I never said that these posts were going against the TOS. That was one of
my points. Maybe its time that Kevin re-evaluated some of the points of the
TOS.

Seriously these images are BARELY Lego related. But besides that I think
that completely flooding the Recent Updates with ANY image should be
addressed.

Yes I saw that as well. Steve mentioned what happened.

What does this have to do with whether or not these avatars *should* be
posted to Brickshelf. Just because some guy on a completely unrelated
website recommended that these pictures be posted to brickshelf does not
mean that they should be. I really don't see how this backs up your
argument.

Not really. I like Bionicle in moderation. They have some nifty parts. I
think that they ARE (as alien as they may be) Lego. My problem is with the
wave after wave of annoying pixelated drawings that I feel are flooding
(Abusing) BrickShelf.

At the very least I think Kevin should consider taking *some* action. Not
just for these images but for all of the other junk that is taking advantage
of BrickShelf. Maybe in the future he could have some moderators weed out
offensive content.

Exactly. Why??
