I Want to Improve the Experience Project

EP Needs To Make Immunization Of Restored Content Finally Work

Just days ago SammiSakura complained here about a story of hers that was flagged off the site, appealed successfully, and then flagged off the site yet again. <a href="http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Want-To-Improve-The-Experience-Project/5097267" target="ep_blank">EP Link</a>

We have been promised that content that has been restored on appeal will be immunized against further robo-deletions by malicious members, but I have yet to see any evidence that this has happened.

I have previously written stories in this group on this topic at <a href="http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Want-To-Improve-The-Experience-Project/4346332" target="ep_blank">EP Link</a> and at <a href="http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Want-To-Improve-The-Experience-Project/4598636." target="ep_blank">EP Link</a> I have a story that has twice been robo-deleted, appealed, and then restored on appeal. It was robo-deleted by my malicious enemy (who is one of the commenters on the story) a third time on July 16. I of course appealed it immediately, but I also asked on July 25 at the second of my stories linked here that EP bypass the appeals process and restore the story immediately in view of its having been cleared twice. EPArsineh assured me that she had put the EP engineering team on the matter.

Months have passed, and I have found plenty else to be busy with. I have never heard back from EP about the matter, either in my email box or my personal messages at my EP profile. I have thoroughly checked both to make sure. I note that this is happening to one of EP's paying members.

I request that the story be restored immediately on the basis of its already having been cleared on appeal twice, a fact which I can readily document if it is needed.

At <a href="http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Want-To-Improve-The-Experience-Project/5085616" target="ep_blank">EP Link</a>, one of EP's teen members plaintively asked : "Why does my content keep getting removed? Even the ones about depression....." She also is suffering from robo-deletion of non-violating content by malicious flaggers, and has also suffered repeat robo-deletion of the same story. The ability of members to delete other members' content at will with no prior review by EP staff has brought immense needless and undeserved pain to rules-abiding EP members. Ending this ability is the right thing to do.

Some people are lucky. There are others who have had stories deleted by malicious flagging, appealed the deletion, had their story restored, then the person who maliciously flagged the story in the first place flagged their profile, so their entire profile was deleted with no option to appeal.
That's very, very serious. Would you consider gathering all the facts and writing a story here about it?

All of the facts were gathered and written up last March, by at least two different users. EPArsineh replied to both of them with generic boilerplate garbage about violation of the TOS, and couldn't be bothered to even take note that the content had already been reviewed and restored.

The user who maliciously flagged her story and then complained when it was restored to get her entire account deleted has since left EP and deleted his own account.
