I can relate to that.

 

There are two separate issues concerning jashley13

first, he was getting serially down voted by a troll who had 6 or 7 extra registered usernames, and then someone started threatening violence on him and his family if he continued to write

second, after he announced he was leaving, his stories started to be removed. now only 5 of 18 remain. it is presumed this was do to age violations, but I don't know for sure if he got an official notification.

which leads into a general confusion on here as to what the age limit actually is, whenever it is enforced. jashley13 had no characters under 16, and many people here quote that age as the rule - but other places the limit is stated to be 18+

so what's bugging some people is
what exactly is the age cutoff?
how well is it being enforced?
is it being selectively enforced?

 

To submit stories on either the forum proper or sexstories.com you have to be a member, as a member you have to follow the New-rules-2014..there should be no excuses, but to be sure reread Rule #2 and Rule #5.

jashley13 did get an official notification when his stories were removed, he was also told if he edited them to follow the rules he could then resubmit them.....as that goes for every story that is removed.

If he doesn't want the trolls to leave comments he has the option to turn off the comments section.

The under 18 rule is being enforced, however as there is 300.000+ plus stories to review and everyday approx. 20 new stories are submitted cleaning the site is going to take a while and especially when there are only 3 volunteer reviewers......would you like to be a volunteer?.

As to the threats, did he report them?....if not, then why not.

 

Okay, we get it(multiple times) - You're upset because one author's stories have been reported/reviewed and removed. Guess what. More than those stories are gone. No one is doing it because the are "out to get" the author. MANY of OUR favorite author's stories have been removed. If Jashely13 cannot create stories that fit within the site's guidelines, then they should post on another site where they don't have age restrictions.

 

I appreciate the link from magpie - I had not seen that particular page. I noted it was posted only last month. BTW, why have a category for 'young' with 8000+ stories, when stories about the young are not allowed. I just have a thing about inconsistencies and contradictions, wherever I see them.

There is confusion among the readers -

Back around June there was a banner, which then went away. Did that mean the rule went away? It wasn't clear.

Many people have commented that the age limit was 16, which appears to now be incorrect.

jashley13's stories (and others) were careful to not have anyone under 16, and generated 1.5 MILLION reads, then were taken down after his stories were attacked by trolls. I didn't take that to mean that the admins were in on some conspiracy, but maybe only took action when someone else (in this case, presumably the troll) pointed out a violation.

This morning 5 or 6 of the top 10 "top rated stories of the last 30 days" were taken down - but a few other of the top 10 were left in place, even though they also featured underage characters, in one story as low as 9.

Another series of stories was edited by their author to say "all mentions of age have been removed", but the text still referred to two of the characters as yet to have their first period.

Maybe there's a process, but to many it appears random, which causes discontent and confusion.

 

so you dont agree with censorship of story content. But you would like negative voters to be censored? That makes no sense. Free speech means exactly that. He can write what he likes and i can say what i like about it.

Why should i not be allowed to have my say?

 

Ummm....totally agree, yeah...they should ban all of them, the cannibals and all that other stuff, because it only supports pedophilia, so banning people like Jashley13 who dont even rape or kill the children in their stories...

 

Nope.

Right. It's 18.

The amount of reads is not an argument for or against anything.

Reporting stories doesn't work so good anymore, afaik. And there's no mystery, really. It's more that it took the people scanning through the stories for under-18-content that long to find his stories. I didn't read all of them, but the ones I read clearly featured under 18 year olds. The thing that baffles me is that he could've easily changed the story to make it conform with the site rules, as the ages of the characters weren't really all that important to the story, and it wouldn't have mattered if they were all over 18. He didn't.

Now, it would be ever so helpful if you'd point out the specific stories you're referring to. It might've been overlooked.

It's not random. It's chronological, going backwards. And it's made hard by those who keep reposting their stories even after they've been notified that they violate the rules.

 

thanks for the reply

When I first came here, there was no obvious restrictions on age, and there were plenty of under 18 stories - so I stayed! Then banner went up, and I was like "oh shit!" but then it came down. "so what is it, yes or no?"

There are only a few stories with under 16, but many with high school students 16 or 17. I'm sure the authors thought it was legal at the time. Again, seems like lack of communication. If that's the policy, make it big and bold so that it can't be missed or misunderstood, not that we have to dig around for it.

I mentioned the number of reads for two reasons
1. If it's that popular of a series, it makes me wonder why it took several months for anyone to notice that it was in violation
2. if this site is interested in attracting readers, it might not want to ban what people are reading in droves

 

Sure.

Rules change. I agree that that the rules should be featured more prominently, but from all I've learned so far, nobody here has any control over that, and the one who does has no interest in doing so. So, I guess, everyone learns it the hard way.

Simple: Because there's only three people scanning the stories for under-18 content, and two of them only just started a week ago or so, and one more person who has the actual right to remove said stories. If you feel strongly about it, you're more than welcome to help out.

I don't know what this site is interested in. But from experience, I know that popularity is many times not the only thing that counts. There is a reason why most story sites don't allow underage content. And again, if you feel strongly about it, you can of course go ahead and start your own, free, no-age-restrictions-apply stories site.

 

Nonsense like that does nothing to weed out the paedo stories round here. Stop the fucking jokes about "pay us 5 dollars". It is not funny any more and just makes you look a cunt.

 

Why don't you just ask Jashley13 via PM to write stories just for you? Anyone would think this was the only person ever to have posted a story on the site.

 

Yep, that's a problem, if the people in charge don't care enough and don't communicate enough.

I like to be told up front what the rules/requirements are, and if I'm not sure, I go back and ask questions - and thus dislike uncertainty and contradictions (and will point them out). I do annoy my boss sometimes, but it's a desire to get it right.

Yeah, well, I'd rather they stay. I enjoy the teenage romances that happen to include sex. I dislike the unrealistic and no depth to characters stories that are like "Hi I'm your new next door neighbor" "Pleased to meet you, would you like to fuck? and my mom and little sister too!"

Until my wife finds out.

Again, thanks for an engaging and constructive (and not dismissive) conversation. I think I've covered all my points and had them answered.

 

the site doesn't like stories that deal with underage stuff; but is FINE with stories dealing with people being abducted, raped, then killed cooked and eaten........ OMFG ROFLMEFHWAO!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sounds like good reasons to find another website. I'd post some suggestions but that's not allowed.

 

I posted several stories on this site and used the reader comments to improve my skills to the point one my final stories here had over 1 million views. Yes, I received advice from the moderator my story was going to be removed because it contained under 16 characters, so I went to trouble of rewriting it. On posting the revised version I received a PM from a reader who advised the rules had changed, AGAIN, and now 18 was the minimum age.
OK,

 

Even though most writers who post on sexstories.com don't come into this forum they still have to follow the rules, they are members of xnxx. They need to keep an eye on the rules for any changes.

 

I understand that this already received a reply from a reader, but I also saw your reaction to that reply. Completely understood.

As a moderator, reader, and writer, I completely understand the confusion with the changes on the stories site. When I first came, there were no rules. Now it appears that they change monthly. Although in the vast majority of the world, sex with someone over the age of 16 is legal, the accepted standard for the age of majority is 18. That's the reason for the change. Should those rules and restrictions be prominently posted? Yes, as do other erotic story sites.

The person who owns this site has the right to change his mind at the drop of a hat. Those changes may not be popular, but we are allowed to publish here for free. On other sites, they are now restricting the length of stories and the use of certain words. I've had stories ruined because I used a word that they consider "bad", even though it was used in a proper, completely innocent and legal way.

I understand many writers have gone elsewhere, but there are very few sites that allow the freedom that xnxx once provided. Change is hard to accepted, as are multiple changes in a short period of time. I do hope you'll stay here, though.

 

Correction. The accepted age of taking part in pornographic films is 18. If I'm not mistaken, some US states still ban the drinking of alcohol below the age of 21 but still allow younger people to drive cars and sign up for the military and get killed in wars. The idea of an "age of majority" is a total nonsense. There is no one age in any country which entitles anyone in any country to claim to be an adult and therefore have the right to do what "adults" have the right to do.

The only reason that the 18 age limit was imposed here is because the owner decided that anything concerning sex, even menstruation, "wet dreams", inadvertantly observing others having what might be construed as sexual activity or contact, the idea of masturbation, or the simple idea that sexuality might exist before the age of 18, constituted pornography. What the owner of this site, along with many others, decided was that sex awareness could not exist before the age of 18 and that any pregnancy which took place before this age had to be the result of parthenogenisis or hermaphroditism.

Let's not carry on the myth about the age of majority. If you can legally get married at 15 or 16 then you can legally have sex. Newspapers can legally report stories about children under the age of 18 who get raped and/or have children. Authors can write and publish books in which under-18s have sex. This is all about a mental pervert who makes money peddling porn and who loves crapping on those who supply him with free publicity.

 

Just an FYI - in Texas, it is legal to drink while under 21 IF you are married. Just make sure that you have that marriage certificate with you when you take the missus (or mister) to the bar.
Providing alcoholic beverages to a minor is also in a gray area if that minor is the child of the person providing the beverage and they are in their home. Not so gray if the minor in question is NOT the child of the adult providing the drink.

Also, the reason for the consistent minimum drinking age is that the US Feds tied highway moneys to that minimum age. Another point is that back in 1981, when the drinking laws were being changed, I was able to drink hard liquor at the EM club even though I could not get 3.2 beer offbase.
