...that the author took issue with a review I posted that scathingly critiqued the story, proceeded to spend two days of back-and-forth saying I was a horrible person, refused to listen to reason, and eventually proceeded to try and spam insulting reviews for my stories through sockpuppet accounts
Your post seems to be implying that it's considered okay to use (part of) the Discord for complaining directly about authors of fanfiction. Could you please clarify your actual meaning for those of us (those of me?) who don't visit it? Ta-hank you!

I've had to remind several people on multiple occasions that mocking the authors is not allowed. Most get it after one reminder. Others... need to be reminded several times.
I think in this instance though (and I'll wait for Skater to clarify) he meant complaining about getting shouted at by the author, but that's still going near a line I'm uncomfortable with.
I thought the "altercation" Minh was talking about took place between him and a colleague, not him and the author, which would make it okay for him to vent about it in #generic_salt.
In that case, Iximaz is correct. Mocking the author is most certainly not allowed, not in #generic_salt, not anywhere else. No matter how badly they take criticism, you are not allowed to attack them. Only their work can be attacked, and I would prefer not to talk about any altercations you've had with them.
Thanks for clearing that up. :)

I mean, put badfic reports together in the same thread.
If we make a new thread for every badfic we'll be flooded.
