Some answers to your questions;

Why general: because I posted a general question.
Why post the link: because by saying that there’s an issue in
Brickshelf would cause people to flood over there to see what's amiss.
(By saying there’s a fire in Brickshelf everyone would turn around and
check, but, by  posting a question directly regarding the situation would
hopefully incur some help.)

a lot better by dropping a note to Kevin

That's a good idea, to inform the Brickshelf administrator of the problem.
Yet, I was unaware of who the administrator was, and I didn’t know how to
contact him.

Plus, I also wanted to understand the reasoning behind the individuals purpose!
Did he/she do it for attention…
Did someone hack-into his/her Brickshelf folder and manipulate the image…

I posted to general for assistance… not to be lectured!
I'd hoped that those with the means would do something…
I didn’t post to admin cause Suz usually takes a day to respond…
So I posted to you guys… its up to us to do something.
I saw the problem first, and I asked for assistance.
Hopefully you acted upon your suggestion, that's what
I expected someone to do. For I didn’t know what else to do!

            I was just asking for help,

Just one question, if it was so wrong to bring up the link, why did so many
of you include it in your response…seriously why! I brought it to attention
for purposes of help, surely you could of responded without proliferating
the link? Conversely, you could have e-mailed me with your suggestion and
took action quietly on your own. Action that I didn’t know how to go about!

        Why...

I was wondering the same thing myself. Things like this should not be on
Brickshelf.

And the best way (1) to deal with them is to very quietly drop a note to
Kevin Loch about it. He's fast at fixing those sorts of things, the pic
would be gone and the user banned in a jiffy.

1 - Of course when I say "best way" what I mean is least destructive to the
community. It may not be the best way to draw attention to one's self,
though, were that one's goal. Posting to .general, on the other hand, that
one found a oh so naughty link is an excellent way of stirring up commotion
with one's name attached, if that's what a person wants to do.

So one has to wonder at Richard's motive for posting that. Unless one is
relatively sure one already knows what Richard's motive was, that is.

(...) A simple "How do I contact the Brickshelf administrator?" would have produced the required information fairly swiftly. And discussing the "Why?" belongs much better here in .debate. ROSCO (22 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) That raises a good point. The logical place to look for contact info specific to a site is typically the site's "front door", in this case www.brickshelf.com (contrast with LUGNET(tm) which has a clear way to contact admins on the front (...)
