Please remove my link from Fandom News. I would prefer that any content of mine not appear in your community at all in the future. Thank you.

I don't see a link to your post on this post. Therefor, I can't edit it out myself. I did remove the link from our staging area. I will pass the message along to tikatu and I'm sure she'll have it removed by the end of the day.

We will be happy to exclude your posts in the future. Please include a disclaimer near the top that says "Please do not include in fandomnews" or "Please don't include in linkspam or metfandom", etc. We're more than happy to exclude posts that are labeled like that.

If a link does appear because you didn't put a don't include request, let us know and we'll remove it.

That's odd, as the link was in this post when I posted my original comment. Thank you for your response and your information.

There were two posts for the day. In our staging area, all the links appear on one page. We tend to do overflow posts when it looks like there are 30+ links. That is probably what happened.

Tikatu is working on removing the links now. I think she has the LJ and IJ ones removed and the DW one should be gone in a few minutes.

The link was in the overflow edition of the same day and has been removed from all mirrors.
