I hope this isn't exactly a 'hole' in the moderation process. I'd like to be
able to upload models and then pass them to other people without them being
approved and entered into the gallery.
It may be a bit of a grey area though if LEGO have to store models that they
don't approve of in order to fulfill someone's order, and those models become
accessible to others via a URL. It's totally understandable that they wish to
moderate anything that goes into the public gallery, as that's the first thing
visitors may see. However, LEGO are still likely to have a problem with an item
that appears obscene but is selectable by anyone via the URL.
I doubt it would even be acceptable to LEGO to have a disclaimer before you get
to see any model you deep-link to.
I certainly don't want to have to wait for approval before I buy any model. I
also don't want to have to wait for a moderator to decide whether a model is too
close to an existing one before I can pass on the URL to other people. I
suppose we would end up trading .LXF files if moderation becomes too onerous.

P.S. Thanks for passing on the issue of the 1x1 plates.
