If they don't get it, then just politely request that they leave and refrain from posting in there again and if they still don't listen, report and get moderator intervention. But yeah, this has happened to me and unfortunately, the culprit was a mod themselves. I ended up just not posting the story there anymore which was fine as there were plenty of other places to go to. Someone out there is bound to enjoy your work regardless of what alterations you make, but unfortunately the reverse is true as well. No matter what, the time you put into writing never goes to waste and each story you write helps you grow.
