I’m not gonna bother refuting points in this one.

There was really nothing to refute. I was merely expressing my OPINIONS about
your guidelines. I was asking an honest question about rule #5 though. What
does it mean and was it meant to be sarcastic. I have no problem following a
set of rules that are understandable.
I also believe that moderating and judging “crappy MOCs” is wrong. How is a
“newbie” supposed to grow and learn if their “crappy mocs” are always being
deleted? To me that is the most offensive part of your rules. My opinion... I
may participate in your discussions but I probably will never post a MOC there.
I create to please myself not you or your forum.

One good point, I believe I’m going to change the word “rules” to
“guidelines”. They are just guidlines and it’s totaly up to the mods to
decide what violates those guidelines and what doesn’t.
The gist of CSF is this: Have fun, don’t be annoying. Your post = annoying.
Why? Because I don’t like it? No, because it’s exactly what the
“founders/leaders/moderators/whatever” have come to hate about Lugnet:
Making big things out of little things.
So, basically, if you don’t get it, too bad.
|
The thing that you don’t seem to get is that what is a big deal to an individual
may be chump-change to another and vice-versa. To me, the beauty of lugnet is
that you ARE free to express your opinions and “make big thingies out of little
thingies”. In the grand scheme of all the world/universe, a group of nerdy
adults playing with childrens’ toys and talking about it on the internet is
probably a little thingie.

Trying to defend my little project here, is making me sound more and more
like a bad guy, and frankly I don’t care.
|
I think that there are some people here that are upset and see your actions as
divisive within the lego.space community. My only issue was the tone of the
guidelines. You could have chosen a softer way to convey the same ideas and
probably not turned me off right off the bat. Consider that constructive
criticisim rather than an attack.
| |
I seriously did not expect the forum to become as big of a deal as it has,
since I started working on it a week ago. But it sure has taken off over the
last 2-3 days hasn’t it? Lets just see how it goes, if it’s so uninviting as
you say people will leave. And that will only leave us big fish, all alone by
ourselves. Seriously, what can it hurt to at least find out?
|
Thats why I checked it out. I’m not really trying to attack you or your
project. I’m just trying to understand the rules of the road before posting
there. Since that post would have been modded or deleted... I guess I would
have gotten off to a bad start.
I don’t know how your site will prevail over the long term. Only time will
tell. Like I said, I do wish you the best of luck.
