That's the reason why we need to give all the details of course, otherwise you make it your story while it is ours. And she is blond, with blue eyes, darnit!


Blond is masculine, blonde is feminine. Idiot.

That actually proves my point about giving all the details, as she's a crossdresser.

Whether you agree or disagree with the topic, EVERY member, especially a paying member, should have the right to post a topic of their choice. Posting off handed comments and pics just to get the thread closed because you do not agree is a pretty low act and shows more about you than the OP.

To the OP, the system will never change but thank you for the discussion. In my opinion, the only fair system would be that when someone submits their story, their name is not displayed to the mod.

BTW, I am surprised that you have not received any going by you average scores And I am surprised that after 4 years of absence, that mods are still using the term 'butthurt' and calling out members on the forum. See, nothing ever changes lol

Bravo Jack, you just can't live without insulting folks, can you?
What you say is true for French and in British English. In American and Canadian English however, the term blond is preferred every time, even when referring to female hair, though a few writers like to hang on to the gender distinction.
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing

In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.

I think this thread has run its course.

How about the mods giving a symbol for really awful stories and poems?




That I agree with as there is a lot of crap that is posted. And Recommended Reads also seem to be in the same category as some of the things that are allowed to be posted

There are no conspiracies on Lush. If you feel that way, take it up with Nicola.


some of the recommended reads are crap and pap like some that gets posted and the other better stuff seems to be rejected

we're trying something different - only publishing crap until further notice. new direction, and all. thanks for being supportive.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Well said. I think it's an excellent idea not to show the author's name when approving a story. The name of the author shouldn't have any bearing on whether a story gets approved or not (or Recommended, for that matter). The best writers surely wouldn't have a problem with that - their quality will shine through whatever, right? It would also help stop a lot of the unnecessary grumbling when it comes to competitions too.

Every member should have the right to question the system without being told by those who are meant to be here to help that it's...

is that really how you see the mods? some sort of power hungry entity that's out to make lush a poorer experience for members? btw, that's a very real question - i'd appreciate an honest answer.

I wouldn't mind answering this. I hope your appreciation of honesty extends to me too.

Do I see them as a power hungry entity? No, but I certainly understand why many people do. I can also understand why people are too frightened to admit to that. Mods become mods for their own reasons - some good some bad. Some people join this site and the only thing they want to be is a mod. There are those as well who would struggle to survive on here if they didn't have the security of being part of the mod team. It explains why some people would want to bother still being a mod, when all we ever hear is how arduous and thankless it is (I love that one by the way).

Usually the bad mods are got rid of without much fuss - if you know gossipy mods you can usually find out what happened in PM. When mods get consumed by power they don't usually do it in full public gaze - MrNudiePants going postal in the forum being a notable exception. Power trips aren't the problem though. What is the problem is the slow creep towards institutional thinking. "I deserve this because I make sacrifices for this website", "us mods are so unappreciated by THEM - let's have a group hug".

The RR system was added as a perk for mods. Whenever you add a perk for the mods, by definition you make things relatively worse for those who aren't mods. We all need to remember who the most important people are on this: the Authors. All of them, good or bad. 97% of the traffic on this site is not concerned with this forum or the chat rooms or private messages - it's here to read stories supplied by dozens of authors every single day

If symptoms persist, consult a psychiatrist.

Why not read some stories instead

Butthurt is an attitude. Butface is a name. Lol.

Actually your writing is good. Keep on submitting and I'm sure the recognition will come. Hang in there.


Thanks, but once again it was not about me as I am pretty new here. If I really was worried, why would I make myself a target for people to hold grudges who dislike open honest discussion???? The few taking the cheap shots are probably people I have nor will ever deal with, just be respectful to others please. This was for other writers who didn't want to wear a target, I could care less, at least you aren't using real ammo lol.... To all writers, just do your thing and do it for yourself first.

To Sprite, I have enjoyed my dealings with most Mods, anything more just message me if you really care for feedback.

Congrats on the RR. It's on my queue. Along with a million other stories I don't have time to read lately. But I will.
