I finally deleted my account on Scribophile

I was banned for the seventh time so I said, "Enough" and deleted my account.

I never got use from the site. You have to critique four or five chapters of other people's writing before you have enough "karma" to post your own chapter for critique.

I'd rather write than spend my time critiquing.

Also, I've written twelve books of material. It would take at least a decade to post it all on Scribophile.

 

Why were you banned? I'm a member there, but I never really liked the layout of the site.

 

Go you! Wear that ban badge with honor!

 

I was banned for starting a discussion about American Dirt.

 

How can they ban you for that?

 

I mean if you want critique then it's only fair that you give some yourself. That's how it works here. Plus it's a valuable skills that helps you develop your own writing.

I've never used scribophile so maybe they're just awful generally, but the tit-for-tat thing is pretty par for the course

 

I agree the reciprocal nature is what keeps these forums alive. Otherwise you'd get people who wouldn't care about helping others and only care about helping themselves and they'd flood the forum. Writers can be assholes too.

 

Most likely because 'wokeness'. Anyway, critical thinking is dead.

 

My experience has never been that bad.

 

In my experience, anyone who claims to have been unfairly banned due to "wokeness" or "cancel culture" was probably banned very fairly.

Which is beside the point because OP didn't claim that.

 

NO! Say it ain't so!
