I don't get their motivation honestly. Why do they care so much. They gave me some reason that sounded like blah blah blah.

In other words you got the answer but it was either an answer you didn't want to get or you just couldn't be bothered to read what you were told. I'm really guessing they more likely told you to read their FAQ link and since that actually requires you to do something yourself you couldn't be bothered but you still choose to complain about it.

If they really wanted what was best why do they have a whole section devoted to making fun of users who are upset with them.

What does wanting to help the site have to do with them posting things like death threats they receive and people who can't make a point?

I posted on their forum but they deleted it because I made too much sense.

I'm calling foul on this. Given CU's setup and MO I'm betting you either posted a cursed laden tirade OR you posted in the wrong thread, for which you would have been told where to post but you can't be bothered doing that and again would rather complain.

There was no reason for them to attack my story.

I'm betting your definition of "attack" is being told something you don't want to hear

The rules are guidelines and guidelines are an outline of what the admins would like users to adhere to.

No, the rules are what everyone is expected to follow here. They even say on the same page if you don't follow said rules then don't be shocked if your work is removed.

Proper warnings and giving credit is paramount

Not necessarily in this case.

Also the fair use of copyrighted lyrics does apply. I looked it up and pasted it on my profile page..

You are an idiot. Fair Use does not apply because the site has specifically stated in their own rules, rules you must agree to abide by before posting, that using musical lyrics you do not own is not allowed here.

Just because someone told you to google fair use doesn't mean it overrides the rules of this privately owned and operated website.

Maybe you should move to another site that would allow you to steal...er...use other people's work as a crutch for your poor writing instead of being on a site where that isn't allowed?

The group might not get so much hate if they would use more tact instead of threats and condescension

They don't do that so unless you can provide proof of the "threats" then you're just another liar like others here.

They are making fun of people they have warned and their responses.

They make fun of people who make death threats and other outlandish statements to their reviews. They also don't name people and go out of their way to make sure no one knows who it is they are discussing. The only reason one would see an issue with that is because they were the idiot who sent them said threats and/or outlandish statement.

They say they're trying to help but on that forum they are bullying.

How exactly are they "bullying"? I want to see you lay it all out here. Not just because you say so. I want to see you show your work here and prove they are "bullying".

If you don't then you're just nothing more than a butthurt little crybaby.
