The Grief Relief Team

[Powershifter]

We have all noticed the growing trend of unwanted/offensive pics that are uploaded to a creators' level. So a couple of us brainstormed and came up with the idea of having a Grief Relief Team Group here on LBPC.

So how does this work you might ask? It's simple really.

Step 1: You notice you have some offensive/unwanted pics uploaded on a level you worked really hard on - how rude!

Step 2: Why spend all that time trying to upload new pics yourself when others can do it for you? Send a PM to any one of our faithful members in this format:

1. PSN
2. Level Name
3. Date of your request
4. Type of offensive/unwanted pics

PLEASE DO NOT POST REQUESTS IN THIS THREAD.

Step 3: The Grief Relief team member will then post your request on our group page. The team will first check out your level to be sure that there really is offensive/unwanted pics. If there is, then we have a go on our mission! If we think there is no reason to replace any of your pics, then the mission is deemed a 'false alarm.'

Step 4: If we have a go on our mission, we will play your level and upload pics that do justice to your level. If we eventually get enough members on the Grief Relief Team, this should be a quick and routine op!

Step 5: Once the mission is complete, a group member will post on the Grief Relief Team group page that it is complete and that group member will also PM you to confirm our success.

-------------------------------------------------------

So who do you contact if you have unwanted/offensive uploaded pics? Here is a list of our members that you can PM (I will update regularly). Anyone who wants to become a member is welcome! The more members the better! In fact, if you become a member, let us know by posting in this thread.

-------------------------------------------------------

What our group WILL NOT tolerate:

1. Offensive uploaded pics by the creator simply to gain more plays - if any group member has knowledge or reasonable suspicion of this, we will then decline our services to that creator permanently. That decision is ultimately up to the Grief Relief team members. If this becomes a regular problem, I [Powershifter] will keep an unpublicized list of those people and will notify the group if that person tries to use our services again.

2. We do not ask for the PSN's of the people who vandalized any level. If we happen to find out who that person was, we need to keep that information to PM's only. We are not here to single anyone out or ruin their reputation.

3. I feel this needs to be stated clearly: Our purpose is NOT to go after spammers/griefers. We are simply an organized 'Clean Up' team.

------------------------------------------------------

If Mm ever gives us the option to delete/accept uploaded photos from other players, this group will then be closed. But until then, we will work hard to give you the uploaded pics you deserve

Great idea! I love that your focused on the photos and not the offenders. I think it will be a very useful resource for creators who have this problem. Thanks guys and gal

You said post... so i'm posting Hopefully there aren't too many griefers out there in that little big world, but theres nothing we shouldnt be able to solve working together

[Foofles]

I'd love to help but I don't even know how photo uploading works in the first place.

[Drakora]

if you become a member, let us know by posting in this thread.

Well, I joined.

Good question! It's not too hard. Just take pic like normal, then go to your sticker menu, all the way over to your photos until you see the one you just took. Press triangle (I believe.. whatever button gives you 'more info'). Then select 'Upload Photo' and after a little bit your photo will be uploaded on the level you took it from. Once the photo is uploaded on the creator's level, you can delete it from your popit, and it will stay uploaded on their level. Also, when viewing people's uploaded photos on a level, you can press the square button to sift through all of the photos.

I'm not sure how many uploaded photos will stay saved on a person's level, but I think it might be around 10 or so? But I do know that only the most recent 10 photos are displayed, which is why the Good Grief Team can go in and upload some pics until all of the unwanted pics are gone.

So, now that you know what you're doing, go ahead and join the team!

I usually prefer a Gatling Shotgun and napalm explosives, but I think this is a good idea, especially for filtering out those pesky inappropriate photos. I'll help.

[MrsSpookyBuz•]

Good luck with this - it's an excellent idea and very good of you to do it. I'll definately help where I can. Thank you.

[Jagrevi]

This ... is quite cool.

[Powershifter]

Manny_wtk suggested that our team should have an image for our sig, but unfortunately neither one of us has the capabilities to create custom images. Could someone possibly do this for us?

[Morgana25]

I've got photoshop - what are you looking for? message me

[SLS10]

You could always make a logo in LBP itself.

But can one upload pics using the PS3 onto an image-hosting site?

[Morgana25]

yes you can - just upload the photo to your HD then use a flash drive to transfer the photo from your HD to your computer then you can upload to photobucket or similar site.

[Ungreth•]

Count me in, I'll be glad to help out.

[Spider-Jew]

I would like to join the team
