It is a cliched topic, yes, but I don't think it is fair to completely rule it out. I think any story has the potential to be good if it is told correctly. Sure, I've deleted a butt-ton of stories like the one you mentioned, but I think it's a bit extreme to say "No. You can't have this element in your story." We, as users, can encourage authors to think outside the box a bit and come up with more abstract ideas than the tired ones, yes. But I think that completely outlawing this one element is a bit absurd. What if that was the one small element in an otherwise great story that could've made or broke it? We review things here on a case by case basis, and we should keep it that way.
