   Hi Holger,

Your request may not be heard. Most of the people uploading such junk, whether it’s out of focus, poorly lit, too low or too high resolution pictures are mostly kids who don’t read Lugnet...it might be better if you posted this on BZ Power or wherever they congregate.

Hi Calum,

yes, I know. Most of the users which really should read this are not acitve on lugnet or 1000steine.

But I do not have the time to go to all other forums to do my missionary work. Jojo did a good job while linking my gallery here at lugnet and I am surprised how many feedback and discussion has started.

So hopefully people reading lugnet and other forums might transport this discussion through the whole online LEGO world?

   I really liked your overview on how to present good Lego pictures. It doesn’t take any high priced equipment to do a good job when you take some care and take your pictures outside, on a tripod, and rescale them, just as you say.

Thanks, I am no photographer but I love to share my experiences.

   But the problem is, you’re telling the people (Lugnet, 1000steine) who probably aren’t the people causing your grief. Those people don’t read Lugnet.general, and they probably don’t care anyways.

Some of them are active at lugnet or 1000steine. My example was caused not by a Bionicle kid with it’s phone cam.

   Also note that poor Kevin is still moderating all the folders himself. It’s really tough for him manually check every photo, so short of illegal content, he can’t be that critical (or may not want to be).

Yes I know. But there are some ideas to make the whole issues smoother:
  1. The brickshelf server uses a kind of resizing batch for the thumbnails. So why couldn’t the filezise and pics ize not be reduced automatically while uploading new pics? Limitations would keep the server space and traffic lower.

  2. Or a routine testing the size of the pics with a simple result: The picture can not be uploaded due to the file size. (Ok that won’t stop blurry, dark pics)

  3. Could there be a voting for other brickshelf-user? If a gallery gets 50 or whatever negative results it will be deleted. So if someone finds a majority of blurry, bad pics so just kick out the gallery.

  4. Kevin could update the upload site with some more warnings, e.g. my protest pic or a link to some basics about editing pictures before uploading them.

(...) This would be a horrible idea. It would be so abuseable to delete pictures from people that for some reason are disliked, or content that someone objects to. Can you imagine how quickly Brendan Powell Smith's Bible pictures would be voted (...) (18 years ago, 7-Sep-06, to lugnet.general)
