Signal Boost: Mass Deletion of Fics at "The Pit" - aka FanFiction.Net
"Critics United" designate themselves the Guardians of Appropriate FF.N Content, bullying writers with vile comments, and dog-piling on the 'report' function to get fics they don't approve of removed.
Granted, some of the stories they've gone after may have violated an FF.N rule. However, using bullying and intimidation to harass fic writers is also against The Pit's TOS, which in true Pit fashion, is going unnoticed.
Personally, I've stayed the hell away from The Pit for years now. I just cannot be dealing with the continuing circle of wank related to that site. But I have to say, despite my opinions about the general quality of fic on FF.N, this is way out of line and it needs to stop.
