@Words4paper Oh man, that sucks! I even tried to reply to this off the email I got, and it wouldn't let me. The "REPLY" button just doesn't work. I had to sign in (they don't normally log me out) but it still didn't show any messages or notifications. I then had to go to my homepage, go to Conversations, and finally saw this message. How frustrating! Is there some way you can DM me? Discord, Bluesky, Tumblr, Insta, Twitter, Facebook? I wonder if I can share links in my bio for people to DM me, if Wattpad is going to get rid of that feature.

@Alexamelen1212 Hi. "Dangerous Territory" got reported for breaking the TOS. Basically, a couple links I used as references pointed to commercial websites, and apparently I am not allowed to suggest that people donate to non-profit organizations, even after natural disasters. Since that was my 2nd offense, I was unable to log in for 30 days, and DT was hidden from the public. My 30-day suspension is over, but I have 7 days of DT still being hidden, during which time I have to clean up any possible TOS violations. (I had to make a list based on what's in Scrivener in the meantime and couldn't sign in even to fix the problem during my 30-day suspension.)
            
            I was flagged for 5 links, but going through chapter by chapter, checking EVERY SINGLE LINK to make sure it isn't a site that sells something, I'm actually catching way more. For instance, I was flagged for asking people to donate for Ukraine and Tonga, but the person who reported me didn't flag me for asking to donate for Middle Eastern causes. Not surprising, considering I'm 80% sure who the "narc" is. They have attacked me in the past for mentioning historical details that were negative about Muslim countries (although I was careful to point out that these were the actions of extremists and not reflective of Islam) and this same person recently left grossly anti-Semitic rhetoric on my story, causing a bit of a row in the comments section. Mere days after I finally responded , "Dangerous Territory" got reported. The timing is too coincidental. I tried to fight it. Using reference links for historical essays is obvious NOT "commercial promotion" and NPOs are NON-PROFIT, thus not commercial. My appeal was denied. I'll have to be extremely careful about links, making sure, even if there's great historical information in the product description, if it's for sale, I can't use that website. (So many WWII items point to sites like that.) The story will be back in 2-3 days. Such a headache!

@Otptuki Hmm...... it looks like the entire website vanished. Maybe it got taken down since they had zero filtering and people did Rated M audiobooks over there, precisely why I was using it. Well, that sucks. I'm not sure how many of those recordings I saved. Damn... well, I just got a new microphone a few days ago. I can dig up which ones I still have, record the ones that were lost, and find a new place to host them. Which story were you interested in listening to?

@WildRhov yeah, lol, it's good

@i_isweeb Haha! I'm glad you enjoyed binging on it.

@4nication Thank you so much! I love creating fictional getaways for readers.

@AldeniaMayers omg im so happy you replied and i understand im just glad your active your works are golden be it one shots or stories i enjoy you work very much i love the actual history lesson at the end of the ereri fan fic and im pleased to hear that its almost finished  

@AldeniaMayers Thanks, I'm glad you liked that story. No plans to expand it, because whenever I do that, it turns dangerous. Just look at what happened when I thought "Oh, I'll just add a couple more chapters to Fight Me Bite Me." Almost ten years later, I'm still trying to finish that story, haha!!!

@LootyLute Thank you, and sorry for the delayed reply. It seems that I wasn't getting emails for Wattpad during the summer some reason.
