[1] Last week I uploaded some images to BoardGameGeek. They were promo stations for Paperclip Railways themed to various games and part of a sort of Easter Egg hunt.
[2] I uploaded them to various games (all were Surprised Stare Games games apart from a cheeky one for Agricola - mea culpa).
[3] They were all approved.
[4] That mythical beast, 'Someone', complained about none/one/all of the images, apparently.
[5] One of the BGG admins decided to
a) tell me off for doing it (despite point [3]) and
b) move all the images into the PCR page - thereby negating the 'fun hunt' element of the original uploads
[6] Following the fantasy first-of-April fun on Friday, it seems that some BGG admins display a disturbing lack of humour.
[7] They HAD previously approved them, you know?
[8] In a fit of pique, I have asked for the images to be removed.
Every day that jobs-worths and snitches continue to prosper, God weeps fresh tears of regret. Life's essence - that was denied the famine-starved, the drowned and the war-torn - has been bestowed, and nurtured, in the hard hearts of the witless.
The humorless, the prim, the priggish and the po-faced rule!
At first it's just messing about with your uploaded game images; it's a short step from that to arm-bands, bad anthems and Liza Minelli (previous content edited because it cast a bad light on National Socialists everywhere)
Be afraid! Be a little bit afraid!
Last night we played Power Grid: Brazil/Spain & Portugal and Glory to Rome, if you're interested. But don't let THEM hear about it - they'd probably delete your play history and send you a rude email to accompany it...or something.
