Lately, we have been getting many members who put their full name on their works. Please, please, do not put your full name anywhere on this site. Putting out your full name on any internet site is dangerous and since YWS is easily accessed by non-members, assume that everyone can see your name.

If you are worried about copyrights and such, don't worry. By posting here, the copyright is automatically given to you, even though we don't have your full name.

If you are younger than 18, the mod squad will delete your name from your work, if we see this happen again, which hopefully we won't. So save us some time so we can use that time to critique your work instead of taking out your name. Razz

Thanks!

Just a quick add-on to this, whenever you post your work, your ip address is logged as well. For copyright purposes, your ip address is much more effective than your full name. In fact, there's no comparison. Just putting your name on something means nothing; but having your ip address logged means everything. It means the work can be traced back directly to you.
