To follow up on our esteemed Lady Macbeth's post.
When you see a rule violation, instead of reviewing the piece and simply informing the violator of the problem, hit that "Alert Webmaster" button. This should especially be done in major cases such as plagiarism. Please don't review them and tell them they have plagiarized. They know this already! Well, I suppose you could leave an informative review for other readers but certainly do not bash these poor people. They deserve our pity and the moderators' iron fists, not shameless flames. Certainly do not sick the poodles on them; seriously, don't do this. I have witnessed poodles being banned along with the plagiarists because turning review boards into flame wars is also a major rule violation.
Next time, when you see a violation, please just hit "Alert Webmaster." The site can take care of the offending piece much sooner and more easily that way. While the moderators do patrol new uploads, it is time consuming and sometimes they may not always be available to catch everything. Help the moderators!
I assure you they'll do everything they can to take down plagiarized material and ban the offender. Alert Webmaster will put it in a queue for their review and eventual removal, so it makes sure that the moderators are aware of the problem and can tackle it as soon as possible. It's win-win for that 5 seconds of time it takes for you, our fiction readers and art appreciators.
Thank you all in advance.
