I see you are making multiple new topics just to post one or 2 levels.

I would ask you to make a topic "Levels by lemmkeev20" where you can gather them all in one topic instead of making a new one for each level. Or if you plan to tie them together in a pack at some point a dedicated pack topic.

As another option you might want to post them here in the "Random level sharing topic": https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=3743.0

Welcome to the Forums @lemmkeev20.

gather them all in one topic instead of making a new one for each

Agreed. It may be worth merging the existing individual level topics into one.

[lemmkeev20]

yeah... thats right
but where do i share them?

[WillLem]

but where do i share them?

If you just want to post one level at a time, I'd suggest just replying to this topic (or one of your others) with your new level. The topic will get bumped every time you post to it, and you can change the topic title every time if you want to, so people will always be informed when you've made a new level.

Alternatively: If you're making levels this quickly, consider building a pack instead of releasing them one-by-one.

Just because many (not all!) creators follow a structure similar to the original games with huge numbers of levels in a pack and multiple ranks; doesn't mean you have to. A "pack" can also be (for example) 30 levels with no particular order or grouping. In fact, traditionally this was the more common format - most older packs are much smaller, it's only really around the time NeoLemmix took off that big packs became the norm, and even then, they're not every pack.

btw this is the level

Okay, I'm going to say this a bit more firmly:

Stop making topics just for one or two levels. On this occasion, I have merged the offending topic into your existing one. Should you do this again, next time I will just delete it outright.

Entire topics are generally either for large packs, or a one-per-author topic for loose levels. And most people do not even do the latter, instead just using the Random Level Sharing topic for that.

I am not in any way trying to say "stop making levels". This is not about the levels themself; it's about how you're posting them. Keep any random single-level releases to either this topic, or the Random Level Sharing topic. A dedicated topic is appropriate if, and only if, you decide to make an entire relatively-large pack - and at that point it should only be two topics about the pack at most, one to say "I'm working on it" and announce progress, and the other to say "it's ready, here's the release".

ok no worries

Wow it's good to know that your allowed to do this (i.e. make a topic for one-off levels instead of puting them in the Random Level Sharing topic) as I don't like making packs and I prefer making one-off levels but I'd scared they'd never be seen if I put them in the "Random Level Sharing" topic. Even though, as you said, packs don't have to have large numbers, ranks, or grouping or ordering, I still like making one-off levels over packs for some reason

Should we merge this topic: https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=7585 into this one too and rename this one "lemmkeev20's levels" or something. Though that being said, he said that, https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=7585 is going to be for a pack called "psychopatic dificulty" so maybe it's fair enough to let him have another topic for those as he said they'll be going into a pack in the future.

Edit: Also found another scattered level here you could merge that doesn't seem to be one that's going to be a pack in the future :https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=7588

no need, i already maded it, its called: mr lemmdo's X-tralems levels!

<cut>

Yes, creating a "Silken Healer's levels" topic is fine. Making a new topic every two or three levels clutters up the boards; having one topic for an author who regularly releases levels but doesn't structure them into a pack, does not clutter up the boards. EDIT: I updated the board rules topic to explicitly clarify that this is okay.

Regarding how to handle it: I'm leaving any posts/topics that pre-date that warning, as they are (old ones can be locked if this gets abused to try and loophole anything), and will deal with any future "random levels" topics in the manner I already explained. If another mod/admin wants to take the time to merge them nicely, they are welcome to do so.
