I agree, i deleted some recently as they were so not releveant to me anymore. We should have that choice really. Some things are quite personal, a way to vent, when that's done you want to rid, I did, it feels intoxicating.The delight of writing is good, but the delight of hindsight matches nothing. xx
Well put CD! I agree

Mistletoe (Viscum album) is from the Anglo-Saxon word misteltan, which means “little dung twig” because the plant spreads though bird droppings.
You know, viscum album is gaining more use in the treatment of various types of cancer too... It's an interesting remedy

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. A friend just texted me to ask if I wanted to go see them and I'd never heard of them.
Ooooh I saw them once at the Barras! They were fab... I've not heard much of their more recent stuff, but I always liked this one...
I was just checking a couple of addresses to make sure I have teh most up to date ones for sending Christmas cards...

I didn't make a wish, but I took my daughters to my wee cousin's grave. She would have been ten on this day, so we went and put some holly from the garden beside all of the other cards and tributes and we shed a few tears and all that...
Sounds morose, but it really wasn't...

I would like to see deleting disablesd for any story that has not been verified and accepted. I don't mind re-verifying stories if an author returns after a hiatus. As Mazza says, life is like that - things happen and we come and go. I intensely dislike seeing stories that I or other verifiers have rejected coming back as new submittals, with all the previous rejection comments gone. IN fact, I'd like to see a latch put in the system that, once a story title has been submitted, makes it impossible to submit another of the same title and author, unless the previous one has been approved.
Oh yes, I remember how annoying it was when rejected stories were submitted as new rather than re-submitted... I sometimes think that the writers were unaware that they could re-submit though... But it was a real pain when you couldn't see what changes had been made or removal notices by other mods...
Surely though, writers shouldn't need permission to delete stories they've written and submitted? Would Lush, in not allowing them to delete their stories, be withholding their intellectual property or something? I mean, would you as a writer have to waive teh rights to your stories and sign them over to Lush when you submitted them?
Forum posts are different, I mean, technically, you could go back and delete them all before you left if you wanted to. Surely in the same way that all of our account details disappear when the account does, then the stories should too?
I dunno... Not being able to delete stuff seems unnecessary to me...

I never had a problem re-verifying stories when they were re-submitted. Really, what's the difference whether it's a new or an old story? It's the choice of the individual mod whether to pick up and verify a story or not, whether that choice is due to subject matter or time available to verify or whatever...
If a story is a re-submission, well, sure, it may sit at the bottom of the queue a little longer than a new one, but the list will get shorter and there will be other mods who don't mind re-verifying them.
People leave and come back, it happens, that's life. Removing the "delete" button won't stop stories being deleted when a member leaves, the stories disappear with their account anyway, so what difference does it actually make if the delete button is gone? As it stands, the 'problem' seems to be with account deletion and subesquent new accounts and resubmitted stories, rather than someone making a conscious decision to delete one of their stories?
Maybe what we need is more info for those who are about to delete their accounts: your stories, if you choose to resubmit them, may not be verified by the moderating team, at their discretion, or something?
If you don't want to verify a story, don't pick it up. Surely it's a mod's job to get stories posted onto the site (be they old or new)? Now whether that means working with an author to get their story to publishable - which can take a few rejections and re-submissions - is that so very different from a re-submission, or someone making edits and changes to a story and it having to be re-verified?
I don't think it's fair to the contributors to not allow them to resubmit their stories if they come back (sure if they're doing it every few months, then of course it would become tiresome as a mod, but generally people don't and certainly not with the intention of pissing off the "staff")

I'd be inclined to leave the delete option...
Maybe if a member goes to delete a story then a pop up box "are you sure you wouldn't prefer to 'hide' it?" option could come up or something - the same way it informs that you can deactivate your account, rather than deleting it...
