Well they are posts on the story submittal page if an author takes time to read it ----and this has been gone over before in the forum and after much heated decussion by authors and members. we all found ---he who pays the bill gets to make the rules----Authors have the right not to submit stories --and some have done just that----Others see the work and the cost in this site and think it is a fair trade ---posting rights for being published ----Originally Posted by caged
and yes these stories are published electronicly but they are published ---and no one forced an author to submit a story ---and not that it really matters --but you will find the same rule on most large publishing sites--
Weather anyone realizes or not it is quite a task to publish and keep up the updates on this site ---and for someone to just throw a trantrum and want to take their marbles and go home---is not very adult --on an adult site.
this is a free site---the rules are clearly posted ---the policy is clearly posted ---you do not have to love the rules ---most of us do not like rules
but they are nessary just like laws are---Sorry if you do not agree with the owner---I do not always---but this is his site ---he pays the bills---and if I don't like it ---I know I am free to leave anytime I want.
Now all of us have Ideas on how a site should be run---and opinions are great--but eveyone has one and all are different ---including mine---I am bound by the same set of Clearly posted rules as any member here---and I go by the same policy set forth by the owner---
So as far as I am concerned this subject is closed ----before it was a legitimate concern as there was no policy clearly posted ---there is now
If you do not take the time to read them --It is not the fault of the site or the owner
