More Vocal Observations

Introduction

These are just a few things that have come to my attention on Vocal over the last week. While I am not the most supportive, and I do point out flaws in the system, I still think Vocal is the best publishing platform for creative types as well as people like me, although Ai and plagiarism have become an absolute scourge, but Creators are taking the initiative to report offenders.

That seems an excuse to include "Young Offenders' Mum" by Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine, and if you want to hear more from them, check this out:

My Vocal Observations

I was expecting to publish my three thousandth story this month, but I had three stories that were essentially directories of my stories that have been made obsolete by the Community Story filters on our home page, so I deleted them, which meant my story count was reduced by three. However, when I check my stats, there is a gap there that says "not published". I would rather it were gone, but I suppose this is just another flaw with Vocal stats, c'est la vie.

I will probably publish the three thousandth story next week, but we shall see.

On the plagiarism, AI front, I would love Vocal to put limits on posting, even for V+ plus members, may one an hour for V+ members and one every two days for non-V+ members. I am sure that would have a beneficial effect in deterring spammers and AI trolls. I think a similar limit should be put in place for commenting, too, as I am sure some just copy and paste to try for the "most supportive" on the Vocal Leaderboard. I am far too lazy to do something like that, but have seen others do it and be rewarded on the Leaderboard, but I am sure not this week, that you can check here, but you can see for some that $20 would be a temptation:

Conclusion

We need to be on our guard against the ones who seem to be trying to ruin Vocal. In our Vocal groups, we are constantly on guard and taking action against these people, and hopefully, Vocal will become more aggressive in dealing with these awful people.

We must keep producing excellent creations for others to read, and hope we can drive those trolls elsewhere.

Thank you so much for reading and keep on being your excellent selves.
