I like that idea. Silently deleting a submission (without an email being
sent out) should still be possible, though.

"Make it so" ;-)

i'm not necessarily as concerned that they can still see it in the 
queue (how about if they can just send a query form to the database, or 
if their submitted articles show up on their profile page??) ... what i 
would like to see is:

  - email sent when they submit the story, potentially showing the 
article's position in the queue ("Thank you for your submission; it's 
currently the 125th item in the queue.")
  - email send when deleted, but allowing a checkbox for reasons; i.e. 
"duplicate" or "irrelevant" etc.  not sure exactly how this should 
work, but I usually delete stuff because it's a duplicate or because 
it's just plain stupid, so those two should be options :).

On a longer-term bigger-picture item, what I want to do is be able to 
add assistant editors who do NOT have any publication rights. I want 
them to review and edit stories, check for duplicates, indicate 
"delete" or "publish," and then submit them to me. At that point, i 
have a submission queue that just requires my final approval over "yea" 
or "nay" on each story, and I shouldn't have any editing work to do 
(assuming I have good assistants). As assistants earn "trust," they can 
get publishing rights.  I thought about faking this by just forcing the 
"draft" flag on everyone other than my user ID, but I'm not sure that 
captures all the possible scenarios (couldn't they still delete from 
the queue?).

Rob, I can see why you want the email sent.  Your second item about 
tying a reason to a deleted submission was one I already mentioned.

You longer term stuff makes sense but is more work so I will combine 
your ideas and mine into one feature request and the additional stuff in 
a seperate one.

Just an FYI that I have updated Gforge to version 3.21.  FWIW, it is a 
bit of a pain to upgrade Gforge.  Anyway, report any problems you may have.

Our Pair hosted site, www.geeklog.net, is down complaining with a MySQL
