I suspect there may be brickshelf regulars who have no interest in posting
improper material.

Since brickshelf knows who's logged in to upload, why not have trusted
accounts. New users only become trusted after "n" good moderated uploads. If
an account is ever complained about, they go from trusted to moderated and
stay there without being able to earn their trusted status back.

I suspect this may reduce the moderator load a huge amount while maintaining
the integrity of the site and the immediacy of uploads for people who
respect it.

What will be the estimated "turn around" time when pictures are uploaded?


Anywhere from 15 seconds to days.  It all depends on when a moderator
gets to it.  Brickshelf does not have the resources to have full-time
staff moderating the gallery.

I think they are going a little farther then necessary...

I think simple "Report this content" buttons would be fine. Let everyone be
a moderator. If the button is pressed the account or picture is held until
it is checked.

This is an outstanding idea!  Kevin, is this easily programmed?  At any
moment of the day, there are lots of responsible AFOLs checking out
Brickshelf.  I'm sure nothing bad would remain up for more than a minute.
You could make it so that once a folder was cleared the button would go
away--so, for instance, once Oliver's add spoof was cleared it wouldn't keep
getting flagged as questionable by people who didn't look closely enough.

Yes, that would be great.  The moderators wouldn't have to check every
image, and they would have plenty of time to look at the few questionable
images.  This would mean that any harmful images would be quickly delt with.
Again, Kevin, is this possible?

This might work for off-topic items, but I don't think this would work for
inappropriate images.  In the most recent incident there was a fairly lengthy
discussion on BZ before I saw the pictures mentioned anywhere else, and the
pictures were apparently in a Bionicle folder (I didn't see them, that info
is from the discussion).  If the actual images appeared on the recent updates
page, it might work, but there are a lot of folders that very few people look
at.  Also, keep in mind that there are now thousands of kids who look at
Brickshelf.  Even if the picture is reported in the first minute, kids will
probably see it.
