Please, LEGO fans, use your brain before uploading stuff online!

Hi Holger,

Your request may not be heard. Most of the people uploading such junk, whether it’s out of focus, poorly lit, too low or too high resolution pictures are mostly kids who don’t read Lugnet...it might be better if you posted this on BZ Power or wherever they congregate.

I really liked your overview on how to present good Lego pictures. It doesn’t take any high priced equipment to do a good job when you take some care and take your pictures outside, on a tripod, and rescale them, just as you say.

But the problem is, you’re telling the people (Lugnet, 1000steine) who probably aren’t the people causing your grief. Those people don’t read Lugnet.general, and they probably don’t care anyways.

Also note that poor Kevin is still moderating all the folders himself. It’s really tough for him manually check every photo, so short of illegal content, he can’t be that critical (or may not want to be).

I have now idea if it's practicly feasable, but maybe have a text file automaticly uploaded in every new brickshelf acount, containing basic reccomondations plus a link to more extensive information, would be another chanel to educate at least (...)
