People are helpful to me and I'm a complete newbie.
Maybe it's not them but you.

That was quite a hearty vent right there.

First, regarding Jampot's statement:

That's how an internet forum works. When you make a post you're standing on a box in the middle of a street and shouting. Many people will probably walk on by, often without even noticing you are there. Generally there is no guarantee that someone will stop and listen. Some people might stop by your box in the middle of a street, pass a comment, then move on without adding anything else. Conversely, sometimes people will gather around you and your box, providing their own comments and conversation. That's just how it goes. So no, this forum is not just "for the pros". On the contrary, many of the "pros" frequent these forums less and less as time goes on.

Now, let's look at the responsibilities of a Moderator. The relevant definition of the verb "moderate" is:

That is the job of a moderator. And that is what the BiM moderators endeavour to do. Their role as moderators does not specifically include acting as teachers or tutors.

I will not address your personal attack on Lechnology further than to say this: He fills his role as a moderator (as I just outlined) well. How he conducts himself as a regular user is his business.

It's not solely up to moderators to go reply to and help everyone that makes a post. Nor do I think it's fair to attribute this responsibility just to those who have been Brickfilming for longer. It's up to the community as a whole. There's nothing stopping newbies from helping other newbies. If you're posting things and wanting feedback and/or help, go and provide your own feedback and/or help on other people's threads. In the immortal words of Captain Planet...

Lech's post is better than mine.

I've found this helpful in the past. I may talk about my romantic frustrations with unnerving frequency in the chat, but we are usually willing to give people some quick advice on brickfilming stuff, too.

Thank you Smeagol for taking the time to read my initiating thoughts on the forum, I appreciate you telling me my grammar is bad, but honestly I really don't understand, I am young, but not a child, what I don't understand is, when you critique my writing and say my grammar is terrible, you really get me lost there, I spell all my words as correctly as possible, I put plenty of commors, I have full stops, if its the not putting capitals, after every paragraph thats bothering people, well, were not all perfect, and I am not writing an essay.

With that being said, I am not really angry, infact, I am more frustrated, that this topic has not been raised previously, for what reason I do not know.

But I believe that as a community, a brickfilming community, it is important that we all bind together and help each other out, as you said when you started off you had people with your level critiquing your work, we don't really even have that now, for my level, it's like it doesn't even exist, back when the site started, I would imagine everyone was new to brickfilming and due to this, the site was a lot more stable, and more user friendly, it would have been a lot more helpful cause everyone seemed to be on the same level.

Now the community has professional brickfilmers, then great brickfilmers, to regular, then to newbies, due to this it has killed balance of the community, and the professional brickfilmers keep more to themselves, than how it once was.

Thanks Nemo for your completely irrelevant post, if your getting the help needed, then this thread is NOT for you, this goes out to the people that are experiencing the same same treatment as me, which is un-fairness, and under equal to everyone else.

Also in my own defense, when I mention these ''Rude'' members, the reason for their mention is the fact, they will respond on a thread post, whether it would be for asking for critique, or whether it was a question on how to achieve something, instead, why I call these people ''Rude'' is for them responding to my thread, that has nothing to do with my thread, isn't that trolling? Isn't that sort of like harassment?

I mean does someone need to tell me that I double posted when I clearly realize I did? I mean is that really an offense, I understand people don't like it, and I didn't exactly realize that it was 7 hours ago, that I had posted the thread, had I known, I wouldn't have bumped it so early.

And that is the exact point I am trying to come to, since people are new, of course they want to share their work, and are excited to hear peoples thoughts, but when people don't respond and let threads die, we lose those people, those amateurs lose hope and faith, thinking their work wasn't good enough, to make a commuinty grow, it is important and vital, for everyone to try and pitch in and do their fair share, especially the old timers, since they have alot more knowledge and understanding of the concept of what this forum is about, which in reality, we do not see.

This is not an attack against any member, rather a freedom of speech, of goodwill if you will call it, to make a better commuinty out of this place, and to do this, its important that everyone wants to accept the fact, it really isn't just me, I mean seriously you can pick on me, say your getting treated fairly, that everything is great, when in all reality it really isn't just me, and you got to stop pointing fingers, and accept the fact, this place, could use alot more encouragement, along with dedication and motivation in supporting most of the people on this forum, who are amateurs, these amateurs, are helping all of you greater brickfilmers, by critiquing your work, being excited to give you a thumbs up for a great film, motivating you to make more, because they love your work, letting you know how great your film was, and let me ask you, what do you do for these amateurs? When they put up a film, that really isn't of great standard, you just let it pass you by, and the thread dies, and this trend continues to go on, to this day, why do you blame me, and say its just me?

I don't have an attitude, and even if this post may make me sound like I am angry, don't be deceived, I am not angry, I am frustrated, agitated, I am deprived, and I am upset, that such a site with such potential, could be lacking so much encouragement, and dedication towards these new brickfilmers, is it so much to ask, that people just be a bit more generous of their time, to leave a post or critique for peoples work, to send off helpful tips even if they don't have a clue about the damn software? I mean we all started from scratch didn't we?

You'd be a hypocrite, to say, I know everything about brickfilming that when I started, I was just as good as I am now, which your not, we all start off as noobs, some longer than others, so why does it bother people to leave motivating messages to new members, to give them a head start of that motivation they need to keep on pushing, and getting better.

I read on threads, that people are lacking motivation, and being bored of lego, why do you think this is?  Its because of the lack of motivation and dedication, and encouragement, from the older users of this site.

Lechnology
There is way to much sarcasm from you, especially being a moderator, I do my own dirty work, and I do practice when I can, but what must I do everything on my own, when I have a community, that's meant to help out new comers, and people new to the software, what are we meant to do Lechnology do you expect us to watch youtube videos all day, learn all the basics of AE then to ask you the question which pretty much could be said in a whole paragraph?

You talk about Lamborghini's like you have a clue, if you had any knowledge of how a Lamborghini works, then you wouldn't even be wasting your time here, so please stop being a hypocrite, and focus on what the real issues are.

If your going be blunt, and arrogant, its better you don't post nothing at all, of course perhaps, you have helped several people, which in that case, I applaud you, but you have not ever helped me out what so ever, and for this, I have mentioned you, if you are not going to be helpful, and just use sarcasm then why even bother posting?

Is it really just me? I are you really that self arrogant?

I have never mentioned to you, that I was starting off in photoshop or gimp, so I do not know what you are trying to refer to.

I do not want or ask you to hold my hand, and I never refer to you to be my guidance of answering every single question I have, but all you seem to do, is when I have thread you seem to read it, and then rant at me telling me to check tutorials, and do this and do that, but you never ever tell me how to actually complete the process, that's why your posts are irrelevant and pointless, for this reason I mention you being unhelpful because you are unhelpful towards me, I don't know how you are with everyone else, but with me you do not help what so ever.

PushoverProduction As said everyone has their own opinion of how things work around these forums, I have posted what I feel is bothering me, The script writing agency, I had actually spoken to 3 or 4 of the script writers, none of them ever wrote the scripts that I had asked for, they said they were either to busy or they had no time on their hands, one of the scripts I had received was encrypted I never got it UN-encrypted after that. Yes thank you for sending me a script, if you did not realize, I am an amateur not a pro, so I do not why your ranting that you gave me a script and that I did not complete it, I had things going on in my life that did not revolve around your script, and your script isn't the first I had received, but these were projects I'd obviously had in mind to finish some day.

I am allowed out of free will to speak the words of truth, saying I am disgusted with this service, which is not the words I believe I used, but it is expressing that the scripting agency was obviously not doing their job properly, and it fair to put in a customer response if you would call it that. EVERYONE has the right, to put feedback bad or good get use to it, people need to know, and see on how they can improve, and what they are doing wrong.

I do not highlight your name so people can see how awful they are, this is your own words, and not mine, I highlight them to show you, that they are names, Lechnology has his name highlighted, being a person, I do not have to explain why I highlight names, but the reason you have stated is not correct, and of your own terms, which frankly bothers me, you would try to put words into my mouth.

I believe you don't know what I am saying since as you said you didn't read my full initial post which in future, they be better on your part, before you go sticking fingers at me and blaming me, it is funny how you and other people have the urge to point fingers right at me, when I say that this community could do a lot better with more people helping out, and with more encouragement, and dedication to posts, its like people on here are corrupt, and don't want to help out even though they claim they do.

Come on Pushoverproductions you make me laugh, you claim that because you wrote me a script, now I am obliged to make you that film? please show me the contract stating that? You can't, so don't point fingers at me, are you going to tell all those number of people that have been given scripts, that have voice acted for films, that NEVER get made? Really? Don't be a hypocrite, your biting where you can't chew. Don't rant on me, because when you say you took time out of your busy life to write me a script, that was a page or so, that it took time out of your life, mate, how busy is your life? If it was so busy how do you have time to make movies, come onto this site make posts, and such? So please don't tell me your life is so busy, everyones life is busy, everyone has personal endeavors, and now I tell you do not see this as an attack towards you, I appreciate you writing a script don't think for a moment I didn't I appreciate everyone that has helped me, but don't expect because you gave me a script, to get a movie done straight away for you, it doesn't work like that, as you claimed you are busy, you don't think everyone else is busy? Or is it just you? cause if you knew, others are busy, you would not brag about it, as you do.

When did I expect the Internet to revolve around me? Don't go ahead of yourself mate, calm down and take a step back, what I have asked is, for a more helpful, encouraging, dedicated site to the vast amount of members on this site which are made up of amateurs, so no I do NOT expect the Internet to revolve around me.

All I would like is to see a better change, everyone is busy, thats no dough, but that doesn't mean you can't spend a few minutes out of your busy schedule to write a few critiques down, possibly do a few voices for someone who is a new comer, AND most IMPORTANTLY, not to EXPECT anything out of the person your helping, in that being said its funny coming from you PushoverProduction, in your sig you have a passage of the Bible, if you knew the Bible, and the Lord, you would know as he saids, you give without expecting anything in return, yet you expect a full movie of success because you provided me with a script years ago. I think you need to work more on your approach to people.

As when you help out someone on this site, your helping them out, you want them to have some motivation now that they have a script given from you, or voice that you provided for one of their scripts, maybe they can't make it, maybe something happened, don't just be quick to judge, are you going to comment on anyone else, who has been given a script, or voices and never done a movie? Think about it for a moment, and don't point the finger at me all the time.

but you judging me doesn't go anywhere, so much for a friendly site, this is why I keep mentioning this, because I put a thread up of being treated differently, along with many other birckfilmers alike, I get all the fingers pointed at me, even from a moderator, which in all honesty is really sad.

I also did not know about the chatroom either.

That being said perhaps, as many have claimed to busy, if possible why not allow certain days of the month/week to be days were amateurs/anyone for that matter can get critiques if their movie is released on the respected day, or on that day to get commented on their movie, to start making this site more encouraging, and not to have so much negative energy, I believe this would be a very positive asset to have for this community. So on certain days of the week or month, to free up time to comment, and make time for new brickfilmers, to have their work critiqued in a positive way, whether its a good film or not, so that people can feel appreciated and we can raise the numbers together, being all brickfilmers, we have to think of ourselves as family, to keep this community alive we all come on, we talk we discuss issues, and occasionally we will fight, this doesn't mean its the end of the world, but it is progress to something better.

Another thing that could be useful Smeagol is once a month, or every few months, to put up a thread to note, who has been most helpful and that we appreciate that person, so that, that person can also get gratitude and know he is being appreciated, and doing the right thing, these small things, can do great things for this community, I am telling you the truth, everything I say is for a more positive approach, and of course I will defend myself, where the blame is irrelevant, especially for this thread.
