Part of the reason premium members pay a subscription is to keep the site productive, with good writers and active reviewing, isn’t it? I think that’s worth a bit of policing to remove spammers if possible.

Topic: Spam Reviews (9 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Hi, I’ve been on this site for a couple of years now but haven’t posted in the forums yet. Where can I report or stop getting spam reviews like this:
“ This book has a compelling story line and was actually hard to put down.
You can join to a writing competition this April on @novelstar.top or joye@novelstar.top”
I’ve never had any before, but got three of these in the last month. It’s so annoying when I get excited thinking someone has reviewed my work, but then it turns out to be this junk.
Thanks!

Thank you, everyone. I do feel welcome! I just wish there was a phone app for this forum, so I could obsessively check for reviews of my work. Probably better not.
By the way, my fingers are itching to add emoticons and other cheap indications of emotions (multiple exclamation points, dashes between ideas, etc.). I'm restraining myself with great effort. I can't call myself a writer if I can't express emotions via words and have to substitute modern hieroglyphs instead. Please excuse me if one slips out here and there. I know that's gauche. I'm trying to reform.

Topic: Can a memoir be really really short? (0 replies, posted in Memoirs & Self-Discovery)
Hello, I'm Elspeth, new to this group and the site. I'm in need of motivation and writing friends, and I really enjoy reading and giving constructive feedback.
I just posted a teeny tiny essay, My Life on the Sofa, and I'd love to hear what you think. At two pages, this may be too small to be a memoir...? But since it's my own life, it seems like a memoir.
Thanks for your time. Glad to be here!

Hi Amy, I'm new too and just posted a very short memoir-ish essay called My Life on the Sofa. Feedback encouraged.
What are you working on?

Hi folks, I'm a new member and new to this site. I've been looking for an online writing group, searching for motivation, courage and advice, and hope I've found that here.
I make good starts, but lose steam and confidence quickly.
I posted a very short essay, My Life on the Sofa, and would love to hear feedback or get an in-line review.
Thanks for your time, and for having me here.
Elspeth
