Cool story.
But what advice are you asking Agony Aunt Olivia here?
If I dressed as a clown, would I taste funny?
I hope you manage to submit one to this competition RR. You stories are always very creative, which is what us judges crave.
Apologies for the downtime. Poor timing with Gav at his work Xmas party, and it being late in the U.K. when it first went down.
We are looking into an automated system to stop this happening in future. It's very irritating for all concerned.
This thread has run its course, and will be closed off.
I understand what you are saying patokl.
However, see Buz's 4th post in this thread. I think he sums it up well.
There's a big difference between hypnotising someone who secretly wanted to give you a blowjob, for example, and someone.
It's a fine line. One for the verifiers to make calls on. I trust them to make the right decisions. Proof of that is we've had the "Reluctance" category here since its inception in 2006, with close to 1,000 stories being published in that category.
It's best that our members just let the verifiers do their job, instead of there being micro-analysis and debate of every site change. Enjoy it for what it is.
In future, I think it's best that site announcements are made, and that is the end of it. By the time we announce changes / additions like this, the decision has been made. There's no point arguing against them, after the fact.
If we want membership feedback prior to a decision, we ask for it. Otherwise it's a "management" decision, and final.
