IcyFlame wrote:A reminder of our rules on AI reviews below ahead of our annual Review Month. AI reviews unfairly cheat the system, and deprive writers of receiving actual reviews. We want to hear your thoughts on the work, not those of a machine!
If you think you've received an AI review, or have any questions about these rules, please reach out to a moderator.
Happy reviewing!Big Brother wrote:Hi everyone, with all the fun reviewing events happening right now this is a important message from your moderator team:
Do not use AI writing tools to generate the majority of your review. While these tools can be fun to experiment with for your own work and can even aid writers as a tool in generating creating prompts and ideas, representing these types of AI generated writing as your own is unfair to other reviewers and unfair to the authors who are hoping for human (or maybe goose?) feedback.
As a writing website, YWS exists to promote creative writing and the sharing of writing feedback between writers, representing AI generated writing as your own undermines those things, so it is important that we take this issue seriously. AI writing can be hard to spot, so we are relying on you as fellow writers and community members to act with honesty in representing your work and your reviews.
If a user is found to be using AI reviews those will be treated as both spam and plagiarism, the review may be removed along with the points earned from them, and the user may be banned from the site. Please reach out to a moderator if you have any questions or suspect that you have received an AI generated review.
Good luck reviewing this month, YWS!

New this year, your Poetry Crew presents: The 'Best of YWS' Poetry Collection, 2023 Edition! We're creating a site-wide poetry collection made up of all your favourite YWS poems from this year! Poem submissions are open from now until November 10th. After all the submissions have been received, we're going to put together a dandy PDF that will be ready in time for you to print it out and give to friends at the start of the new year. This is not a competition, meaning as long as your poem meets a couple simple content guidelines, it will be added to the collection. For more details you can head over to the official Submission Thread. The more poems, the merrier - so if you've even written a single poem this year, we'd love for you to submit it for consideration!

We hope you've been enjoying Social Week so far with all these fun activities!This Social Week we are also offering something that hasn't been done before a period of free literary work postings! That's right! From August 4-6 you can post up to 5 literary works on the site without using your own points - by requesting points for posting right here!
The After Watch has helped keep the Green Room under 15 works for the last 27 days an amazing feat, but it's time to fill up the Green Room with our best literary works once more!
Thank you to the mods and the Golden Goose for assisting in coordinating this event.
