It would be great if:

  • People had to comment on order to leave a vote, especially a new one. I understand that not everyone likes a story, but it would be great to know why!

  • I could see who had read / voted for my story, so I could ask for feedback or their thoughts, even if they've not commented

Can any mods or the Lush team help out?

We had this in Lush 1 and it was irritating beyond reason, imo. I'd read story, love it, leave a comment, then click to vote... and a comment box would appear forcing me to leave a second comment. Grrrr.

As hard as it is to accept, some people would rather read and nothing more. Or Vote/Like and move on without commenting. Yes, it's potentially annoying if someone drops a 1 and doesn't say why, but forcing them to comment isn't going to change that. The only effect it'll have is people won't vote at all.

We also had this in Lush 1 up until about 5 or 6 years ago and it caused problems, which is why anonymous voting was introduced. Badgering people for feedback (or going on the warpath if they 1-bombed you) wasn't worth the hassle of having the feature.

Sorry if that's not the answer you're after but I doubt these features will return here. I may be wrong so it's good to gauge opinion from other members.

Please browse my digital bookshelf. In this collection, you can find 101 stories, nine micro-stories, and two poems with the following features:


* 26 Editor's Picks, 69 Recommended Reads.
* 15 competition podium places, 9 other times in the top ten.
* 20 collaborations.
* A whole heap of often filthy, tense, hot sex.

Well, I appreciate the fulsome explanation.

I guess I'll just have to learn to love it.

Keep up the great work smile

I post my score in the comment section and I still get message as to why I gave such a review. Hello, I left a comment. In a few words, mind you.
