Uniform Stealing Board

The problem has nothing to do with the content of your stories, nor even the content of the accompanying pictures. It has to do with the manner and the timing with which you post the pictures. You came to a compromise with Rufus (regarding posting all your pictures in one link) and then were given a more direct compromise from Esercito (who asked you to edit the links directly into your posts when new pics came up). However, as of yesterday, you have continued to post individual link-by-link posts, usually a few minutes after someone else on the board posts an update or comment on another story section.

I'm sorry if this sounds confrontational - I have been a part of this board for over ten years, and I don't think I've ever gotten directly involved in any overarching controversies. However, I feel it is appropriate at this stage to step in, if only because I enjoy this board - I like writing stories, and I like reading stories, and I've always tried to maintain a level of respect when it comes to other writers posting and commenting. Your manner of posting in recent weeks has struck me - and others - as disrespectful, both to your fellow writers who contribute stories here and to the board at large. And as others have noted, it is hindering other people's motivation to post and comment on their own stories.

I hope that you will honor Esercito's instruction going forward, and that this matter can be resolved without further controversy.

Thank you. Enjoy the summer, all.

Is there a reason you chose to update your latest story with a post consisting solely of a one-image link a few minutes after I posted a reply to one of my own stories?

My first thought was that it was a coincidence, so I decided to test that theory by deleting my own reply and reposting it. And sure enough, a few minutes later, you deleted and reposted your own post, thus regaining your status on the board's main page.

People have repeatedly asked you over the past few months to stop adding image links to your stories in a manner that serves only to ensure your stories remain accessible on the main board page at the expense of other writers. You even made a compromise with Rufusluciusivan, which you have since broken several times - with today being the latest example.

Let me say this clearly: Regardless of your intentions, this manner of posting is disrespectful to your fellow writers and board members. This has nothing at all to do with your stories themselves, nor does it have to do with your relationship to other writers on the board. It is simply a manner of keeping this board healthy and respectful. And at the moment, your manner of posting does not contribute to a healthy or respectful atmosphere.

I am asking once again: Please stop posting image links in this manner. Either post them all at once when a chapter is complete - as you previously agreed to do - or better yet, edit your posts to include them directly into the stories' content. This would go a long way towards keeping the board civil and free from any misunderstandings.
