I will be taking care of reviewing all current and new locations for the United States. Silent Knight will be focusing on the Canadian locations. We will both look after the International locations although in light of the greater number of entries in the US section I expect SK will have more opportunity to look after the International entries. Obviously this is a fluid agreement and we are both likely to cross borders from time to time. We welcome your input on sites that need attention. Please PM us with your concerns. The end of the beginning is the beginning of the end.

That way neither of you have to worry about it. If that's an idea, Turbozutek would be my recommendation. He knows his shit, believe me...

I think once the backlog of sites is reviewed, two LDB moderators will be more than enough to take care of the sites that are added and updated. Keep in mind that we were not "told" to divide our responsibilities we just agreed to so it would be easier to divide the work. The end of the beginning is the beginning of the end.

You think you have it easy Detroit, but "certain" European countries generate more pics and responses than I think that you are prepared for! Good luck, you'll need it, and ohh, a spare week or two. At least the pics are good, so that isn't an issue. Have fun. I got your tour winner right here pussies, at least he'd crash out trying.

For example deleting black photographs... and... ummm no, thats it, deleting black photos... But i would hate to see peoples natural responses to what they are seeing censored!! I don't really think thats needed, and god it would take some doing in certain countries locations ;o)!!!! ----------------- Always look twice Silent Knight  Location: Niagara region Gender: Male Kastle Archives Productions Inc.

Can I expect to see: I HAVE DELETED YOUR POST, REASON: OFF TOPIC The picture was of a brick, and you mentioned wood. On everyone of my pics ? That would suck. Chris... There's no real 'carved-in-stone' criteria or guidelines, but as I posted in another forum thread on this - Av provided the following general suggestions: - inappropriate imagery, links, and content - vandalism (removing information or defacing the data in the location) - Excessive bad photos (ie, photos that are just black) - Double posts of the same location under two names - Panoramas that should really be gallery images Obviously there's going to be conflicting opinions and we're bound to have a few people upset with any deletions we make. Can't please everyone. Folks should also keep in mind that since there is already a massive backlog of existing LDB entries, some mistakes may happen along the way. Going through all the locations isn't gonna happen overnight, either - Detroit and I can only go through`em time-allowing of course. As I've also said before, now's the time to make a little effort and go through your existing locations and see if there's anything additional you can add (or subtract) to improve the overall quality, whether its new/better photos, extra info or background, etc. Obviously we'd much prefer if everyone took a bit of time and made voluntary deletions to their own pic galleries of bad photos (if need be).

It could mean the removal of personal photos (Here is Turbo, he looks like this) that don't focus of a building or object. Also, it could mean the removal of any photoshops made. Which would be a real shame. Can you elaborate on the above rule ? Chris... We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm!

'Dukes  Noble Donor Gender: Male At least someone llikes me  |  |  Re: LDB Responsibilities <Reply # 9 on 10/30/2004 1:52 AM >   Exactly; in Scotland for example, the comments are more priceless than the picture, not that the pictures aren't good. A year ago, mod's would be kind enough to delete duped pics, but I don't see that anyonmore. Don't mess around with with banter on the LDB; It's ten times better than the forum.

If they're not sure, they'll ask other mods. The only reason there's rules is to prevent flamewars about "some %$*&@##&%$$!!!! mod deleted my pics!!!",. they have reason to say: "We deleted it because of ....."

Myself, I'd only delete comments if they contradict the website's forum rules (revealing points-of-entry, personal attacks against other members, etc.). I think everyone is well aware of what constitutes common-sense inappropriate content. As for removal of photos themselves, for now we're mainly gonna concentrate on black images that really don't show anything. Common sense will apply. We won't be a bunch of deletion nazis. Lord knows I've contributed my share of so-so pics and photoshop`d images. I'm not about to shoot myself in my own foot by arbitrarily deleting stuff without good justifications.

We will not delete any comments unless they are seriously out of bounds. Both of us understand that comments are often more valuable or interesting than the photos. However the rules that govern the forum also apply to the comments and stories in the LDB. If something is out of line it will be removed, no if ands or buts. * edit - spelling [last edit 11/1/2004 3:16 PM by Detroit - edited 1 times] The end of the beginning is the beginning of the end. Caput_58  Location: Virginia, USA Gender: Male  |  |  Re: LDB Responsibilities <Reply # 16 on 11/1/2004 3:50 PM >   Heck, I'd take it a step further. I think we should have a mod specifically responsible for deleting craptastic pictures from the forum. They'd scour all the boards for the worst examples of ue photography and put them out of our misery. Perhaps over time, the bad photo mod's powers could be extended to deleting any post where someone suggests that 'orbs' in a photo suggest paranormal activity.

The way I try to look at it is that it's not an artistic photo gallery, it's a DB of UE related sites. As long as the pictures are clear enough to show something worthwhile related to the site they have to stay. Besides, orbs are fun. The end of the beginning is the beginning of the end.

Infact I take photos just so people can see a bit and can go explore more. You want great shots come on down and take then then remove mine. Im not trying to flame but honestly, I think they have enough to do without diveing into opinion.

Has anyone had their pictures or comments unfairly removed yet? I don't think removing blurry or duplicate photos will be a problem, it's not too hard to tell the difference between a good but fuzzy photo and one that adds nothing to the location.
