Briefly addressing a couple of things, Kevin is your authoritative source...

I did not delete this one. But I DID look at it pretty hard, several times
and marked it "unsure" each time. NOT beccause it's porn. An image of a very
pretty girl suggestively and lasciviously manipulating an upright round,
hard object with an expression of joy on her face just before she takes it
into her mouth is *not* porn. At least not these days it's not. It's just
commercial art. :-)
My issue with it was the trademarks and copyrights... Spoofing other
people's ads may not be legal in the US and Kevin has said to watch out for
stuff like that. So every time I looked at it, I ducked. I marked it unsure
and went back to moderating. By the way I walked your entire directory and
cleared everything else in it that hadn't yet been cleared.
If it was deleted, someone else deleted it but I don't know who.
There is no facility to cause a note to go to the submitter at this time. I
suppose that would be a good enhancement... would you prefer that BrickShelf
had been off the air till Kevin got the entire interface perfect?

I suspect he's pretty busy. I hesitated to answer at all. I'm scared that I
am talking out my butt based on incomplete knowledge and worse, that I might
say stuff that might jog Kevin's elbow and cause problems. That,
regrettably, has happened because of stuff I said in the past, for which I
apologise.

| Without knowing the details on how the moderating works, it does worry me a bit that this image was visible on Brickshelf and accessible from the Recent folder for some non-trivial length of time. In view of the massive unavailability of folders (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.publish)

| Hi Kevin, first I want to thank you for providing the LEGO fan community a central place to exhibit their creations on unlimited free disk space. I don't want to miss it. BUT if you restrict it too hard, people are going to seek for alternatives and (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.publish)
