"Please, be polite, and use some common self, people: Golden rule, ya know?"

"THE SITUATION HAS BEEN RESOLVED. A well meaning person edited the latest chapter to my story, Reunion. He meant well, but he did so without my foreknowledge or permission.

My only purpose in starting this thread was to bring to light that even if well meant, editing other peoples work should not be done without first getting the author's permission.

I have had help with my story, especially when I first began posting it. Talli was a great help. She has helped many on this website. I have continued to edit my own work, long after posting it. Sometimes when I type in the phrase "Updated mm-dd-yyyyy" sometimes I accidentally only get 'u' simply because I only typed 'u' to bring up the list of previous update phrases but forget o select before saving. MY fault. The mouse clicks faster than I type.

I try to proofread my work before posting. I edit it right up to the moment I copy it to the webpage and even afterwards. I don't catch all errors. I'm not perfect. After I complete my story, then I will collectively revise all chapters and repost it at a later date.

Please don't let this discussion snowball into wild theories and discussions. Just be respectful of other peoples work. That is all I want people to do after reading the thread I started. Okay."

"You have to do it that way. Just save up a "batch" of changes and do it all at one time - say maybe once/twice a week with mod ok in advance of your scheduled updates. That might work best.

You can track who went in and made the changes, even without a mod. All activity on your page is logged. The meatball who crossed the line can be found and nuked, but you said it was handled, so no worries...

The edit function is a pain in the whatzoo, granted: I tried saving an entire page and bringing it over from Word, but the paragraph breaks get funky. Have to go in and fix them manually.

Meanwhile, before you can get your latest up on the wiki the wind has shifted in TSCC-ville and something new is all the buzz. Hard to keep up.

I'd like to read your fan fic, but time is tight. I'm committed to Talli's - which is good even tho I'm not a Jameron fan - and I can't read all the entries in the contest one per day. They should have multiple categories and multiple winners - like a top three per. Just my take, IMO, etc.

Whatever."
