Does anyone have any suggestions / ideas?

EDIT: this thread is read regularly, and the best ideas incorporated, on an ongoing basis.

I realize I'm new to the site, thus have a tiny voice if any at all, but it strikes me as odd that you can't remove someone from your friend list only block them. I'd like to parse down my friend list to only those people who I interact with and still have the option of once again adding the others once I get to know them better.

I would like to be able to categorize, rank and display my friends based upon criteria such as:
Super Hawties - unattainable/different continent
Super Hawties - unattainable/same continent
Super Hawties - attainable if sufficiently bribed
Super Hawties - cyber worthy: Chattergasmic
Super Hawties - wank worthy: Posers
Swords of Swagger - Faux Alpha males
Swords of Apathy - Beta males
Swords of BS - The fun guys

Repeated rejections presented to:
& of course...
Friendly fucking friend fabricating friending friends

Is there a reason you'd like to keep chat logs?
They are useful to remember what you talked to someone about. That is all really.

Perhaps take out Poems from those rankings entirely.
Quote by DamonX
I was thinking that maybe the poetry and stories should be separated in some way. I've noticed some authors use mass influxes of poems to keep themselves on the top author list, relying on a few dedicated followers to give them top marks. A one-page poem really shouldn't be placed in the same category as a long, well developed story. Not that I care about "top" scores but it creates a bit of a skewed image of the best authors on the site.

Hi Nicola,
When I get an email telling me that I have a "new message from xxxx," it would be nice if I could read the message in my email. Sometimes, I am at work and I can't log into Lush, but I would love to be able to read my messages.

That's actually not a bad idea. I belong to several forums and they pretty much give you a copy of what the email is about in the alert

Just curious Damon...are you implying that the only reason anyone expresses themselves through poems is to keep themselves on the Top Author list...merely a cheap publicity stunt, on the same level as, say for instance, overloading the forums on an adult story site with controversial questions designed to create arguments amongst the members of the site???
You know, a site where people go to generally escape that sort of thing...
As for poems having "a few dedicated followers"...I can tell you for a fact, that I have several poems with far more views/votes than any of my "straight sex" stories except "Your Eyes" which is an Editor Pick...
Perhaps we should remove "straight sex" and "supernatural" from being considered in the Top Author/Top Story lists...
I know your comments were directed at a couple of people on this site, of which I happen to be one of them. Yes, I have been on the TA list every month since I joined Lush, and I have been mostly posting poems in the last few months while I am working on a novel.
I know for a fact you have been around on other sites for some time, and even you can muster up enough brain cells to realize that if all I was concerned was making some list, I would not have 89 stories here on Lush. People who are primarily concerned with making the lists, tend to only submit their highest rated stories from other sites...any of the mods will tell you that I have tried to submit the vast majority of my 106 stories here on Lush...the fact is, and you can confirm this with Nicola, that I have more rejection notices here than most people have stories.
Your implication that somehow a one page poem is less worthy than a multi-page story is interesting. For the record, prior to my most recent story, the longest time I've ever spent working on a story or poem happened to be on a poem. Maybe you should try writing a poem sometime, and see how it goes...
I think that old adage applies here...
"If you can't, teach
If you can't teach, criticize."
Have a good day...
Cheers,
Alan.
