    Ah, so much for the improvement

    Guess we should wait before crying, but...

    The censor button is on which reduces my stories to **** separated by a few words and then*** or ******* or well you get the point

    They're unreadable even when they aren't reformatted into gobblegoop.

    Like I said, waiting to see. I love this place. Hope it hasn't changed beyond redemption.

    My understanding is that a moderator (In our case Mike) can deactivate the word censor and that the censor is always on by default until deactivated. I understand that it was this way, before, too. The formatting, though, is a 'whole nother animal. When he turns off the wordfilter, though, things will be a lot better. Formatting issues are minorly annoying, but the censor makes stories nigh-unreadable.

    I agree! My stories are too long for this format. How do
    you keep each section on the same thread?

    Yes, 3 issues will make a BIG help:

    #1 - Turn of the coke stuffing mother forking sheet eating crests and bunt come covered come eating FILTER!

    #2 - Make whole stories post together

    #3 - And all our old stories are run on sentences! I have trouble writing in English anyway. I'm from California, and spelling isn't my First Language.

    Hoo-ray for Mike JV, he's the inventor of Girl Fight TV!

    As a long time fan of this Author, whose crisp writing and rough characters is enjoyed by many adult readers (emphasis on "adult"), I can only sympathize with his views.

    I returned to the HB after being absent for some weeks, and had an enormous trouble reading this chapter 6. Yet, I did so (no need to thank me, Cage; I am stubborn), but I think this can not be sustained much longer. Six stars can stand for a "person of African descent (derogatory noun, singular)" or "part of the female mammals used to feed their newborns (medicine noun, singular), so it is relatively safe to make in-context assumptions when one finds such "shower of stars" in Cage, or others' stories.

    It is not difficult to figure it out when a fighter decides to suck (and I begin to doubt if I can use this word, as it is a four-letter word...) a c---, a d---, a h---, or just t---, as the first hypothesis can easily be construed as three different no-no words, the second may be a typo for d---- (what, can we write "*****" on this site? woa, it's not so bad, then - after using the Preview function, I see that we may not!)... But when a girl takes a mule-kick with a high-heel show to her groin, what is it that starts running from her body? Is it simply s****, b**** or t****, is she yellow-showering u****, or the masochist in her induced female j**** or c****?! J**** C*****! (profanities also excluded) Where are c***ing (I'll rephrase it to "going") to? Am I going to read p---- in this message, as it is may be construed as a naughty synonim for d--- or c---?

    Did I get my point? When I was a kid, less than 18-y-o, I loved to do the newspapers' crossword puzzles, and I majored in 30 lines x 30 columns then.

    As a literate person and a egistered adult to a subscribed site, I feel insulted, and violated in my big, fat... free-speech-and-information rights, to be forced to imagine what others are writing for me.

    Cage! Don't stop writing. I'd like to see this Indian lady put down to "refused refuse"...
