Dear BrickLink members, After the acquisition of BrickLink in 2019, we’ve continued to deepen and broaden our relationship and service to the AFOL community. Throughout this transition, we’ve kept conscious of the fact that BrickLink represents the LEGO® brand in a much more direct way than before. We have identified a need to bring our Terms of Service closer to LEGO brand guidelines regarding restricted content. The implementation of these guidelines will specifically affect the Studio Gallery, meaning all military/modern warfare-themed, religious, and alcohol-centric MOCs will be set to “Private” and removed from public view. We will continue to support BrickLink members by improving features and encouraging creativity. In order to do that, we need to ensure that publicly displayed MOCs in the Studio Gallery adhere to our brand guidelines. MOCs containing restricted content can still be uploaded in “Private” mode for your own personal purposes. These guidelines will take effect on January 31st. At this time, a new upload flow for submitting to the Studio Gallery will be released, enforcing these guidelines for all future MOCs. Simultaneously, the Designer Terms of Service (https://www.bricklink.com/v3/terms_of_service_designer.page) will be updated and the “Military” category in the Studio Gallery will be removed. Currently displayed MOCs that do not comply with the updated guidelines will remain visible for two weeks. They will be set to “Private” mode starting on February 12th, but they will not be deleted from the platform. This change to the Studio Gallery guidelines is, admittedly, an impactful adjustment for some users. While many MOCs will be removed from public view, thousands more remain for you to discover and build for yourself. You can read more about the updated Studio Gallery guidelines in our Studio Help Article: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042355033 Kind regards, Your BrickLink Team
