I got one as well. Thanks for starting the thread. I thought it was just me at first.

I've never talked to that user, but I've seen some of their reviews in workshop submissions, and they've submitted.

I kinda wish I woulda thought of it.

This feels too much like a horror movie. And Howie is infected. 
We should split up, its safer that way.

I did not receive one, which leads me to believe it is from someone you all have crucified in a review. Either that, or I am so totally below the radar I am completely unnoticed (YES!)

Must have. Did anyone else get the moderator message, though? Or am I the only one? What makes me so special? And where are my moderator powers? Should I feel less special because I didn't get them?

Hey folks, 

In the future, please send in a support email so I can see it more quickly. Avery brought it to my attention today and I have looked into it.

At this time, I'm thinking the users account was probably sending out messages from a bot so we blocked it. I don't see any cause for concern, other than I might need to put some additional flood-prevention into the PM system.

Hopefully this is a reminder that from time to time, you too, should change your crucial passwords like email and Facebook.

Sorry Bekanator, you're not a moderator :)

Don't worry, Kirk, I figured that becoming a moderator would be more of a Harry Potter type scenario, as opposed to me logging on while drunk and being all, "Something's not right, yo."

I just thought it was funny that everyone seemed to get the same message, save for one deviation.

Oh, I get it! I don't log into Facebook for LitReactor. That's maybe a reason why I don't have the message?

Avery, don't minimize our fear and our reliance on the great and powerful Doll.

These are scary times, and all that stands between the utter chaos of the dreaded Internet and our small band of (mostly) civilized writers is THE DEFENDER.  

Well, her and a pipe-smoking cybernetic capybara named Buster Brown.

"I'm still wondering whose PMS we all need to be defended from "

I'd guess the redheads, just because those girls tend to be fiery in general.  I can't really defend you from my own, which is a bummer, because I DO get irrationally sad sometimes and want to blame you for stuff you didn't really do.  And then the crying!  Um. 

 

 

 

 

Am I the only one laughing?
