then do not submit a story ---and by most sites I do not think you mean
Literotica---their policy is as stated and hidden in the FAQ section---

If I submit a story to Literotica, do I still own the copyright?

Absolutely. You are simply granting us a non-exclusive right to post your story on Literotica.com. All rights to the story still belong to you, the author

And all major Story publishers are the same ---I know I am a member of most of them.

At least our policy is not hidden ---it is on the submission page

By submiting a story you are agreeing to these terms

The policy is posted --if you do not agree with it just do not submit a story to be published

now I am closing this thread as it is not productive ---but started by a member who did not want to follow the rules of the forum and was banned ---until then he was perfectly happy submitting his stories----and tried to rally some support as to not following the forum rule ---and thought he could take his marbles and go home.

it did not work nor will it work ---All member are treated the same here---all including me must follow the forum rules that are clearly posted ---
