Debated posting it here, but...

This is a problem for short fiction submissions and it's not just going to go away. The link goes into details, but this is a graph of submission bans since 2019. Plagiarism and bot-written spam.

ALT Graph starts in June 2019 and displays monthly data through February. Minor bars start showing up in April 2020. Mid-21 through Sept 22 are a bit higher, but it starts growing sharply from there out. Where months were typically below 20, it hits 25 in November, 50 in December, over 100 in January, and nearly 350 so far in February 2023.
10,000/50,000 out of the way, and I haven't even had to resort to removing all the contractions for that handy bit of a word buffer :) #nanowrimo2021

We'll do everything in our power to block this law. abcnews.go.com/US/texas-awai…
