Bryce-

You may participate more in a forum than others, but there is no special
recognition or status for doing so.  Further, no one is required to post
MOCs just to earn the priviledge of participating in a discussion.

Where did Bryce once mention that posting MOCs is a requirement for
participation? I've read his message numerous times now and I don't see
where he mentions this at all.

I just made a new post where I snipped out the specific issues that I feel
need to be addressed.  Please take a look at it.



By this logic, I should be able to post in .train and have similar
status/recognition as Larry P.? I don't think so.

You are correct that you would not have the same status/recognition.  But
that would not prevent you from sharing ideas or opinions.

Posting MOCs of a certain
type does lend to your credibility as a builder of that type of MOC. The
more credibility you carry, the more you are 'looked up to' and asked for
advice more often within that particular building community.

Again, lack of status or recognition should not limit ones participation in
discussions.

I'd prefer to
ask Lar how to build a train or Shiri a castle then go to Bryce for the same
advice.

Such is the result of status and/or recognition.  I have given thanks where
it was due on several occasions.


I'd agree that while no one is required to post MOCs in order to take part
in a discussion, it certainly doesn't hurt one's credibility to do so.

Here, I have the impression you may have misread me.  My post has nothing to
do with ones *credibility*, that is entirely subjective and open to debate
on a case by case basis.  My point is that people should not have to earn
*any* credibility, status, or recognition just to post an opinion or
participate in an ongoing discussion.
