Kevin Loch posted this explanation of Brickshelf policy to the WAMALUG list
on 8/25/04:
We discourage the use of “title” images (no matter how creative),
especially those that use words. The first picture is used as the
representative thumbnail for the whole folder and Brickshelf folders
don’t usually contain pictures of words. The first “natural” or
unintentionally first image in a folder is almost always an ideal
representation of what is inside.
As a moderator I usually just mark the entire folder as “Avatar” if the
first image is a “title” image or avatar, even if the rest of the folder
has interesting images. This has the effect of removing it form the
default “recent” view. You will notice that the recent view is almost
always full of interesting pictures of bricks or people and not words or
artificial title images.
In this case I found the rest of the folder contents to be so
interesting I deleted the title images so the rest of the pictures could
be seen by as many people as possible. If you want the title images to
remain that’s fine but the folders will have to be tagged as ‘Avatar’.
I realize this is one of the quirky aspects of Brickshelf but I doubt
you would like the alternative as much.

Hope that helps.

No it doesn’t help because it doesn’t explain these two recently approved
folders. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=97346
