It's not one particular member but I would like to say thank you to all of the people on Lush who report the spam accounts that pop up from time to time.
Lush attracts its fair share of spammers but we keep on top of them by having some lightning-fast and eagle-eyed members who let the moderating team know when someone needs squishing.
If you're a regular reporter of spammers whose efforts have thus far been overlooked, drop me a PM and I'll hook you up with a 'Spam Assassin' badge.

Hi, random question whilst this thread exists.
With co-authored works, is there any way that both parties can have a notification of comments etc? Or is there a setting for this that I have missed? I like to see how things are doing but find I have to go and search for the work and look manually (I know, an end of the world task but hey, I am curious)
Don't think so, no. Would have to be a change Gav would need to code.

The picture reminds me of Blofeld's lair in the Swiss Alps during the movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to come."
Edit: Actually, that was Goldfinger... still a good porn title though, lol.

You're actually going about this in completely the wrong way.
It's just a hypothetical deliberation on a forum. A bit of a 'you've got a body, how do you dispose of it?' thought exercise fun.
You can't start a casual discussion thread by asking people to plan a whole murder soup to nuts.

I'm seeing some potential issues with a few of these suggestions.
Mailing it through the U.S. Postal Service
- A body is too large to send in one piece through the postal service so it would need chopping up and mailing in pieces.
- Risk of contents being detected by an automated security process like X-Ray or manual inspection due to the smell of decomposition.
- Possibility of trace evidence on the packages: fingerprints, DNA, other geologically unique materials.
- Possiblity of identification through CCTV at USPS mailing point, payment of postage, etc.
- Who would you mail it to?!
BBQ
- Advanced understanding of human anatomy required to dissect and filet a human body.
- Still have the issue of disposing of bones and other body parts that are not consumed from the grill.
- Huge amount of physical trace evidence to clean up in your own home.
- Risk of detection if any diseases or pathogens are passed onto your dinner guests from the recently deceased.
Piranhakeet
- Fantasy creature.
Hydrofluoric acid in a 50-gallon acrylic barrel
- Hydrofluoric acid is toxic and corrosive, but actually isn't that strong of an acid compared to other hydrohalic acids; the fluorine has a very good orbital overlap with hydrogen and is also not very polarisable, therefore it resists donating its proton, unlike other hydrohalic acids which are good proton donators. It will break down some tissues, but it will take a relatively long time and won't turn the entire body into stuff that can be rinsed down the drain. Hydrochloric acid is a much stronger acid, and as it has several uses from pH-balancing pool water to preparing concrete surfaces, it's available by the gallon from any hardware store. However, it isn't very good at dissolving bodies either; while it will eventually work by breaking down the connective tissues, it will make a huge stink and take several days to dissolve certain types of tissues and bones.
- You also have the issue of sourcing 50 gallons of Hydrofluoric acid. The stuff you buy from hardware stores is a fairly low dilution of the acid for safety reasons. To source stronger, purer versions you would need to purchase it through a specialist chemical supply company which would leave a paper trail.
- Barrel dump or contents clean up? Either has its own set of risks.
Burial in the Arizona desert
- Small risk of trace evidence being left in or on the vehicle but adquete measures could be taken to minimise this.
- Burying a body deep enough to avoid carrion-eating birds and animals detecting and digging it up would be a long, hard task. Additional help may be required. The longer the disposal takes the greater the risk of being detected.
Blowing it up using over the counter untraceable materials
- A detailed knowledge required of explosives and bomb-making.
- Depending on the materials you chose to use, the purchase of some innocuous over-the-counter substances are still monitored by authorities for anti-terrorism purposes.
- All of the bomb fragments left behind would tell investigators what was used to make the bomb and could provide them leads to tracking down where the materials were purchased. It would also indicate that it was of amateur construction and almost certainly researched on the internet. Unless very technically saavy, evidence could have been left behind of your 'research' activities.
Extra-terrestrials
- They'll only take a body off your hands if you arrange it through this guy.

Feeding it to pigs
- Who do you know who has a pig farm and would be happy for you to feed them a chopped-up body?
- Trace is still left behind in the excrement including bone fragments, and DNA can leech into the soil and be detectable for years.
- It's still not a fast method of disposal. According to the CDC, the average American man is 5 feet, 9 inches and houses about 195.5 pounds of flesh and bone. For a hungry pig, that’s a week, maybe a week and a half of lunches. So you would need a lot of pigs.
- Pulling the teeth and other associated prep work would leave a lot of trace evidence on you, the work area, and all of the tools used so all would need to be extremely well cleaned afterwards.
Industrial mincers / wood chippers / etc
- Gaining access to the machiney (unless of course you work with it, in which case it's already a terrible idea due to the small suspect pool investigators would be looking at).
- Risk of detection - you can't do it during the day.
- Huge amount of physical trace left behind. Even industrial mincers will leave bone fragments etc behind which would be detected.
Not having a body to begin with
- Too late. Got a body.
DIY cremation
- Cremation of a dead body is carried out at a temperature ranging between 1400 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. The cremation chamber is designed to dry out the body, burn off the skin and hair, contract and char the muscles, vaporise the soft tissues, and finally calcifiy the bones so that they eventually crumble. The gases released during the process are discharged through an exhaust system where the emissions are processed to destroy the smoke and vaporise the gases that would smell. The smell of burning a corpse is going to be the biggest issue with this method of disposal. You would detect that Eau de Dead Guy from miles away.
- You would also need to collect every minute remnant after the blaze for disposal - this would be a big task. On average, it takes about one to three hours to cremate a human body, thereby reducing it to 3-7 pounds of cremains. Metal fillings, implants, pacemakers, and all manner of other things would also need to be collected as they would not be completely consumed in the fire.

Some of these ideas have been bounced around in the past. The bone of contention in each case I believe was that it is unfair to exclude anyone (except judges obviously) from any competition. Mods are just normal members who volunteer to help verify stories or look after the forum/chatrooms, why should they be excluded from anything?
With regards to providing detailed critiques of entries, that would be a monumental undertaking. Judges would have to submit notes on each story they read, then those would have to be collated and rewritten into something meaningful for each entry. None of this is needed in the current process so would be a lot of extra work.
With regard to competition rules, any that apply are posted on the competition page itself.

she is left with a whole bunch of great comments on her story, the final rating it got and then nothing.
Don't forget the profile 'Contestant' badge. Those things are sexy.
As for the 'glass ceiling' comment, I believe Ping was trying to point out that the phrase was misused because it refers to a situation in which progress appears to be possible but restrictions or discrimination create a barrier that prevents it. It's usually used in the context of someones profession and most often applies to women and members of minorities being denied the opportunity to obtain upper-level positions.
I see a few inherent problems here. The most obvious one is that the site is being asked to classify some authors as 'rookies'. The only way do this fairly without attempting to qualify the quality of someone's work would be to only apply it to first time competition entrants. This doesn't work in all cases as previous winners have included first time entrants who were seasoned writers on other erotica sites and definitely not new to the activity. Some people may also object to being labelled a 'rookie' just because they haven't entered a competition before.
Just sayin'.

Anyone heard of Robert Pickton AKA The Pig Farmer Killer?
Yup. That's how he disposed of the bodies, until someone tripped on a femur. It wasn't humerus, it was indeed a femur.
He was reported to have murdered between 6-49 people. He was convicted of six, but confessed to forty-nine. Oddly enough, one of Canada's most popular weekly lotteries is called 6/49. A coincidence?
After this, I couldn't look at Piglet the same way again.
