Open Scrolls Archive Vs. The Haters
It all starts when GAFF sporks a LOTR Sue from Fanfiction.net. The author is probably underage, so I'll leave that alone.

The real fun begins when someone from another archive, Open Scrolls (www.scribeoz.com), crashes the party. DevilsAdvocate (aka Scribe) is upset because people have linked Open Scrolls stories on GAFF. This has nothing to do with the original sporking, mind you. Now if you click on a link to Open Scrolls from Deleterius or GAFF (and probably here, although I haven't tried it yet) you'll get this notice of banning:

You are receiving this message as you have been identified as possibly engaging in the act of unfairly criticising an author and are thus banned from reading stories on this site. This ban will remain for a period of seven days - repeat offenders will be banned permanently.

To raise critical appraisal of stories on this site, please use the review system or the forum. The disection and dismantling of authors in a critical and non-helpful manner is not appreciated.

If you feel that you are receiving this message in error, please notify us on support@scribeoz.com and we will investigate. If you are an AOL user, however, the ban will likely remain due the the way AOL accesses the internet and there is not a lot we can do about it!

The following message is posted on Open Scrolls. And we get a mention!

Please note for future reference, that anyone wishing to link to stories, not their own, on Open Scrolls will need to get approval from the Admins first. I am aware that there’s no rule that requires you do this, however, we are appealing to your sense of courtesy and fair play. Recently developments on GAFF (God Awful Fan Fiction) have provoked us to make this request when several of our authors were sporked there.

While everyone is entitled to their opinion and in the spirit of free speech we can’t stop negative things being said about the stories, we can ensure that the sporkers at GAFF do not find fodder for their site, directly from Open Scrolls’ pages. If it’s a matter of them having something to say about a story, that’s their right. Free speech is a double-edged sword. However, we at OSA have a problem when they post links to these pages so that members of their spork thread can come here and have a prod as well. Coming here specifically looking for targets to use for their brand of ‘fun’ will not be tolerated and anyone who links us there, will do so at their own risk.

Of course policing this is difficult and we have taken some steps to prevent this but no system is fool proof. Therefore, please note if you are on GAFF, Deleterius, Fandom_Wank or other similar spork/wank sites as well as a member of Open Scrolls and that you're using links there pointing back to this archive, beware. We are watching and there will be consequences. Some of you will already know to what I am referring.

They see you when you're sleeping. They know when you post wank. They know if you've been bad or good, so put your sporks away! Or else, no more het LOTR fanfic for you. What a shame!

EDIT: According to our brave test clickers, only a direct link to a story will get you banned. If you would like to try this for yourself, go here: Ban Me Harder!
