Im now Beta reading for her. If she decides to co operate, her fics will be reposted at FF.net after MAJOR work.
She wasnt upset.
(If she doesnt co operate, shes on her own and who knows when you'll see her again  )

(S)he also left us for other reasons than the crappiness of her fic.
In all,
1) (S)he appeared to register twice as different people at the same time. Why?
2) (S)he responded very rudely to a reviewer who was trying to be helpful in her advice. We encourage helpful criticism - a fine line that we need to monitor a lot, but (s)he stepped well over the border.
3) (S)he appeared to go a bit nutso on the forum and started playing with her(his) alter ego.
4) (S)he had the most widely panned stories on the entire archive all within 24 hours. (S)he really managed a record on this one.
5) One of the stories appeared to have nothing to do with LOTR anyway. You could argue about this, but by this time we were not prepared to argue.
6) The stories were not beta read (she admitted this) and this is most clearly against our guidelines. Whilst there are other stories that have also not been Beta read, this author demonstrated no willingness to actually do anything about it.
So we deleted her(him).
After that we got a complaint from one of our regular members about her(his) activity - so we feel fully justified. We strongly value those members who are here to help others and contribute to the community etc.
Whilst there are some stories on this archive that are "less than high quality" we do not believe in starting an elitist "we must approve your story" style archive. It's here for new users, and the review sytem allows for the more experienced to help and guide others. Hopefully the newbies respond - but if they don't, or they are just abusive about it....
Mora - if s(he) really does get the story checked and reverses her(his) attitude to those authors trying to help, (s)he knows our support e-mail and we'll reinstate the account. But yesterday there was enough going that we were not willing to even bother discussing it with her(him). |

I wonder, did she (Odzy.../Akwardsaw) send rude PM´s to , well, everyone or was I the only fortunate one? Maybe I´m just plain stupid, but I feel slightly confused by all this...  |
