If you provided proof you were the author when you uploaded here OR if this is the first place you uploaded to, you only have to worry if it's in different languages on different sites (then you may have to provide or re-provide proof if someone accuses it of being a translation).

The account is already deleted on the main site... not a big surprise considering these were two sentences written by a self-declared author. My grammar sucks, and I constantly make mistakes, but reading that little introduction was so painful that a third of my remaining brain cells (so exactly 3) just died reading it.
Sorry if I'm wrong, but it literally screams Translation, AI generation, or stolen story. Pick your poison.

*Edit. Just took a look at other sites. Probably not a stolen story, it's AI-prompted/AI-generated, but I'm fairly sure it wasn't stolen.

Still, since the account is now gone and the story removed, it was probably judged to be almost fully AI-generated and thus, according to the AI guideline (see below), removed.

AI Generated Stories - Stories created mostly by AI will be rejected. You can use AI to help create your stories but most of the story should still be written by you.

@Sol_zero If you didn't fully prompt/generate this story, but mostly used AI to polish it, you might have a shot to appeal it. Might be worth writing an email to the admins. AI-edited stories are allowed. Just make sure to properly disclose if it's a translation and provide some proof that it belongs to you.

That's it.

Using AI to correct Grammar and spelling mistakes is fine! A lot of people, including myself (through Grammarly), do it.

But when you say "polish," it essentially takes your story as a rough example and then creates it's own story out of it. That could be viewed as generated, because it feels so artificial reading it.

That's probably the reason, so you at least now know why your story was deleted. Other sites, such as RR and SB, allow AI-generated stories; only Scribble Hub has drawn a line in the sand... albeit a pretty vague one, as the line between AI-edited & AI-generated is pretty unclear.

I mean, I think it's recommended to say somewhere that you're crossposting somewhere in the synopsis or an author's note so people know you didn't steal it, but it's probably fine.
