We have added some anti-spam measures, which are probably not playing nicely with your mobile devices.

What type of phone and tablet do you have? Knowing that might help Gav track down the issue.
It might have had something to do with not being placed in the Top 10 of the latest competition. Or it might have nothing to do with that whatsoever!

It's unfortunate. But with over 300K members, people come and go all the time, for all sorts of reasons. On this occasion, I have no idea why he left. He was a good writer and will be missed.
Passing this on, for those who wish to get in early:

As you know, Black Friday is just around the corner, and this year at LELO we are preparing some amazing deals and exclusive discounts for our customers. Up to 100,000 products are set to go on LELO.com, from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, with discounts ranging above 50% on selected items - Our biggest discount ever.

Even better than that we will be doing an early bird exclusive discount for people who register in advance at http://www.lelopromo.com

.
There were some really interesting stories in this latest competition. Only a couple of points separated the Top 3, which shows how tight the judging was.

Congratulations to Oceanrunner, VirgoGo and Saucymh, on your winning entries:

1st Place (Lifetime Membership to Fetlife.com ($240)) Dirty Martini, by Oceanrunner
2nd Place (2 Year Membership to Fetlife.com ($120)) Getting into Character, by VirgoGo
3rd Place (1 Year Membership to Fetlife.com ($60)) How Would You Like Me?, by Saucymh

Making up the Top 10, are the following excellent entries:

Living Doll, by PervyStoryteller
Sweet Dreams, Alicia, by gilrenard
Obsession, by browncoffee
Cum Compulsion, by Kee
The Reward, by TonyaL
Ice Cold, by Gillianleeeza
Soft as Fur She Was, by seeker4

A big thank you to Fetlife.com for sponsoring this competition. It was a pleasure working with you.

A new competition will be announced shortly.

Cheers!

I clicked on the link and I recognized at least three fat girls in my area that were down to fuck with no credit card or sign up needed.

It's not entirely a scam, just saying


You're a shocker.

Gav has added a few more filters so bad temp email domain services can be blocked prior to signup. It all helps in eradicating parasites.

If you, and others who encounter these spammers, report them, we will snuff them out a lot quicker.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who try and leech off popular sites like this, and there's little we can do about it, other than react as fast as we can.

EDIT: It would probably be a good idea if we add a "spam" or other appropriate symbol, on the online chat and black box interfaces, with a confirmation pop up (in case you press the button by accident).
I'm bringing this to everyone's attention, because we will NEVER message people about other sites, particularly dating ones. People seem to successfully use this site as one anyway!

There's been a few accounts created recently, which are set up to spam members, with a particular dating site (the rogue affiliate promoting them, has been reported to the owners of the program).

The message looks something like this, and masquerades as having something to do with our site. It doesn't.

This is simply a spammer trying their luck, pretending to be affiliated with lushstories.com.

Please report the message and delete it. Clicking wouldn't be a smart idea!

Always a consistent member of the verifying team, this person really stepped up to the plate when we were short on numbers in October, processing close to 300 stories =d>

That number far surpassed any other verifier's, making it an easy choice to decide this month's award.

Winning the award for a record 3rd time running, congratulations to WSCLG. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do behind the scenes

A special shout out too, to Jessicax, who put in another solid shift at the coalface.

Can both of you please keep an eye on your email inboxes, for your respective prizes. They should be with you tomorrow.

Thank you!

I quite like those browncoffee. Not sure grayscale would work all that well on the site though.

I think I'll put this on the backburner for now. We have more pressing matters to deal with.

Thank you to everyone who put their ideas forward.
In theory, the 12 month bronze membership, should be added to the 3 month trial membership, so you are correct.

It may override the 3 month "trial" and start the 1 year membership, from the date you upgraded. I'll ask Gav to look into it for you.

Do the stories have to go into the Fetish category or can they be put into say, straight sex?


They should go in the most appropriate category.
I guess I can post this in the "Hardware" section!

This was heartening to read: http://for.tn/2eHOgQa

The environment will be a lot happier for it.

It's good to see the direction we are taking, as conscientious global citizens. Clean Renewable Energy, Electric Vehicles, Energy Storage, are all very positive steps, in terms of reducing the pollution levels, globally.

Vehicles are also high up on the worst offenders list. Germany are one of the front runners in banning internal combustion engines: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/237320-germany-votes-to-ban-internal-combustion-engine-cars-by-2030

China and India are following suit: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/carl-pope/the-internal-combustion-e_b_10928278.html

It's not hard to see why these steps are becoming urgently necessary. Fancy a visit to Beijing?

You know better than mentioning ages Sprite!

Happy Birthday Kiera. I hope you have a lovely day.

alright



or in the color tradition of the site







I am struggling with a decision on this topic. I was hoping for a eureka moment with a pair of avatars screaming out at me, but it hasn't happened yet.

I'll leave it be for the time being.

Please keep posting mock-ups / any ideas you have.
Apparently the decision was so contentious, it delayed the announcements an entire week (probably just an excuse to get more free corporate hospitality! ).
This section is primarily intended for authors to promote themselves, rather than being used by people who have no interest in our community, name dropping their websites.

But good luck with your approach to life.
There was an outage 3 or 4 days ago, for an hour or so. Something to do with log files filling up disk space.

The host has been given instructions on what to do. Gav has it covered
There have been no server problems reported by our host today.

I just voted on your latest poem and it worked fine. And you have lots of comments on it too.

Hopefully it was simply a minute tear in the time space continuum and normal service has been resumed!
September is a good month for the winner of the award this month. She won this time last year.

Congratulations to Saucymh.

A huge thank you for your continued stellar work in culling the story queue

I hope you find something interesting on Amazon, to spend your $100 on.
Very kind of you MJ!

This sounds like it could be a CSS issue / option, and could be fixed programmatically, regardless of image size. It should be; "Title, By Author", then the image, and then the story title and body. Unless of course, people wish to have the Title, By Author, overlaid on the image.

It might be best to have it as an option for authors to choose either / or?

I'll talk to our resident code genius about it.

A big thank you to our Mods who helped out. You do a fantastic job.
