Rabbit and Tiger,

Forum members talk.
We keep the site alive.

Anything you say can and will be used against you,
that's the reality check.

If an author wants to remove their content and they are sent a note telling that author that the site now owns the rights to publish/display, there is going to be some wicked responses.

There is NOTHING on this site that states the site holds or retains any rights regarding any story that has been submitted. If such information exists, it's new and needs to be posted in a very public place and perhaps the author would have to acknowledge such rights when submitting a story.

At present, based on the lack of documentation, the site is only "hosting" stories that have been submitted by its members. It does not have the right to publish, sell, post these stories on another site or in any electronic or printed format, nor in any way have those rights taken from an author.

That's what the fuss is all about.

Rabbit, please stop yelling. The larger font is rude and doesn't make any friends, nor does it sooth any feelings.

If you want to post a policy about hosting stories, then please do so and make sure you are prepared for a number of authors to wish their stories to be removed.

For those who have requested their stories be removed, I strongly suggest you honor their requests.
