The Grief Relief Team

[mistervista]

I need your help to get rid of some offensive pictures that have just appeared on 2 of my levels if you're still active please.

They're on 'PLASMAVILLE' and my latest level 'LBN: Tale of the Sea contest: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea'.

Thanks.

I've played and enjoyed both those levels. I'm not a GR member, but I am a fan. I'll post a pic or two to get things started.

[Fenderjt]

My new level has been getting bad pictures too.
I think someones going around cool pages and just doing it for no reason.
Ive seen it on a few levels, its a shame people feel the need to do it, selfish people.

Can I join teh Grief Relief team?

This thread is kind of old so I'm guessing a lot of people in the group have quit now...

I think rather than riling up some posse to be called on at any time, this thread should be used exactly as MisterVista has done above. If you notice that someone's level is being spammed, just help them out for the sake of being helpful, not because you belong to some team. That way, there are no obligations.

Why spend all that time trying to upload new pics yourself when others can do it for you?

Just thought I'd point out that sometimes uploading pictures yourself is the only practical way to get rid of unwanted photos, although it's very rare.

Due to a 'feature' of the LBP photo system, it's not always possible to clear out unwanted pictures unless you're the creator of the level. As I posted previously...

The rules are pretty much like this:-

• The pictures displayed will be either all the photos, or a subset of all the photos (up to a maximum of ten) taken by any player while playing that level, and subsequently uploaded to the server.
• It doesn't matter what level you're playing, if any, when you upload a photo, it will always be associated with the level in which it was taken.
• Photos will appear in descending order of the PS3's system time at the point where the photo was taken, so setting your system time to a point in the future will allow you to keep that photo nearer to the front of the list for longer. This is how those people who always appear on in the first photo in the story levels always stay as the first photo on the list.
• Photos taken by the creator of the level will always appear before any other photos.
• You cannot delete a photo once uploaded (although it can and will be deleted by a moderator if they deem it necessary), but you can force a particular photo to no longer appear in the list by uploading enough new photos to push it out of the list. The photo will still be accessible by other means, however.

...so the only guaranteed way to ensure that people can't add unwanted photos is by the creator uploading ten themselves.

As I said, it's very rare that someone would go to the trouble of setting their system clock to a point in the future in order to post annoying photos on a community level (although it's happened on all the story levels), but I just thought it was worth knowing.

I've uploaded around 4 pictures onto 'PLASMAVILLE'. They haven't been uploaded just yet though.

As for 'LBN: Tale of the Sea contest: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea' I didn't see anything that needs to be gotten rid of...

Thanks for that.

There were 4 on the 'Voyage' level. No idea why they didn't appear for you but I've just been into that one myself and uploaded a bunch of new photos anyway. They haven't updated for me yet though.

[mistervista]

Sorry for the double post but they've done it again.

I've just logged on and they've uploaded 5 more to the 'Voyage' level and 6 on 'PLASMAVILLE'.

If the cowardly scumbag had any balls at all they'd identify themselves. I just hope it's no-one on this forum, that would be disappointing.

Anyway your help in removing these again would be appreciated and if anyone has any idea who it is please let me know.

Thanks.

I uploaded 7 pictures on plasmavile and can I join the grief relief team?

[Doopz]

can I join the grief relief team?

*Points towards CompherMC's previous post*

I think anyone who reads this thread should consider themselves part of the "team" as it were. I don't think you have to officially be on the team to help. If you see someone asking for help - take a few minutes and upload a pic or two. I know I really appreciated the service the two times I've had to call on the community for help.

[ScoutsBoo•]

comph's and Morgana's points are spot on.

But, if you do want to officially be a member of the Grief Relief Team, you can join by joining the group in the social groups. When other members catch wind of any need for assistance, the request is posted in the group discussion and Powershifter is pretty diligent about sending out messages to the team requesting help. The group is only as active as the requests are, so it isn't always busy.

It should be noted upfront that the group's purpose is not revenge, it is more of a cleanup and beautify type group. Spreading the love by wiping the hate.

[mistervista]

They have now stepped up their campaign and posted yet more offensive pictures. They are now going round all my other levels too.

Some of them now say 'Euro Trash' which leads me to believe they are american/canadian and it's looking more and more likely they are a memeber on this forum because as soon as there is a post saying someone has uploaded some decent photos they are there putting the bad ones up again.

[mrsvista]

Can people please help out mrv. More and more of his levels are getting these nasty pictures uploaded to them. Help!

[IceMaiden]

I'm so sorry this is happening mrv.

Rhy has just turned on the PS3, on his way to upload some pics for you.

Icey

[mrsvista]

This same person has uploaded the same pics onto my one and only level too. Feel free to take some pics for me. Thanks in advance

[shropshirelass•]

Sorry to hear about all of this happening! I've uploaded some photos onto both the levels MrV mentioned. I noticed that Luos's most recent level has also got the same photos on it so I've added a couple there too. Now onto yours MrsV!

EDIT: MrsV's level seems to be OK again for now.

[Doopz]

Fenderjt's level had a few as well.

This is madness.... I hope whoever this is, is banned and also kicked in the face...

[Astrosimi]

Time to turn on the PS3 once more. You can expect me to upload some.
