As far as the editing, what do you all think? Would you prefer to have just
the link (and possibly the part of the message related to that link)
removed, and the post pushed live? Or would you rather see the post rejected
entirely with a reason of "Includes External URL" (you can see rejection
reasons in MyComments)?



Jake, for URL's would it be possible to leave them in the message,
but just not make them 'clickable'??? Then the user could just
cut and paste them to another browser window, and it's not really
something that lego.com linked the user through? Maybe that won't
satisfy the powers that be, but it's an idea.

Well, the issue is that providing the URL (linked or not) opens a potential
door to inappropriate content. As Steve put in an earlier post, the goal is
to have a Message Board that anyone feels safe participating in, or sending
their kids to participate in.

Maybe the solution is to allow an image to be optionally supplied with a
message. That way the message and the image can moderated together and then,
since the image is served from the Lego site, there is no possibility of its
content changing to something inappropriate subsequently.

Jake,

I think that pictures of (at least) sets would be essencial.
So, would it be possible to include pics in the msg instead of explicit URLs
?

I don't know how your Tech/Web designer would implement this, but it could
have some extra fields (Pic.1, Pic.2, etc... up to 4 ? 6 ? ) to fill with
Pic URLs and then the user would simply say in the text part "[...] as you
can see on Pic.1 [...] another way is what you can see on Pic.2 [...]"
etc...

Another way would be to translate pic URLs embedded on text to proper pics,
but that would make the text a bit weird to read.

If the pictures can point to oficial LEGO URLs/Pics, all the better.

Just a thought...

mc. :)

PS: I'm not a Message Board user yet.
