"X-tralems levels" topic - split/removed posts

lemmkeev20 · September 30, 2026, 09:57:25 PM

Quote from: namida on September 30, 2026, 09:38:20 PMThe reason for the rules has been explained. Multiple times we have attempted to explain to lemmkeev what is and isn't appropriate, only for him to go and create a topic that ignores the spirit of everything said in favor of looking for some "exact words" technicality or cover story to continue posting new topics for a small number of levels. Whether this is an intentional attempt to exploit loopholes, or a genuine failure to understand, setting an explicit "post your levels in this topic only" guideline avoids any further issues.

I am sure you can understand the idea that sometimes if people are struggling to understand general rules, they may need bespoke ones specifically tailored to them, which in some cases may be a bit stricter in order to reduce the risk of misunderstandings and/or reduce the need for judgement calls that someone is struggling to make correctly.

And with this said, that's where I'm drawing the line on discussing this issue with people who are not involved in it. Going forward I will only discuss lemmkeev's individual situation further with other site staff, or with lemmkeev himself. Unless a need arises to make a public post directed at lemmkeev on this subject again, it's time for this topic to go back to its original purpose: for leemkeev to share his levels, rather than to discuss the standards of the NeoLemmix Levels board and its subforums and enforcement thereof.

yeah like... i tought posting levels with fan-made required styles on the styles topic wasn't a problem

anyways...

ill follow the rules and i hope i dont get another warning (beacuse im too scared of getting banned

)

Should this thread be renamed to "lemmkeev20's levels/nominal packs", seeing as "X-tralems" seems like it's the name of a specific level pack, and then Simon designated this thread to be a lemmkeev20's levels/nominal packs thread, should we rename this thread to that for the sake of clarity as the thread is no longer just for the "X-tralems" pack any more?

i don't really know, i think i should re-name it to

X-tralems previews and random levels... is this name better?

Proxima · October 23, 2026, 06:50:36 PM

That name works for me!

Maybe but that name implies that levels/packs outside of "random levels" and "X-tralems previews" won't be posted in this thread (e.g. the final finished "X-tralems" pack and collections of levels nominally called "packs") and and if you make a new thread for them Namida probably won't like that if that happens.... Although making a new thread for the final "X-tralems" finished release is to the best of my knowledge in accordance with the rules in the rules thread and Namida's own statements; as long as he doesn't deign the final finished release of the "X-tralems" pack a "nominal" pack. In fact if the "random levels" in your title includes "nominal packs" then that name should follow all the rules Namida has set out actually to the best of my understanding.

ok... ill think of a better name

I think "lemmkeev20's one-off levels/nominal packs" should suffice.

i don't really know... i think we should think some name ideas and them make a poll to add the name ideas to the poll...

and the winning name becomes this topic's name

thats a great idea isn't it?

if not, i think we should think name ideas

No, I don't think that's at all necessary. It was just a suggestion to fix the artefact left over by the fact this thread was seemingly for a specific pack and then Simon deigned this a thread for all your one-off levels and nominal packs and didn't update the name. My name is fine and everything a thread name needs to be.

Quote from: WillLem on October 24, 2026, 09:55:04 AMWhat's wrong with just using "X-traLems" as the title? It ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'll quote my other message in the thread where I explained the reason why,

It doesn't matter. And honestly, I think it's rather rude to take up so much of lemmkeev20's topic with posts that are nothing to do with their levels. Please just let them call the topic whatever they want.

Quote from: Proxima on October 24, 2026, 04:19:00 PMIt doesn't matter

It does matter. Threads shouldn't be called something completely different to do with what they are. To give a metaphor, it would be like if we made a thread for sharing pictures of lemmings and we decided to change it to a thread for sharing pictures of all rodents and then we just forgot to update the name. It would be completely confusing. The thread only has an inaccurate name because Simon designated this a thread for a new thing from what it originally was and moved in posts from outside the thread that were that thing into here and forgot to update the name.

I completley disagree with you that it is rude. It's not like threads have a post limit, I'm not "using up" any space a level could be posted in, and it seems perfectly reasonable to post about meta-information (e.g. the thread having a wrong title due to Simon forgetting/not thinking to update it when he designated it to be updated to the thread to be for all of lemmkeev20's levels and nominal packs) in the thread itself.

Someone being the author of a thread gives them some discretion over the title, quite a bit actually, sure, but it doesn't give them free reign to just call it whatever they want, as having an inaccurate title effects everyone else, not just themselves. Should I be allowed to make a thread for sharing pictures of hamsters and call it "Share pictures of Lemmings in this thread" and force everyone who uses it to go "I want to share hamsters, oh no, that's the thread for sharing Lemmings that has the wrong name" just because I created the thread?

lemmkeev20 · October 24, 2026, 05:14:35 PM

uhh i think i should name the pack to "X-tralems corporation levels and packs" is it any better?

IchoTolot · October 24, 2026, 05:16:42 PM

I think the level topic is perfectly fine!

It fits for single levels by lemmkeev20 and can also serve as a development topic if this turns into a finalised X-tralems pack.
If the pack comes out and this topic shall serve for futher single levels it can then still be renamed if necessary, but even that is optional.

We do not need to micro manage every single topic so the name fits 100% to the exact detail.

The most important thing is that not every new single level gets its own topic - that we achieved and the title of this topic also fits the current theme well enough.

So, let's not take this topic off topic and leave room for the actual levels from lemmkeev20!
