Spam and story submissions

Postby justTripn » Fri Dec 21, 2007 2:43 pm

I just spent 15 minutes looking for a story I know was submitted to Triaxian Silk and I can't find it in the 60 pages of spam. If you submit a story, please put the word "Story" in the heading or something to distinguish it from all the viagra ads. As you can imagine, there is potential overlap between the titles of romance stories and the titles of Viagra ads.

Even better, PM me and I'll give you my regular email address.

Asso, don't worry I found something from you!

Thanks so much everyone!!!

You might try substituting [at] and [dot] for @ and . in the email address on the submissions page. Bots can pick up on email addresses pretty easily the way you have it now.

I knew it! I tried to tell Fearless Leader, but he was all "Yo ho ho, I don' need no stinkin' ***STORY*** heads-up in my subject line..." Vindication!

60 pages, really? Guh. Image
