OK. I'm back on FA for the time being.

Question: how long will it take for the mods to start finding excuses to suspend me again? Bets accepted.

Did they put you on probation, like three strikes, you're out kind of thing?

Not that, but I know for a fact that some people were openly hoping that my suspension would prelude to a permanent expulsion. And they have been very creative in finding reasons to extend it.

When were you first suspended (how long has it been)?

[identity profile] fpb.livejournal.com 2004-11-30 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't want to know. My most recent suspension began last August, after a one-week interval.

I don't understand. You can be suspended??

Well, you are evidently a pleasant and polite person who never gets into trouble. Yes, my dear, you very much can.

I am rubber-necking as we speak.

What on earth? I've never been on the FA boards, so the only trouble I've been in over there is for uploading my fics wrong.

Well. There was also that very R-rated story, but I warned them up front and worked with Heidi and Connie to tone it down a bit.

And there was the time I got that rude message from a moderator when I complained about a fic not appearing on their "What's New" list. But other than that...

Let's just say that it does not pay to have strong opinions. I don't even want to rehearse all the crap I've had to go through. I have no respect whatever for the FA mods, although I want the use of the site to publish my fics. If not for that, I wouldn't even have bothered coming back.

Yeah, I think staying out of the FA boards is a good plan. There are too many kids there, and it's just... a playground. Chaos and noise. It's a great site for stories though.

Why do you post there if you don't like it? I mean, doesn't that go against your morals to post at a site you feel to be unfair/biased?

[identity profile] fpb.livejournal.com 2004-12-04 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Because it gives access to a wider readership, in a more attractive format, than ffnet.

Why don't you begin posting at a somewhat lesser know site? Then you could get almost as many readers, but not as many problems.
