CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY ON EARTH I HAVE GOT THE CONFESSIONS OF THE PANTHER WOMAN BY MISCHA KK BAGLEY AS AN ASSIGNMENT WHEN HE WAS KICKED OFF THE SITE LAST WEEK??? IT IS WASTE OF MY TIME WHEN I COULD BE REVIEWING SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE ELSE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL PRESS REMOVE. BUT WHY HAS IT COME UP AT ALL??? CONFUSED PAM.

It is called programming not being an exact science.

Actually, it isn't even a science, let alone exact.

It is fine for those of us who know what has happened. We will just remove it if we get it to review.

But what about new people to the site, who don't know what has happened? Presumably they will give honest reviews in good faith. In theory this could put it into the top five.

Surely something can be done to prevent its going out again.

Exactly what I thought. Let's hope Ted see's this and does something about it. It's quite a lengthy piece to review, too and is a waste of someone's precious time.Pam.

Not true. It would need a credit attached within the last 7 days to stay in the top ten. The user attached 20 credits before being removed from the site.

I'd have thought the piece could be suspended or removed, but maybe this is more work than it seems to those of us on the outside looking in.

I think Mischa has been suspended not banned. But I don't really know.

Why not review his stuff? Why so angry?

Why should I when there are genuine people out there who give their time to review and score properly and DO NOT use a script to review from. They are waiting in the queue to have their work reviewed, so why should I waste my time reviewing something that belongs to someone who is no longer a member for his own wrong doings? And I'm not angry, just pee-ed off that it's taking a space in my assignments when I could have someone elses work to read who deserves it. Pam H.

Ted said, 'The member's account has been deactivated.'

In a couple of weeks, starved of credits, the book will drop to the dark and rat-infested depths of the chart, where humans seldom venture.

I wouldn't fret about it.
