I don’t post here on LUGNET all that much anymore, though I lurk a good bit.
Over the years, I’ve seen (as I suspect we’ve all seen) many an eager AFOL
happily post a message to share an MOC, only to post a less happy message a few
days later when no one has offered even the slightest comment. If the MOC is
posted on Brickshelf or Maj, then the poster can naturally see the “views”
counter, but it’s somehow more satisfying to read someone’s feedback, even if
it’s as simple as “nice job!” or the like. But you know that it’s intensely
frustrating to pour your creativity into an MOC only to have it sink into
obscurity soon thereafter
So here’s the challenge, for all who check in on LUGNET once per day or so.
Each week, find someone’s announcement about an MOC and post a purely positive
(but honest) comment about it. Nothing snarky, and nothing back-handed: no
posts like “it sucks less than most of your stuff.”
If possible, make it about an MOC with few (if any) comments already posted.
This may require a bit of digging, but that’s why it’s a challenge! Poke around
in groups that you don’t normally visit. Comment on an MOC by someone with whom
you don’t usually get along.
I got the idea after seeing Simon Smith’s
HMS Inevitable go without a comment
for five months in the Boats group. Simon clearly put a lot of effort into this
ship, and it bummed me out that no one had replied.
It’s my thought that this sort of interaction will help boost the ambient
friendliness of LUGNET. And at worst, it’ll make someone feel proud of an MOC
that they’d thought no one had noticed.
If you don’t step up and say something nice, I’m going to sneak in and replace a
goodly fraction of your LEGO collection with Mega Bloks from my stash, and
I’ve got enough to do it, so watch out!
Dave!
Don’t forget to check out The Bloks Forum for
discussions of all manner of construction toys.

It really doesn't take that much time to comment on something (except pirate MOCs in my case). When I made my post I (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Indeed I do, Dave. I posted a couple of Western MOC's to said newsgroup and got no replies. Of course, that newsgroup's activity is extremely low since the theme is gone for now and there doesn't seem to be a big fan base on Lugnet. I wasn't (...)

| (...) I would have to tend to agree completely with this. BUT... Based on the trend of lugnet not being the hub of MOC building/showcasing anymore, I can understand to a large extent why this does not happen here. This has been pointed out before, (...)

| (...) I more or less agree with you. I am not very active on lugnet but often what I have seen appears to be more effort into arguements between certain members than providing comments or constructive criticism of MOCs. It is a bit of a let down (...) (18 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| Hi Dave, Hi all, here are my thoughts on this topic. The no-commenting-behaviour is not only a lugnet specific thing, I also observe it at the 1000steine forum. And I must admit that stand on both sides. Either posting a MOC and gaining little (...) (18 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| Hey Dave, This sucked less than your usual posts! ;) A good challenge. I go in fits and starts. I'll try to post a lot of feedback, but then get busy with other things, so it was a good reminder. I just went and gave feedback to two MOCs and will (...) (18 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
