So, my submitted fictions appear on Scribblehub but my account is banned and my forum account remains?

Trying to sign in says this:

You have been banned. If you feel like this was a mistake, please contact the admin.

......Confusing. I've sent an email to admin (Tony) but I now have zero control over the fiction I submitted as my account has been banned.

Any thoughts? As I'm new to Scribblehub and broke the rules somehow I'm happy to make the changes needed to my account to access my fiction once more.

Clicking on my author name on my fiction says: This user doesn't exist.

Thanks for the help!

If you stub your work or only post a few chapters to drive people over to your own website its against the rules.

Thank you, I'll try logging in...

?? A mistake for me to fix? I'm lost. Did I add a link here which needs deleting? Yeah, I have no clue about Scribblehub but I'm trying to follow the rules here. Thanks. Sorry I guess...

No, I mean why are all your stories new, stubbed and incomplete?

If you stub your work or only post a few chapters to drive people over to your own website its against the rules.

Welp. We might have found the reason.

So I can post completed books?

You can stub, but only for Amazon\Kindle.

Preview Chapters

• Do not post a preview of a chapter and tell your readers to go somewhere else to read the full chapter. It's fine if you post a full chapter and tell your readers they can go to patreon to get more chapters, go to another site to read more if more chapters are posted on another site or just an alternative site to read on but the full chapter should be posted on this site too.
• This also includes purposely not posting missing chapters to force users to go read the chapters elsewhere. Example: Posting chapter 1, not posting chapter 2 so users can go read it elsewhere then posting chapter 3, etc...
• This also applies to anything which forces the users off the site to find missing parts between the chapters off the site.
• An exception to the preview chapter rule would be Amazon/Kindle Unlimited. If chapters were removed because of Amazon/Kindle Unlimited's policies then that would be okay.

Posting a partial bit of your work and then attempting to force others to read more on another site, only works if you already have an established audience. You jumped ahead a step or two and got greedy.

Unless you have a stable audience I'm not aware of, in which case ignore me if this is true.

You can stub all you want, but the chapters left on SH have to be full and continuous. That is, for example, full chapter one, full chapter two, full chapter three... but you are free to keep anything after chapter three exclusively on any other site, as long as there is not a gap between chapters posted on SH.

It's fine if you post a full chapter and tell your readers they can go to patreon to get more chapters, go to another site to read more if more chapters are posted on another site...

The Amazon/Kindle exception only really affects cases where you post one or more chapters from the beginning of each book in a series (chapter one from book one, then chapter one from book two of a series), or a preview of a chapter, due to contract limitations.
