    Re: Geekshelf Question - Vehicle Question —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) Well put. I think cars can be geeky even if you haven't done unusual things to them. (like some of the tricked out Audis on that one page are) I once had 8 cars under my control (7 that I had title to and one that I just had custody of) but (...)

        Re: Geekshelf Question - Vehicle Question —Frank Filz
   (...) It sounds like we really need a good policy description of what is and is not allowed. I was under the impression that in the past, at least small amounts of personal stuff were allowed (as they help illustrate the person who's LEGO or geeky (...)

     Frank & All, (...) Indeed. (...) I can understand why it is needed, but it is frustrating sometimes. (...) Indeed. I think someone (or several examples) of porn related items, I saw a few of them from time to time, and Kevin decided to make this (...)

        Re: Geekshelf Question - Vehicle Question —Kevin Loch
   (...) You might have a point. This has suddenly become a full time activity, and is taking alot of time away from other (paying) work. Maybe I should just shut the gallery down to save everyone the trouble of fussing over what's on-topic and allow (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)

How about cross referencing Brickshelf and Lugnet so that those with Lugnet memberships are trusted users? That would (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)
     
          Re: Trusted Users (was Re: Geekshelf Question - Vehicle Question) —James Brown
      (...) Just as a note, folks - this is what currently is (at least for current content; I'm not sure about new). Most of my folders are unmoderated, but they're still quite viewable on my webpages here: (URL) "view now and moderate later" is (...)

     (...) Likewise. I'd also be happy to pay a small fee to ensure that status-- I'd bet that those who seek to use the site to post idiocy and offensive things would be unwilling to put any amount of money where their mouths are. Nothing too crazy, (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)

Well, I agree to some extent, I think it is bad when people upload things that have to be monitored. However, some of these monitoring issues are (...)

         Re: Trusted Users (was Re: Geekshelf Question - Vehicle Question) —Chris Maddison
     (...) Agreed. The way I see it (if I may be so bold to suggest this) We all pay $10 (or whatever). Kevin gets money to help run the site and whatnot, and we get to be moderation-free and instant-uploady. Now, of course, if someone directs Kevin to (...)

         Re: Trusted Users (was Re: Geekshelf Question - Vehicle Question) —Tim Courtney
     (...) Sure, I'd even pay $10 to help Kevin out with the site and to have trusted user status. I'm very interested in seeing a solution to this. Brickshelf is a great (free) resource and I applaud Kevin for it. I understand totally his potential (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)

        Re: Geekshelf Question - Vehicle Question —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) You will want to revisit that strategy, I think. You should always have backups of things that you consider important, and not rely on external facilities to keep them safe. Brickshelf has never ever promised that your images were backed up, (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jul-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)
