*ahem* Attention.

[Roku Ni-San]

I have recently received reports of stolen (copied) work posted on my forum. This kind of thing isn't acceptable because it's a violation of the Terms of Service and could cost me my forum. I've deleted the two threads that contain this copied work already, but if there is any other copied stuff on my forum please let me know. I'm not joking. The member who is responsible for this copying has had their account banned from this forum.

I don't want to do this, but I have to - if I see any members posting someone else's work on my forum, they will get their account banned immediately. No questions asked. The same thing goes for copying any work found on this forum and posting it on another forum or site without the creator's permission.
All posts made on this thread are copyright of the person who made the post, and actually... all posts on the forum are copyright of the forum, so you'd actually need my permission before copying anything off the forum.

I will not ban accounts if the "copier" got the creator's permission, and gave credit to the creator when they re-posted the work.

Please don't take this warning lightly. I'm serious about this, and I WILL ban accounts if I have to. Thanks for reading. ^-^

I recently had to remove 3 more fan fiction threads from the forum due to the fact that they, too, contained copied work.

The thing is, when I deleted the threads, there were other members' posts included in those threads. I'm sorry to say that since the entire threads have been deleted, all the posts are gone. However, deleting these threads and all the posts they contain did not affect your post count.

I felt bad doing it, deleting all those posts made by other members, but that's a hard part about administering a forum. I apologize to those members whose posts got deleted.
