Have you ever offered your services as a story verifier? Don't wait to be asked, volunteer.
If you're going to bitch about not being acknowledged for the time and effort you put into helping writers improve their stories, you don't want to be a story verifier.
I remember I was helping a guy edit his stories before he posted them to Lush because, while he told quite a good story, English was a second language to him and there were inevitably quite a few technical issues with his work.
What I got out of that wasn't money or acknowledgement, but the satisfaction in knowing I was helping this writer to improve and seeing the evidence before my eyes. When all the editing was done, it was still his story and I still felt he deserved 100% of the credit for it.
If you are "editing" a story to the point where you feel some sense of ownership of it or that people must know that you had a hand in it, then it's more likely that you (at least partially) rewrote the story rather than edited it.

The system of RRs is imperfect but has improved a lot since it was introduced and has moved on from simply being a form of promotion for mods and their author friends.

I understand that it cannot be done via the drop down box.
Putting a link in a note wouldn't be possibke until both stories are published. A sort of chicken and egg situation as the edits would have to be resubmitted.
Is it possible for a mod to edit links in?
You can edit stories after they've been posted. They may have to be reverified, but that should be quick if the edits are only minor.

In my experience, really good quality stories get read and voted on, no matter what time of day they're published. The best authors of this site never slip through the net.
If you want to guarantee a substantial readership, hone your skills and write the kind of stories that will earn Recommended Read and Editors' Pick awards. In general, get yourself seen here on Lush: make friends, be active in forums, become someone whose stories people want to read.
Lush has one of the fastest story processing turnaround times of any similar site, and the behind-the-scenes team work very hard to maintain that reputation.
There's also a logical oversight to your argument. The times when most users are on Lush are likely the times when there are most moderators on Lush and therefore the times when most stories are being processed. Therefore, at those times, your story is likely to spend even less time on the front page. So I don't think the time of day has as big an impact on story views/votes as you might think.

With regards to the first four, plus sexual orientation per gender, you can work that out by doing a member search and adjusting your parameters accordingly.
For stories per category, go to each category individually, count how many stories there are to a page and how many pages there are, and boom!
The rest, see above.

I'm 6" exactly not a 1/8 of an inch more/less, so I had to hesitate between 5-6" or 6-7". I finally chose 5-6", to be fair with the statistics.
I was just thinking about this while looking at the poll. The average is supposed to be like five and a half or something, right? A lot of guys would probably just round that up to six. So, if you have in your head that you're six inches and you're given the choice between 5-6" or 6-7", one might be inclined to go with the latter.
So maybe the results of this poll are only slightly exaggerated.
