That’s right, you tell them, Nicola! Ha-Ha!
I agree with this as well...
It's totally unfair when people don't score stories based on merit.
In saying that, I have set to blocked in my account, but recently had two stories appear from friends, which were not in that category, but should have been - which was quite annoying. One of them quite clearly became that early on and I just skimmed it and scored it accordingly. The other didn't become until the very last line, so when I read it, it I felt pretty sickened that I'd been 'duped' into reading it. Had it been in the section, it would have spoiled the 'surprise', so to speak, but it was annoying nonetheless...
I've also seen people vote stories down for personal reasons, with nothing to do with the content of the story or it's merits - so I'm really glad that this will be dealt with....
I love Lush, it's like my second home!!
Going on what Mazza said about stories that are in the wrong category, I dont know if there is a way to suggest to moderation that a category of a story be changed to the proper category.. I'm sure there are other stories that are put in the wrong categories, but I figure this could be a useful feature to be added to the site..
There are lots of stories I don't read because they're in a category that doesn't do it for me or in a style that doesn't draw me in to read more. However I do respect that someone has put in a lot of effort and time to write a story and I respect that. Read and don't vote or comment if it's not for you, others may love it and let them enjoy it. That's what Lush is about in my opinion.
I wrote about this stupidity in another thread I believe last year. This is seriously unfair to the author.
On another note, it is also not appropriate to give a great score to a story based on profile pics.
