Im getting a little tired of some of the mods deleting my Logo pics. The ones
that contain real life people, vehicles, and buildings. Now for some reason,
when I upload on the weekdays, those kind of pics pass. However when its the
weekend, and you upload again since the BrickShelf was having server errors on
Friday.... well... here’s how the story goes....
I went through the trouble of searching google for the right aircraft images
on my 56k dial up. I went through the trouble of using MS Paint and
PhotoImpression as I lack Photoshop to edit those four (4) pics to the correct
size and naming each fighter jet. I also made had to write the pic’s title
called: “Military MOCs - Air Power”, as Im gonna start working on military
aircraft MOCs for my Military theme. After about an hour of doing that, I
can’t upload due to the server error, a message that didn’t show for 2 hours.
I got so mad that I literrally had tension headache and developed a fever of
102.8 degrees. So the next day, I try again as I see that others have been
able to upload pics earlier in the day. Now after I FINALLY upload them, guess
what... the WORK I had done for the hobby I love, the WORK I did for several
hours searching and editing and waiting during the 2 hour upload the day
before, the WORK I have done that got me sick for taking soooo long.... gets
deleted..... :-(
What I don’t understand is that whoever this weekend mod is, he/she doesn’t
seem to recognize the fact that several of my other Military and Ancients
folders ALREADY CONTAIN logo pics that HAS REAL LIFE PEOPLE, VEHICLES, and
BUILDINGS!!! So what I don’t understand is why does he/she delete them when
its apparently OK for the other mods. I’ve also seen other people have logo
pics that aren’t that much different from my own pass moderation.
I use those pics to represent the fact that my MOCs are meant to represent
something realistic. Be they mythological or currently fictional... I want the
viewers to think that this IS what this and that looks like in real life. I
also use them to compare my MOCs to the real thing. Other people have
comparison pics used as the folder logo, why does this weekend mod think that
I can’t have that too?
Please don’t tell me to use Maj.com cuz these military aircraft pics Im making
are “Lego related”. They even deleted my “combiningfeatures” pic which shows
6 different real life military helicopters and the SW Republic Gunship whose
features I will borrow and use on a BIG super-helicopter MOC. I already had
that pic in the MilitaryMOCs folder, deleted it and then moved the MOC pic to
the Military MOCs - Air Power folder. So when it had been approved already,
this person decides to delete it........
Give me a break, weekend BrickShelf mod.
I’d upload those pics on weekdays to avoid you moderating/deleting them, but
since Fall 2004 semester started, Im not gonna have much time during the
weekdays. Im at my community college from 8am to 8pm, working on a Nursing
degree where we have to take hazardous lab classes like MicroBio lab where we
get to work with microbs like salmonella, ecoli, and other forms of bacterium
and viruses.
In other words, my weekdays are already hard, please stop making my weekends
equally difficult by not letting me upload pics of the hobbies I love.
Thank you.

Kevin Loch posted this explanation of Brickshelf policy to the WAMALUG list on
8/25/04:
We discourage the use of “title” images (no matter how creative),
especially those that use words. The first picture is used as the
representative thumbnail for the whole folder and Brickshelf folders
don’t usually contain pictures of words. The first “natural” or
unintentionally first image in a folder is almost always an ideal
representation of what is inside.
As a moderator I usually just mark the entire folder as “Avatar” if the
first image is a “title” image or avatar, even if the rest of the folder
has interesting images. This has the effect of removing it form the
default “recent” view. You will notice that the recent view is almost
always full of interesting pictures of bricks or people and not words or
artificial title images.
In this case I found the rest of the folder contents to be so
interesting I deleted the title images so the rest of the pictures could
be seen by as many people as possible. If you want the title images to
remain that’s fine but the folders will have to be tagged as ‘Avatar’.
I realize this is one of the quirky aspects of Brickshelf but I doubt
you would like the alternative as much.

Hope that helps.
