I'd remove it.
Coupled with disallowing duplicate / very similar titles, it would stop those people who think they might be able to get a rejected story past admin, by submitting it a second time, as "new".
Mazza, you must have a short memory. It's bloody infuriating verifying the same stories you've already verified and edited, particularly when the queue is piling up. Especially so, when you've spent perhaps half an hour on each story, correcting all the mistakes, and then the person submits their original copy again.
If the person had 10 stories, that means 10 x 30 mins = 5 hours have been spent by volunteers already. Submitting them again means another 5 hours admin time. That 5 hours could be used processing new stories. If the new stories didn't require much work, that's 30 stories we could have processed, give or take.
I hate double-handling, it's a pet peeve of mine.
on top of this, we have to keep an eye out for plagiarized stories here, and oftentimes when someone resubmits a 'new story' after deleting and returning, and i recognize it as something i've read before, but aren't aware it's a resubmit, i end up wasting a lot of time doing a search to see if it's previously published material, and yes, this IS part of the job, and a time eater, for those who don't know what goes on behind the scenes. we do a search, and then, if we find it else where, we contact the author via email so we can discern if it's stolen or if it's just someone posting on more than one site.
for the record, Nicola's apx. time per story of 30 minutes is accurate - the time we spend working behind the scenes is quite a huge chunk of our Lush time and we don't resent it, but please, we don't need a larger work pile, especially around the holidays when most of us have a lot of other things going on and the story submission rate traditionally doubles.

As DD said, this is a sex site. i think most readers expect to read about... well... sex. i know i do. oh, i want a well written story, with characterization and a plot, but ultimately, i want sex. i read erotica for the arousal factor - yes, i usually masturbate to it - and i write hoping to give the readers the same - a good story that keeps them both interested and turned on and, ultimately, something to cum to.
also, as DD said, you do build a rep here - there are certain writers whose stories i always jump on when they post - i know their style, i love their writing. it's like reading popular fiction - if you like Stephan King's style (for example), you're going to buy/ read pretty much anything he puts out cause you already know you'll enjoy it.

if u read ancient spiritual and shrine peoples life u will find the true way of love with orgasm (cum), after many worthy reading on sexual life enjoyment i realized there is a very strong will power method to look deep into the eyes of opposite person until u find the real person and real thoughts(subject actually picturing in brain with the support of heart) running in that person whole powered behave.
if u(any or all users) want an experience just use this few steps i would suggest u must have to act until u find the true reaction abt gal cum.....
1. use u r face to face sitting looking into the eye ball of each other
2. use ur breath to mix in the aroma of ur body to each other without touching
3. concentrate in the eyes of each other and just feel fantasy doing sex with each other
4. go on until u find arousal in ur love making parts of body
5. stay cam dont close ur eyes
6. tears will come from ur eyes till u don't close ur eyes
7. hold ur hand in others hand
8. make sure u r becoming close to each other without making body touch except hands
9. all this needs both person must have same desire to do
10. if this is not happening u will find the other is lier and just want a sex
i find a vibrator works better.

i am crap at picking titles, tho i do tend to go with the same method DD uses - something that isn't blatant and that kind of fits the overall tone of the story - that said, if anyone wants to take over actually titling my stories, i'd be ever so grateful
edit-i broke my rule and titled two stories rather rudely, but the point of those stories was to write a tongue in cheek really over the top nasty story with everything and the kitchen sink thrown in, just to prove a point - and, of course, the damn think ended up earning me a badge for famous stories *sighs*

oh crap, i just started writing a story that doesn't fit into this... and i'm totally committed - can i just do my own thing and still enter? 
like when are we going to have the 'do your own theme' contest OR better yet, the Figging contest!
in all seriousness, thank you for all your generousity with the prizes. hell, far as i'm concerned, just winning is prize enough, but hey, the kitties need new shoes! good luck everyone - damn, we have a huge talent pool here - this is going to be crazy!

sheesh. she's joking, people. the boss has a wicked sense of humor, trust me on this. actually, what i've heard is that she's going to start auctioning off her undergarments to pay for the new server (is why i've been pinching my pennies! i plan on putting in serveral bids!).

my recommendation: go Lelo. Seriously, they are a little pricey, but there is no better vibrator on the market. rechargable (if you use them a lot you'll save a ton on batteries) durable and omg amazing. here's the link for the Lyla2 which is a remote device. approved by kitties and their owners everywhere!

i will tell you that one thing i don't like about this is the controller also vibrates, so if you're a in quiet place, it's not as discete - it's great for clubs or parties, but not for playing at the mall - if quiet is a deal breaker for you, i'd go with another brand - if not, this is the one i'd pick.
