My Story is Missing!! Why??


Posted on: 24 Oct 2024

 

 

The original version of ST (which we acquired from original owners many moons ago) allowed beyond lax posting rules.  We have had to clean that up.  (Please see new rules news section below).  It is impossible to do this quickly going story by story.  Re-reading 72k stories makes Billie need to go to a mental hospital.  LOL
 
We are massively searching the database using terms for items that may not follow the rules.  However, this is a general search, so it is not possible to tell if the term is innocuous or is actually breaking the rules.  Any stories found to have the terms or phrases we have searced for are then unpublished and put in a queue to review to see if they were simply and incorrectly caught up in this search or if they are problematic to determine if they can be fixed.  
 
This means that if you happened to mention your 17 year marriage, or 15 visits to the adult cinema, etc. your story was caught up in this massive unpublish for review. 
 
If your stories are missing and if you know they follow the new rules, please let me know ASAP!  If you know the title, even better.  Please include.   
 
If you're seeing the tag zesty on new stories, it is simply a tracking mechanism for myself to know these stories are 100% compliant.  These tags will be removed at some point.  It was just an innocuous word I chose to be able to easily locate these stories en masse.
