Until now Lego Mecha models were spread across the web...

Q. I sell my Lego Mecha creations. Can I by included in the Mecha Hub?

A. This is a sticky question and one which took quite a while to answer. After consulting several lawyers we have decided not to include builders who make a living selling their Lego creations. This means that if selling your Lego creations is your Primary source of income you cannot be included in the MechaHub. The potential conflicts of interest and copyright issues are simply too complex for a fan based website. We will, however, link to websites of Lego artists.

If you sell instructions we can include them so long as you do not make your living selling them.

Of course, you’re free to have whomever you want in your club; but maybe you could have been more forthright:

Marc, while I respect your right to voice your own opinion, please try to keep any potentially flame hazardous remarks off this forum. I humbly request that you keep any comments to a mature and constructive nature. You are of course, invited and encouraged to post any mecha creations here. I am a fan of your works and would love to see what you can come up with.

I’d like to echo Fradel’s response and add only this:

‘e’ hasn’t contacted the Hub either way. While I can appreciate your creativity at twisting the FAQ to suit your own agenda, the question you quoted was asked well before the Hub went live and not by ‘e’. Hence it was neither asked by ‘e’ nor relates specifically to Eric.

If you have any further concerns please send them to me via email as others may misunderstand your concern and think you are trolling.

I have no agenda and no concerns, I just found it amusing (hence .off-topic.fun). You have to admit, it’s funny that you have this policy that (as far as I know) only applies to one person on the planet - but no one will admit it.

Perhaps I’m a bit stupid but I’m not sure what was particularly funny about your post. Was it intended to make fun of Eric? The mecha hub policy? Something else? If the former then it would appear to me that you are bullying Eric. If the second then I think it would be fair to say you have an agenda. If the third then I really can’t understand.

To respond to your second sentence: maybe people won’t admit to the policy being an anti-Eric policy because they feel that would be antagonistic. It has been made pretty clear before by some Lugnet members (not me) that they don’t want antagonism on the site so perhaps people are respecting those members space. They may also have some consideration for Eric’s feelings. Note that as nothing more than a member and participant of the mecha hub I can’t say this is fact or otherwise, just postulation.

Of course you may simply have cunnningly unravelled a grand conspiracy of epic scale. Maybe you should turn your superior deductive skills to uncovering who killed JFK. I’m sure you’d have an answer in no time at all.
