No you still have the copyright BUT wherever you posted the entire work to also has part of it as well being you supplied permission for them to use it when you sign up and agree to terms and rules.
To retain control of the completed work you need to either have a contract giving "One time" publishing rights OR post it on a Blog or site you own.
"Do you feel you need Jim's permission to dislike something?"
Interesting you didn't post all of the discussion about this particular point. Have you realized now that your prosecution of so-called blog pimps (by your own admission) on the grounds you wish FR not to become a business plan for blog advertisement sounds self righteous and a little foolish being you clearly have no authority to act by the legal owners of FR.
In fact what you are doing borders on cyber-harrassment and could get the owners of this site in legal dutch. Maybe you should reconsider your actions being you claim you are working to protect FR.
You mistake prosecution for exposing and thwarting. Get it right.
on the grounds you wish FR not to become a business plan for blog advertisement sounds self righteous and a little foolish being you clearly have no authority to act by the legal owners of FR.
I need authority to "wish" something? Who knew?
Maybe you should reconsider your actions
And maybe not.
While you are certainly free to support blog pimping all you
wish, even do some pimping youself or merely coddle the pimps
already in-house, I am equally as free to point them out and
thwart them where possible. You seem to feel I need some kind
of official mandate to do this. Where you pulled that idea from I do not care to speculate.

“BUT wherever you posted the entire work to also has part of it as well being you supplied permission for them to use it when you sign up and agree to terms and rules.”
No, they don’t, any more than the owner of building “has a part” in some gang banger’s graffiti “tag”.
[unless Jim personally -asked- the blog pimp to “tag” FR]
It’s sole property of the copyright owner, in perpetuity.
[- life of author + 70, technically]
[and I doubt Jim’s gonna strain himself requoting some blog pimp’s stuff]
“In fact what you are doing borders on cyber-harrassment and could get the owners of this site in legal dutch. Maybe you should reconsider your actions being you claim you are working to protect FR.”
No it doesn’t.
Somewhere around here there’s a disclaimer absolving Jim [and co.] of poster’s opinions and there have been no threats made to the blog pimp, therefore charges of “harassment” would the last refuge of a sissy.
The *only* stuff that could be posted here that might *possibly* get the owner’s in “legal dutch” would be illegal material, i.e, child porn or entire articles posted from sources which prohibit redistribution *without* prior written permission *if* they chose to _leave them up_, which they never do.
Fact is, the blog pimps make a conscious decision to post their links here of their own volition and should at least be man enough to take the “abuse”, should it come.
