker attack. Thanks to Star Anise for alerting me very quickly to this. I think the issue is resolved now and it shouldn't happen again. The problem was the forum software wasn't up-to-date, partly because the automatic upgrading wasn't working due to an issue with the...
I've been away for quite some time, so I'm kind of out of the loop, but...are we still doing "Member Interviews?" I noticed that KneD is the subject of the last interview, but no one's added anything since mid-October. :?:
This new forum update has come with a lot of new features to explore. I thought we could point out the new features we notice here and explain how they work. So far I'm having fun with the visitor messages you can post on members' profile pages. When we do that, does anyone know if there is...
I seem to have missed the deadline for commenting on the draft rules. I do have a few comments to add, most notably, clarity and consequences. Clarity is in the writing and given that it is a draft and that all of the mods are in some way shape or form well versed in writing, I'm sure this can...
OK, not quite sure how to do this. I was thinking of an overall heading "Fiction as Travel Guide" with threads we could add for a town (Paris, Venice, London, etc) or country (Senegal, Canada, etc), under which we could post suggested reading. I think a moderator would have to do this? My idea...
When there are no "New Posts," there is this nice opportunity to check posts for the last 24 hours. Could that be a permanent part of the New Posts? When I'm tuning in this time of night, there are very few New Posts, and it's hard to see what's new.
I must of necessity create this thread, to further defend a value of mine - this forum. But first I will just post this, to get that glaring red thumbs down from off of my screen, because it annoys me, basically, seeing it on top. There that's better. I don't think I have to defend it...

This is an issue that was discussed at the forum some time ago, but for the sake of clarity, for new members and not so new members, we'd like to set out some guidelines here. For the benefit of discussion and to retain the communicative nature of the forum, when posting articles, some...
Would anyone be interested in making a taking a survey together? I know we have the questions thread in the game section and the member interviews, but I thought this might be fun anyway. We could compile a bunch of questions in one thread, and then have a companion thread where we each post our...
We wanted to post this earlier, but certain events on the forum drew our attention away from it, but I think we should get back to it. Due to the problem of editing, we (mods) have suggested Admin to remove the editing option. We do trust our members completely. We have all been together for a...
As discussed a little while ago now, moderators have been working on revised rules of conduct for the forum to make the operation of the community more transparent. We present the draft general guidelines which we'd like member feedback on before posting the definitive version. Let us know what you...
Anyway, the reason I came to this section of the forum is that I've been meaning to delete my subscriptions (there are over 700 subscriptions already, probably almost all from the start), but I can't find the right button. I've been looking up and down, left and right, and I can't see "delete"...

In general, yes, I am unhappy with the moderation of the forum lately. I think the problems with the moderation have contributed to the forum slow-down, and I know they have contributed to my level and type of participation. Without going into specific incidents, my biggest concerns are, briefly,...
This is the first forum I've joined, so I have what I know is a very "newbie" question before I post much more. When starting a conversation, why do some choose a "Sticky" instead of just a new "Thread"?
