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 me
to get back to my real job (a precious thing these days...)

You cannot imagine how frustrated I am that moderation is necessary
in the first place.

I thought this had been covered before in enough detail, but here's a recap:
Brickshelf is visited by alot of kids, as well as adults. Because of the
possibility that "unsafe" content could be uploaded, pre-moderation is
necessary. This had been planned for a long time, but due to the significant
internal code changes it would require, had been delayed. Recent events
moved it to a top, essential priority, and it was implemented.
Now that we have moderation features, we are also "cleaning up" all the
off-topic clutter that had accumulated under the off-topic tag. Not
all off-topic tagged content was deleted, just non-LEGO related stuff.
Much of that stuff would be on-topic on Geekshelf, as some users have
already figured out.
