Of course it was. It’s a shame you don’t get that.

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.
|
Thanks to your questioning, I actually now have a better understanding of what
the MOC section is meant to be. I’ll have to clarify this on the forum.
The MOC section is meant as a place to display finsihed MOCs that are to be of
inspiration to others. It’s really meant to be more of a gallery than a place to
show off every little thing you build. The main forum is the place for that.
How to go about managing this is still up in the air. So things will change, I’m
sure.

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.

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.
|
The people that are a part of this are brutefully honest, have perhaps a twisted
sense of humor and don’t worry about rules so much as making sure things are
“right.” So, yes, the “rules” are strong in their wording, but most certainly
lighthearted in their meaning. And people who don’t understand that won’t get
along with us anyway. So it doesn’t really matter. IMO

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.
|
Nah, it wouldn’t have been modded just for questioning, merely explained and
perhaps changed if needs be.
| |
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.
|
Thank you.
