Um, I'm assuming that I found the right person by looking their name up, and
I'm walking their tree. If the folders I see there when I start don't match
up with what I expect to see (because I know who they are and what they put
there before... when I say I hang out on BrickShelf I REALLY mean it... I am
in there all the time and have a pretty good memory of who has posted what
sorts of pics and even how their folders are laid out, in the "know it when
I see it" sense, not that I can recite folder layouts for random users...)
then I would get suspicious.

For example I walked Jeff Stembel's tree a little while ago... I've seen it
before. If I had not seen the wamalug layout pics and brickwars stuff I
expected to see I would have been suspicious that I hadn't really found Jeff.

For another example I was chatting with Troy C. in BL. I know it's him based
on what he was telling me about stuff that only he and I know related to the
Guild. He gave me the link to the top of his tree. I walked the tree,
clearing it fairly quickly. I'm pretty confident in that case that it really
was Troy's folder tree... (plus I found pics of me where I expected to find
them!) but if he's uploading pr0n, we're hosed because I let the whole tree
through quickly.

Remember I was talking about going and finding a person's folder tree and
walking it, not about random folders presented to me when I click on
moderate to start the process. THOSE are not to be trusted. Those are 90%
bionicle it seems, too. :-)

So far when walking I have not yet seen any folder trees that aren't what I
expected to find but I do know there are a couple of ringers out there
namewise. (where the same name is in there twice or whatever... I've avoided
those for now).

However if this methodology isn't a good one please let me know and I'll
stop clearing people's folders and go back to random folders, where I do NOT
trust the name I see...

(...) Since your doing some mammoth overhaul on Brickshelf right now, I was wondering if you could implement a new browsing feature: by member number. Is there some sort of privacy policy that would break if it was available? I know I would be using (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-02, to lugnet.publish)
