h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well I've been yikesed for the first time.
1 of the poems in my Poetry journal entry and the whole journal entry has disappeared and I've had the usual E-Mail.
Can't help wondering who would do that and if it has anything to do with a certain person on the George Bush - Moron or Hero thread who has been yiksed (not by me) numerous times?

Was it one of your own poems? If not, it could have just been a passing Researcher who saw it and thought it broke the copyright rules. <./>HouseRules-Copyright</.> Don't forget as a self-moderating site, lots of people will hit the complaints button if they see things that are against the rules. Most of the time it's nothing personal, so don't feel as if someone is out to get you.

Re: what Ideno said, right, it may very well not be personal. Also it is my understanding that everything here is moderated (meaning someone looks at it) but things that are ed just get looked at faster.

sorry to hear abuot it BC

dont worry, i'm sure its nothing personal...

I've been yikesed and/or edited several times now, for posting poetry and taboo words. The moderators seem pretty good at spotting these things without any help, so it's probably someone just doing their job in your case.

Some of their decisions are questionable, mind. But funny. Having had some of my swear words edited, I wrote a very carefully phrased journal entry (okay, rant) about taboo words, using only words one hears on daytime TV. The moderators edited it anyway.

I'm probably just being paranoid
It probably did break the rules on copyright but I've never had a poem yikesed before or seen 1 yikesed .
I'll have to do something about the 1 at the top of my personal space. I do have the authors permission to use that 1 but the BBC haven't been notified of that.
all

Morning Kitty

If it makes you feel any better, I had songs yikesed and deleted in the past...but never got the explanatory email

hiya Tanzen
but I might have to remove the poem at the top of my PS

I'm sure you'll be able to sort something out

You can just write on *huge* new entry

the author has said I can use it but I might have to get him to confirm that to the BBC and hes certainly not going to give the BBC copyright of it

you're right, maybe I should write some guide entries on poetry and stick in really long quotes

It is quite a tangled little web isn't it...

if it was a moderator they must've been really bored to be wandering around journal entries to find something to yikes

Were you in the top 5 at all last week? Because I daresay that would've attracted attention ??

not sure
pity they got rid of that top 10 posters, that was much er
