Oh really? I didn't notice a need for every posting to be reviewed before
being posted. Now everything, including stuff that has been viewed thousands
of times before, is now under scutiny and with just the vaguest of idea of
what is and what is not acceptable. I DO have my own web page with lots of
descriptions of stuff I have built and will surely be adding a lot more
stuff soon. However, I also threw up (no, not barfed) a Brickshelf page to
take part in the broad community represented there. However, this community
is now being scrutinized for content by people who admittedly don't even
know what they're looking for. Moderate away all you want, but I won't
stand for being moderated without representation or explanation - hence my
decision to take not participate.

| (...) That is false. There is one moderator and the rules could not possibly be simpler or more transparent. People's vivid imagination appears to be much more interesting than reality when it comes to Brickshelf moderation. KL (22 years ago, 7-Jul-02, to lugnet.publish)
