Arias Ink - Story Article - Ariasink Cleanup

You will have noticed that there have been some changes to the site.

First the email validation. You are required to have a valid email address in your profile in case you need to be contacted. This email address is NOT accessible by anyone, unless you choose it to be visible. We do not share email addresses or personal information with anybody. Anonymous visitors can no longer view any member profile information. As the site is growing, it is becoming more of a target for spammers and harvesters. This type of activity is prevented. Anyone attempting to rip (harvest) the site will be automatically banned. If your account is found not having a valid email address, it will be disabled without warning.

Due to recent events, all authors are now required to verify the originality of their stories. All new submissions must also be verified upon submission. After Sept. 1st 2003 any stories found to be plagiarised will be removed and accounts will be terminated. There will also be a public post and a newsletter sent out informing all visitors of this violation.

I have also purchased a new domain name and more webspace. This will allow greater flexibility to the site and enable me to add more features. I will be moving the site at the end of the month to the new server to test it's capacity and stability.

I will make another post when things are ready to go.

Thank you for your cooperation. Questions? Feel free to use the 'Contact Us' link, email, forums or PM.
