I have Just finished reading "Don't Panic" by ~Boz4PM . I went to check and see if this author had any other writing posted as I had enjoyed the story. I was a bit surprised putting it mildly that the authors account has been suspended and yet the authors work is still available for reading and review. It is for this reason I feel compelled to ask; What is your policy concerning such things . I also would be interested to know if the suspension is permanent? I was looking forward to a sequel.

Well, I'll let the admins address the issue of suspensions etc, but I do believe that the author of that story has left the fandom altogether, and there will be no further writings or updates - which you are not the only to be sorry for!

This question comes up every so often because it is such a wonderful story, along with its unfinished sequel (http://www.openscrolls.net/fanfic/story.php?no=800), and a shame that the author withdrew herself from fandom (although I do not know her reasons).

Yes, it is weird that the stories are here but the author has no profile and isn't listed as a member. Perhaps the Admins might put a note in the summary? or the first page of Boz's stories?

This is a good thing to ask the Admins directly about, Aelfwine: Support@openscrolls.net

We'll answer that one here- any member whom we suspect of having multiple accounts gets suspended until they contact us to either:-
a) let us know we're wrong (which has hapenned twice)
b) admit to it and really give us a damned good excuse as to why (which ususally sees the accounts deleted anyway if members know what they're doing, but sometimes we have a heart...)

The account in question is one such account - we suspect the owner has two accounts on the system. We don't delete the account such that it can be easily recovered if we've made a mistake. At the same time, the suspention is the only way of forcing users to contact us if they wish to continue to participate. So, until the author contacts us to say "Delete" or to explain that we're wrong, the account stays in limbo.

There are currelty 114 accounts in this suspended state, so we don't count them in our overall membership numbers.
