ANOTHER self-censored message Flocky?!? What?s going on? The first one was that you?d reported us to the police for no good reason. This one can?t have been any worse than that?!

i may have a beef with the project but my post was in response to a now (totally removed) post that adds nothing to your thread and a poster i have a family sized side sirlion with. i can be petty and unyeilding but not wholly motivated by a desire to create a environment resembling Grozny c. 1995 within this thread

I posted a message in support of eastDAG and in support of the East Dulwich Mural. I don?t understand why my message was deleted, but am pleased the response to my message by the above anonymous troll was deleted.

Anyway, to reiterate (but in fewer words this time) - great work eastDAG, and ignore the naysayers.

Hi Chris

I saw your message earlier and logged on to say thanks, but I?m not sure why it?s been deleted either?

But thanks for the props. Your FH mural campaign was our benchmark for our campaign.

the circle is complete.

[chrisbeach]

No worries, eastDAG. I?m really sorry to see the abuse you?ve had to put up with here. No community art project goes unpunished, it seems.

[flocker spotter]

anyway, good luck with your project EDAG, whatever I think of it, i have had my say. I now need to wash my hands in bleach.

Please be careful with the dilution ratio....

Thank you so much for taking part in the vote to choose an artist to paint a mural on the bridge outside East Dulwich Train Station.

Along with an esteemed judging panel we had a fantastic response from the East Dulwich community with just shy of 1,000 votes cast. The votes are now in and we are delighted to announce that the winner of the East Dulwich Station Mural competition is Blue Shop Cottage / Alphabetics Anonymous.

We will be meeting Blue Shop Cottage to discuss their ideas and will present these as soon as we possibly can. Once the final design is approved, we will be crowdfunding to cover the preparation and protection of the mural.

Thanks again for your your input! It has been much appreciated. We will be sure to keep you updated as the project moves forward.

That walrus is brilliant! Thanks for posting.

"Once the final design is approved, we will be crowdfunding to cover the preparation and protection of the mural."

You mean you went through all this and asked people to spend their time voting when you don;'t even have any money to finance this project?!

[chrisbeach]

Abe. With the Forest Hill Mural, SE23.life organised the design vote first, and then raised the money. People need to know what they?re paying for.

The strategy worked. Our crowdfunder raised ?2,500+ in 75 hours. Get the right design (via a popular vote) and people will pay for it to happen.

Hopefully this message won?t be mysteriously deleted like my previous few were.

Hi Abe

The mural fee paid to the artist is covered within our budget.

If you read the post, the crowdfunding element is for preparation and protection. It?s an opportunity to pitch in, and be named, on a great project to help it last for many years to come.

Murals are defaced and damaged, so this element will run well beyond our funding period.

The mural project will go ahead regardless.

Hope that clarifies your query

Seriously, I hope not. I?m keeping my fingers crossed he?s been incarcerated or something similar.
