First, thanks for visiting. It’s more than some others have admitted to doing.

2 . Proper spelling and grammar count. Do try to make your posts readable!
5 . Beware teh Kevoh.
|
What the heck is up with rule #5? Maybe you ought to follow your rule #2.
|
Heh, humor. I love it. CSF’s and yours.
| |
What is Kevoh anyways and why should I beware of him/it? How the heck am I
supposed to follow a rule that doesn’t make any sense? Having that in there
seems like you tried to interject a bit of sarcasim/humor; but by doing so
kinda invalidates the rest of the rules. “If rule #5 is a joke then are the
rest of them serious or not?”
|
This is very Andy Rooney-ish. But I should mention that rules aren’t invalidated
by humor.

Posted: Yesterday 9:21 pm Post subject: MOC RULES - READ FIRST!
1 . All threads must be MOC announcements. NO exceptions!
|
|
This applies to one forum only. Let me make that clear here to those who haven’t
bothered visiting.
| |
| |
3 . Rainbow warriors need not apply.
7 . All bad MOCs, unfinished MOCs or poor photography are subject to being
locked or deleted at the moderator’s discretion.
|
So what exactly is your criteria for “bad MOCs”? Who is the judge?
|
Anybody who looks at it is a judge, including a moderator. That’s what you get
for showing stuff publicly.
| |
How many
colors can I use before a moc becomes a “rainbow warrior”. What if I just
happen to choose a bad color scheme (like lime green and dark blue?)
|
Use your best judgement as you would when building a show model. Rainbow denotes
a lot of colors. Bad color scheme is taste.
What if you just happen to use it? What if somebody just happens to comment that
it’s a bad scheme? Oh my goodness... somebody communicated their dislike.
Do you post something you think others won’t like? If so, why would you think
that others would want to look at such images?
| |
I don’t know... I’ve read this thread and others that weighed the pros/cons
of starting a new forum. I hate to say it, but after reading your rules, you
do come off sounding like arrogant, whinny, control-freaks.
|
That’s your opinion and I respect your right to have it. Does it apply to all
who have joined CSF as well?
| |
I understand the
desire to want to moderate the endless arguements where no new points are
being made (like the ongoing 10152 debate or blay vs gray).
I wish that lugnet could atleast lock some threads that refuse to die.
|
You bring up something that wasn’t happening and needed to, indicative of the
sluggish movement and lack of responsiveness of the Lugnet giant. In an effort
to accomodate everybody, everything slows it down.
| |
However, judging
other peoples MOCs, their art, as worthy of your site or not and deleting the
ones you feel are not worthy.... well, makes you (the site) sound very
conceited. I hope thats not your intent, but thats the taste they leave.
|
People can feel judged by just about anything include silence, even through no
fault of your own because you’ve been on vacation away from the computer, for
example. All that’s occurring is removal from a forum that does not actually
host images.
“Worthy” is a term that you introduce here, not CSF. Apparently, you’ve read
that into the rules somehow, when it’s plainly not there.
BTW, let me point out that having an MOC Announce forum doesn’t mean that funky
colored prototypes and other unfinished works won’t ever be seen in another CS
forum, such as one designed for asking for help with MOCs. People have already
asked for help in that forum and received it.
| |
I respect your rights to run your site in the manner that you please but the
place does not sound very friendly.
|
Thanks for the respect. Saying that I sound like a control-freak sounds even
more unfriendly though.
| |
I do not know how you expect to draw out
lurkers if people need to re-read their posts 10 times to make sure their i’s
are dotted and their t’s are crossed before posting.
|
The site is designed to draw out those who want to contribute their latest and
greatest, not lurkers. By definition, lurkers don’t post messages or pix. But
they can look all they want, and we welcome that.
Lugnet has plenty of lurkers who have to sift through all kinds of stuff in
.space to try and find what they want. In CSF, they don’t have to sift as much.
