Did this happened to another author here?

What happened is the following:

I tried to start uploading in honey feed too (it's never too many platforms to upload stuff), and just as I was about to upload the first chapter (after the prologue), this thing appeared. At first, it was just in the publishing chapter part, but moments after I was unable to even enter the site. Did this happen to some of you who published in honey feed? If so, what the hell should I do?

Also, I just post in Author General, but if this goes anywhere, please let me know, I'm not that sure haha. Below a screenshot of what the site says:

I haven't posted on honeyfeed. Perhaps you used VPN, or maybe you violated some rule?

I mean, I only posted the prologue, I'm not sure what kind of rule that would violate, though I thought about it. And the VPN part, nope, I didn't use one to enter the site. After I got blocked, I did use one to see if I could go in, but that was quickly blocked too.

Then you should either google this problem or wait for someone who posts there. Hope you'll solve this problem. GL.

I have no problem posting there. Maybe you use a copyrighted picture or didn't label your novel with an Adult tag if your novel has explicit sexual content.

It seems they are strict about copyright so be careful about that.

I didn't use a picture, and I did mark the adult label. Though, now that you mention it, it's a fanfic, so maybe is because of that?

yes. They are integrated with MAL if I read it correctly. And they are anime platforms, or anime makers. So fanfic or anything copyrighted is not allowed, I think.

Ho... That may explain it. Oh well, I still don't know why would they completely block me instead of just blocking the fanfic though

they're a fairly new platform with heavy ties with big publication companies (as seen with their recent contest) so i suspect they're quick to get rid of shit like this to make the big money papis happy

They probably don't want people who don't read their terms of service.

Their Adult label there has a limit too. Can't be too "adult" although I think it's like others said that the issue is more of fanfic. Never seen a fanfic there.

That's excluyent. Why would they block people that don't have enough time to read the terms of service!? I don't even read that for things that would probably take the little money I have by clicking on the wrong part of the site. I feel offended.

The irony in this.

They're very strict about this it seems. Just kind of wish a link of their policies was at least shown though when you publish. Honestly, other than this I don't know much else wouldn't be allowed on the site.

Edit: Wait a second, they should allow fanfics. When you're not logged in, this is on the homepage:

I was joking with that last comment xD But, honestly, I don't see then why they blocked me if they allow fanfictions.
