Vocal has to verify me now?!
I paid for the membership
and used to be easily allowed.
But now I have to be on the list,
maybe part of the inner crowd?
?????????????
I have lost privileges.
I can no longer Google Translate
my poems to Turkish.
It's changed in the past few days
I can no longer create as I wish.
?????????????
Vocal, do you not like me anymore?
Did I do something to make you angry
that didn't bother you before?
Does translating my poems to Turkish
put a target on my back?
This feels very personal with things
I had before, I now lack.
?????????????
Sometimes it tells me my stories
have all disappeared.
They don't come up in my profile
which panics me to tears.
I refresh several times but all
that does is make the system verify
me over and over which only sometimes
works and I must admit I am getting
sick of all these little quirks.
?????????????
I'm sad, my creativity is being
squelched by bad servers on the site
I fear I'll be heading to substack
soon, if this doesn't be made right. :(

It's nothing personal, we're all experiencing the same thing. So please don't leave 😭😭
Hopefully things straighten out quickly!
Yeah, they need to change this new change.........................ugghh
i had to refresh the page to post. this is irritating, i pay money too
Awww, don't be sad. Let's hope they fix it, and ditch the verify you are human. How many times does it need to do that? Every device has an IP address so no connection is human and if there is a human attached to the IP, why verify it every time it is used?
I hate it too but vocal replied to me and I know they are doing there best to fix it all♦️♦️♦️💕
Patience, it'll pass. It happens when they have a DDoS attack. I know it's aggravating, but they are trying to keep our info safe.
I've had glitches too. I don't mind the verify thing because I quite like telling them I'm not a bot, but I feel your frustration.
This verify thing is really bothersome. My reads have gone down tremendously since they started. I am not so happy about that.
Oh no! I hope this gets fixed soon, you are one of my favorite authors!
