I can certainly agree to this ...
However, given the fact that up until yesterday, there were few (if any)
outstanding problems with inappropriate gallery content:
(1) Would it be reasonable to allow the galleries uploaded *prior* to
yesterday to remain fully active,
(2) to institute full moderation on all uploads beginning immediately, and
(3) to begin a process whereby all previously loaded content is reviewed, and
any further items that are deemed inappropriate are then removed?
It seems that disabling all of the older content is a far-reaching step.
Although I understand the rationale behind it, I don't believe that the
potential risk posed by some inappropriate content buried in a long-forgotten
folder is in proportion with the full disabling of all content. The additional
level of security provided by removing access to all old files would seem to be
exceedingly small.
There are nearly 16,000 folders on Brickshelf currently, and over 150,000 files
(including .mpg, .txt, .pdf, .doc, .xls, and more, in addition to image files).
The amount of time needed to review all of these folders and files is immense.
Kevin, is there any compromise that can be made to alleviate this roadblock?
I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling that this is a crippling situation.
That being said, I want to convey my appreciation for your hard work in making
Brickshelf a tremendous resource. I am also very pleased with the clear
conscientiousness and responsibility that have prompted you to take these
steps. Regardless of how often is is said or implied, it is never enough to
convey the gratification that hundreds of us experience every day when we have
the opportunity to peruse Brickshelf. Thanks!
