Wow. I am catching up on some LUGNET reading and have made my way through
the latest posts in this thread. Some of these comments are pretty harsh.
My (Our) apologies for this mistake, and any confusion or upset it might
have caused. There are real people working on this project, and as such, we
make mistakes. We are working as fast as possible to get the problem fixed.
To give a little background, we are working on phasing out this particular
functionality, and will be re-launching it in our Club area. This will allow
for improved functionality, as well as increased moderation on our part. We
really appreciate that we have your eyes and ears in the community. With as
many submissions as we get in the course of a week (quite literally
hundreds, sometimes thousands), it is nearly impossible for us to ascertain
the correct ownership of every upload. Thanks for everyone's help in
watching out for image theft.
Let me also say that this functionality is meant for and targeted to kids.
Therefore, not every model submitted or posted is world class, master
builder quality. Many kids don't create models that we adults consider
"masterpieces", but it doesn't make them any less creative or amazing. And
the mish-mash of colors often represents the best color scheme possible from
a smaller part collection. Not every LEGO builder has a huge parts
collection to build from.
Thanks again to everyone for helping us keep an eye on the image theft!
