I was made aware of this after a review was left on my Jori one-shot 'Angel' or I would have had no idea.

There is a user going around by the name of catspats31 who's sticking their nose where it does not below by saying what rules our fics are in violation of.

What's even more sickening is this user (along with others!) goes around to different fandoms to find stories in violation. There are even communities dedicated to sharing our stories and having others review for possible discipline action! Pretty sure that is some violation of the site rules.

Now, I've been a member of this site nearly 9 years and have never had a fic removed without someone reporting it (rule snobs like the one mentioned). So, the official site admins have never issued me warning or anything else. I'm not condoning breaking the rules, however we should (and do) express our artistic freedom here without fear of retribution from "civilian officers" that hold no real power nor have the right to tell us what we've done wrong.

Please report catspats31 and the communities they help run. This user's entire profile is filled with site rules and two cent explanations about why they do what they do. Their profile's opening line is: "I give constructive criticism and state which parts of the Content Guidelines that your story breaks, if any."

Two other users who help this person are finallyexploded and Mr. Perfectionist who is even worse! Apparently these rule snobs call themselves 'Eliminators' and this user has their own forum on here dedicated to that. They both need reported and that forum needs to be as well.

Please tread lightly my friends. I don't trust these goons not to report anyone that challenges them. I wouldn't put it past them to get people removed who try to stop them. Example from catspats31: "If you reply to my review or private messages with profanity, I could just ignore you depending on how much profanity you give me. I can also use it as evidence that you're breaking the third point of the Community Etiquette."

Take the time to look at the users mentioned and the following communities/forums listed: Reportable offense!, Reportable Lemons, and Eliminator Forum.

If you don't know how to find help, scroll down to the bottom of any FFN page and click on 'Help'. This will give the site email address and how to go about reporting. We need to stop these people.

Please send me a PM- no reviews- if you plan on helping. I can organize us a forum/community on here if needed! Additionally, please pass this along to all writers you know on here! I added it as a chapter to my stories as to not tip off these DB's!
