New "Hidden" Author Designations

Crumbly Writer ๐Ÿšซ

Why are many authors now listed as "Hidden"? Is this related to the purge? I long had access to view ALL stories, and yet, while I can access the files, I can no longer see a wide array of authors which I could before.

Was this designed to 'protect' their identities, presumably of those who wrote the stories which provoked the targeted attacks, or just a way of distancing SOL from them?

I'm assuming (crossing my fingers) that it's to help those being attacked, yet it also makes communicating with those targeted or offering aid and assistance a bit more complicated, though I haven't tried to contact any of these 'unknown' authors, since I have no way of knowing whether I know any of them or not..

Can you think of any that have become "hidden", and I'll go and check if I can see them.

Ah, that's right. I forgot that Lazeez announced that the posters would be 'hidden' until after the stores were being featured, when they once again be credited with their own work, aside from the contest.

Sorry for my 'willful' ignorance, but never being much motivated by site contests, I've never followed most. Instead, I prefer reviewing the highest rated stories, to see what I may have missed reading.

Contest stories have the author name hidden so readers vote on quality instead of familiarity with an author. After the contest result is announced the stories will show in the authors' story lists as usual.
