I completely agree with you.

to me brickshelf is a place where people show off their cities, of spaceships.
I only saw violent pictures when I was reading a lugnet post about a brikwars
game.  THIS IS SICK.  If you have pictures like this, either keep them to
yourself or put them on your own website.

What happened? Someone with admins-rights at Brickshelf deleted the
'me-picture' of Juergen. Is a picture of a Lego-Fan really too off-topic to be
published in the main folder of a personnal brickshelf gallery?

I know, Brickshelf is a no-cost-offer and so we might be not in a position to
demand anything, but I wanted to share this info: Juergen leaves the
brickshelf from now on, and this really concerns me. Our never too big
community of AFOLs looses more and more fans that are fed up with the
community.

I realized this at lugnet as well as on the 1000steine.de board. Lots of
people move back into just private channels of e-mail. And with this movement
of lots of interesting discussions into none-public parts of the net we all
loose some interesting aspects of our hobby. That's really bad.

In the case of Juergen, he left a very emotional text on brickshelf, that
possibly never might get published. So I wanted to give here the direct link
to it. I think this is worth to be overthought:

I myself have to agree with Juergen: I do not understand, why a picture of a
Lego-Fan gets deleted in brickshelf, while really bad pictures are published
without any problems as it seems.

I think the picture of a gunman that shoots cowardly from a window to the
street is by far more than just a sign of 'bad taste'.

This picture is proof for the fact, that some kind of censorship is a must
have, but I think the rules of censorship at brickshelf are still something
that needs to be discussed.

Leg Godt!

(...) I don't see what the big deal is. Personally I like the guns and depictions of violence and bloodshed. But maybe that's just me.
