I only hope that one day, I'll be able to have good quality and detailed locomotives of my own creation for Trainz.
~snip~
First, while we might question whether some of these uploads have any serious value, there seems to be no malice behind them. I think they are the product of a few pre-adolescents who received Trainz as a Christmas, birthday, or other gift and are revelling in the power to actually put something they have made on the Internet whatever it is.
Second, while it is tempting to suggest that Auran/N3V ban or intercept such posts, we have to be careful what we wish for. Whenever a board of censors is appointed to control annoying material from "other people," they always end up controlling "annoying" material from ourselves, because their mission is control and they seek to do it well. It always ends up as a bad bargain in the end.
FWIW, I say abide it. It does no real harm and their "routes" can be passed over in a few seconds, unless I have really missed something. And who knows, one of these folks may end up being TS2020's content creation guru.

Would that count as an 'improper' way to "censor" the DownLoadStation?I agree that there is no proper way to "censor" some of the ridiculous things that pop up on DownLoadStation. Perhaps if there was not such a social barrier to criticizing really useless stuff the authors would get the message.
That's mean. Some of his assets really are good (the ones that aren't faulty) and i'm sure he tries to make good ones...Speaking of trash assets, don't even download anything by dash013. Those things are not even worth looking at. Crudely detailed, not the right coloring. Looks like a cardboard mock-up.
Are you guys really willing to censor the DLS because you can't delete an asset?
I still think some of the dubious content other than the ones which by the title you can tell are pointless, is being stored on the DLS rather than put there intentionally for public consumption, it's possible some may actually be embarrassed if they realised their doodlings are on public view. I doubt if any of the recent odd uploaders even are aware there is a forum, let alone use it.
Censorship isn't the answer but maybe some sort of guide line or suggestion as to what constitutes a finished route, maybe as a popup or reminder as part of the upload procedure. I might also suggest similar for sessions for the description to include the name of the route it applies to, no way am I downloading a session if I don't know what route it is for first.
Yeah...that's what we need...more policing on this here forum...and on the DLS. We need more quality police...more signature size police...more grammar police...more spelling police...oh...and how about more font size police? Now you're talking!![]()
Cheers,
