Do we forget KIDS like Lego toys too? I was sharing my adult version of
this hobby with my young cousin, while being overlooked by my uncle. I was
showing off the recent folders on B-Shelf. My Uncle wasn't happy when we
came across that picture. He saw it as a sex picture rather than a picture
regarding Legos. I don't agree with it passing moderation, so I thought I
should bring this to your attention. Wasn't the reason B-Shelf started to
moderate was to make sure all the stuff on the site was acceptable for all
ages? Haven't pictures of an even less questionable nature been deleted?
I don't mind what the final outcome of this is, my cousin is gone, but that
is not to say Joe Bloe's cousin isn't looking right now...

To me this clearly says that there are no rules to moderation and when there
is a question about content, the admin don't care.
Take this as you will...
