This recent post brought me back to
something that’s been bugging me for quite a while here. People rarely comment
on MOCs here lately (with some exceptions like trains). For someone new to a
forum I imagine this is extremely disheartening and would really put me off
posting if I were a newcomer.
So come on people, take the few moments to say something about a new model. If a
post has no responses after a day, make sure it has one before you finish
reading lugnet. This silence is unkind.
Thanks,
Tim
PS. Yes this is a rant.

| Hmmm. Good idea, I guess. Of course, if you read some of the LUGNET groups, only people who post MOCs are qualified to comment on others' MOCs, especially if you have some constructive criticism to offer (see the next comment). And one really (...) (18 years ago, 11-Oct-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Yeah, you're right, Tim. I have been particularily guilty WRT providing feedback as of late (this whole year in fact), all the while lamenting in private the decline of posting overall on LUGNET. I have seen the enemy, and it is me:-) I call (...) (18 years ago, 11-Oct-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Wise words, Tim. Even if it's a simply "nice MOC" or "me too" post, it can certainly be encouraging. I recall that Legomaster Eric Sophie (URL) an effort> to post about MOCs so that posters make a point to reply so that they feel good and not (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| Hi Tim, I totally agree. Your post made me sign in spotlight and answer. This happens very few since my beloved .Mecha is kind of desserted these days. I promise to at least give highlight or spotlight more often now. And as Richie mentioned we all (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| Lugnet is a raggedy dog, dying in the street. That said, I really like dogs, and I'm willing to help get it to a vet. Count me in. -Keith (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| Hello! So I have read all the replies in this thread and decided I'd spotlight that post. (And did so.) That made me think: >Hm, every once in a while I see posts with MOCs and no answers but with like five spotlights. It's nice people like that (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.general)

| Thanks for bringing this up. I have been posting about some MOCs I built this this year and getting occasional responses but sometimes none at all, and I figured either people just didn't think they were that amazing or something. IMO my best recent (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Then there should be a feature for an uploaded MOC to be rated 1 - 10 or something in a poll. Something really quick and easy-- look at the ESPN poll on the front page. It should work that simple and fast. If I have to log in and go through (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)
