Other members' albums in my gallery

Happy new year~

 

When I uploaded the most recent completed project, I found some unknown albums in my account. I didn't touch or delete the albums, but I want to clear the unwanted albums. Could you help me solve the issue?

While any repair is going on:

Are we sure that a 3D digital model fits the definition of scratch built?

Jaager, I think you are talking about the incomplete 3D graphics model, which has recently uploaded weekly.

 

In my opinion, the posts are violating in two terms; (1) The project seems incomplete because it is frequently updated. Assuming the 3D model posts are incomplete, the fair place to upload the posts is the "CAD and 3D modelling plans." (2) The posts may not match with kind of the culture of the bulletin. The "one-time" post is the general use of the gallery. Although there isn't an explicit usage guide in the gallery, most members used to upload only their finest and polished models, which can be a good reference for other members' builds. The "updating" project is vulnerable.

 

I wish the member would roughly research the gallery and understand the characteristic of the bulletin.

 

I agree that the 3D models don't fit the current categories of the gallery bulletin, but uploading in the scratch build category is not that bad. I think the 3D model is kind of a plan and a reference. We build models, and it is a useful way to build an accurate model. If the model has the master quality of the NMM contemporary models, the post can be uploaded in the "Gallery of the contemporary models and private collections," in my opinion. Of course, any 3D model post should be a completed project.

 

To be honest, I don't want to see any 3D models on the main page unless the gallery impose the 3D web-cruising function, that allows user to rotate and zoom in and out.

Images of incomplete builds and loose photos get culled on a regular basis (where 'culled' = whenever a moderator gets around to it!).

A 3D model is indeed a model and worthy of being placed in the gallery.  But the same rules apply.   It must only be images of the completed 3d model.  All others will be discarded.   We dont have enough of them to warrant its own category yet but that is a new type of hobby modelling.   Just as valid as wood or plastic.   

 

If you set up your album as public so anyone can post in it then it is likely other members who dont know what they are doing will be able to select it and add photos.   It could happen.   Just notify a moderator and we will delete them.   In addition, we still have folks just adding photos in the gallery to the wrong category or not within an album.   These are routinely discarded as well.   You must create an album for each finished model.  Then add your images to that.

If a member sets up an album with their photos, is the member able to edit and delete any photos in their album?

Yes.
