         Re: Brickshelf Pic —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) And the best way (1) to deal with them is to very quietly drop a note to Kevin Loch about it. He's fast at fixing those sorts of things, the pic would be gone and the user banned in a jiffy. 1 - Of course when I say "best way" what I mean is (...)

         Re: Brickshelf Pic —Dave Johann
      (...) I agree. This is why I shot off a note to Kevin as soon as I spotted this. I replied here simply because my email has been mildly flakey, so Kevin might not have gotten it and this is the second-best solution for contacting him AFAIAC. As I (...)

     Some answers to your questions; Why general: because I posted a general question. Why post the link: because by saying that there’s an issue in Brickshelf would cause people to flood over there to see what's amiss. (By saying there’s a fire in (...)

         Re: ? —Ross Crawford
      (...) A simple "How do I contact the Brickshelf administrator?" would have produced the required information fairly swiftly. And discussing the "Why?" belongs much better here in .debate. ROSCO (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: ? —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) That raises a good point. The logical place to look for contact info specific to a site is typically the site's "front door", in this case www.brickshelf.com (contrast with LUGNET(tm) which has a clear way to contact admins on the front (...)

        Totally inappropriate pic link given with no warning whatever. —Larry Pieniazek

      Why’d I leave the post in .general & .admin? Honestly, because a general-community outline is needed for these type of situations.
