Interesting...

I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. When I read my message (after
it had been approved and publicly visible) this morning, I was too groggy to
notice a difference. I notice they trimmed an off-topic comment on the top
(something to the effect of 'just testing the new boards out'), and trimmed
where I signed my name at the bottom.
I'm not comfortable with this happening either. I think all-or-nothing
moderation is far better - perhaps rejected messages could be held in a
folder for each member, with Administrator comments on what is wrong with
them, and a chance for the user to fix them themselves.
From a pending message about the Next Legend I have, I would expect my
comment, "The Monorail would make the perfect Futuron Legend, even though I
know its re-release is an impossibility. :^(" to be trimmed, as well as my
name at the bottom. While great for the kids, I don't like being censored.
I'm doing a fair amount of self-censoring on the opinions I give to those
boards in the first place. I don't see the problem with a signature line of
your name - I'm leaving out a LOT of things I could put in a signature
(email, website URLs, company name, etc etc).

However this does jive with their kid friendly theme. My 7 year-old
daughter just created her own LEGO Web account and I have to say that I feel
much safer allowing her to browse through the LEGO site knowing that someone
is moderating the boards and making it "kid friendly."

I can agree with that for a kid's forum. Definitely.
I'm assured LUGNET isn't being replaced (and I'm sure that wasn't LEGO's
intent either).

I posted a few comments... it will be interesting to see how or if they get
moderated. (as of a few min ago none had been yet). I agree with Tim, I had
already done some self editing on what I said. The comments are positive but
not uniformly so.
(my ID there is obvious... I was lucky as one of the very first people to
sign up, I got to pick the ID I really wanted)

My ID is pretty obvious too (MikeWalsh). How often are they approving
messages? I made a post this morning when I first saw this thread and it
still isn't approved (about five hours ago).

Maybe it's not really quite up and running?
If you go to the front page, www.lego.com, there is (at least for me) a
"message boards" link in the lower left corner which leads to
http://www.lego.com/messageboards/ ... this, for me anyway, is a dead link...
Does it work for other people? I have to go in with the link that was posted
at the top of the thread:

Weird.

Guess who johnnykr is! :)
They moderated my messages in about 30 minutes, however, I posted one with
links to brickshelf's scans for the 'what Legend do you want to see' thread,
it hasn't been approved.

I have posted two messages, neither has been approved. Both contained
off-site URLs.

The link seems to work for me. I probably never would have noticed it if
you hadn't pointed it out, so, thanks.
I posted a message in the "Next Legend?" thread this morning, and I think it
took them three or four hours to approve it.

Just to say, I posted something too.
Wonder how long it'll take mine to go through.
(sorry for such a short post)
Hasta la Vista, Sean
