Just a question here, what in a sense makes a picture of a lego
fan "questionable" to the lego community?
Yes, I could understand if a picture had pornography (god forbid), or
an explicitely violent or suggestive scene, but photos? If this is true,
than wouldn't all of the pictures of such events as brickwest, and lego
related conventions with photos of patrons be removed as well, or is
this covered by somesort of "specialized circumstance"?
I don't want to rant here, and I'm happy with the free service
Brickshelf gives, but I think there should be a fine line between
acceptable entries, and unacceptable.
The worst thing that could happen would to draw fans away from the
lego community (although I do think some people take it a bit too
hardly, which I can't understand). In fact, I was going to post a
picture of myself on brickshelf. I think photos give a better look
into the antics and "geekiness" of the lego comunity (and not
that it's a bad thing, mind you.)
I remember all the venting that incited when Kevin announced the
moderation, so I'm thankful this at least isn't a post riot.
