Fanfic/Poetry Section is NOT a chatroom

*Cybergig1* · Jul 01, 2005, 10:08 PM

We've seen it happening again after it had quite some years back, mainly because as some of you may remember we locked it to where you could only post a story and receive absolutely NO replies. If the trend of people using this area as a chatroom continues we will go back to this and the only way you will get feedback on your work is through PM's. This is effective immediately and if we see any new instances starting now I'll be forced to impose the no reply block. Dont make me do this but if I have to I have no problem doing it. We give you the pm box for a reason, do not have conversations in a thread! USE AIM IT WAS INVENTED FOR A REASON!

It's totally sad that you mods have to keep on reminding people about these rules. It's only common sense...

I agree with your statement. Whenever I join a forum, I always read the privacy statement and the forum rules before I go blindly posting random spam. I just find it disrepectful and I would feel the same way if I had a forum site of my own.

one reason: people are stupid and think they can get away with anything....... (sadly this has been true of me too, multiple times)

maybe starting an AO chatroom would be a good idea?

No it isnt a good idea. We had tried several times (5 or 6 times if I remember correctly) to have chatrooms and they dont work...

For now on I will remind people of this when I post another fanfic here. I had that same problem at another site with people going off topic.

You can remind them by posting something in your fic, like: "Please don't turn my post into a chatroom, I don't want it closed" but don't psuedo mod. If you see a problem starting in one of your threads please bring it to our attention.

Yeah no sweat. But thanks for the reminder because sometimes I do psuedo mod since I have been admin or mod at other sites at one time or another. You know force of habit.
