The names "Team pick" and "Developer favorite" are misleading, because as far as I know they are chosen by just 1 person (steven) who is neither a team nor a developer (or even a creator). Why can't team picks be chosen by a group of people? There's the contest crew, the spotlight crew, etc. But putting 1 person in charge of picking levels that the entire community will see and play, that's highly biased and unfair...

I'm actually a part of the LittleBigPlanet development team. You don't have to be a coder or a creator to be a part of the team. The development team is chock full of managers, producers, designers, testers, etc... That all work together to develop new content for LittleBigPlanet. My role is certainly one of the most varied within the team and I'm always kept busy with among other things, guiding the development team. Why is that? Because I'm constantly advising the team on just what type of content you guys want to see for LittleBigPlanet and giving my feedback on what is being developed. This includes critiquing levels that are being developed by our very own level designers! And that's when I get really mean with my feedback. Oh and whoever said that I pick levels entirely by myself? Sure, I'll be the first to say that I pick the majority of them but I certainly pick a good number of levels that have been forwarded to me by both community members and the rest of the development team. After all, I couldn't possibly play all 8 million levels by myself. P.s. If you ever have any Team Pick suggestions (not your own levels please!), then by all means feel free to send them my way. The best way to message me is probably via twitter: @StevenIsbell (http://twitter.com/stevenisbell) and don't forget to include an LBP.me link to the level so that I can add it to my queue!

I don't want this to sound bad but i feel like ignorance of what it is the community coordinator does leads to a lot of discontent within the masses of the community, many of whom thinking that steveni is lazy in this role since the only clearly defined tasks he performs that the community sees is tweeting and mm picking levels once a week. Now I am not personally naive enough to believe that his job is not a busy one, but I Still am not entirely aware of the duties of a community coordinator. So, I pose the question: What all does steveni do? What are the things that aren't so apparent that he has to attend to?

Im sure steven is always busy. Lvl playing , community behavior control,forum feedback. Mm picks. And im sure this community coordinator is his side job . Cause he just said he work with the developing team as well. Busy guy. Im sure if we were in his driver seat we would have great intensions for better the community and the picks. But maybe we dont know everything we think we know. Like id say if i was to pick mm picks id do it different as well , but than i guess the other half of the community would be annoyed also. Cant make everyone happy. The thread is called team pick suggestions? Id suggest to spread the creators that are team picked . Which i think hes starting to do. Cause by picking the same creators he was not doing anything good to benifit the community in anyway cause after two picks we have hearted this person and we would follow them without stevens help. So my suggestion would be for his job to find all the expert to decent creators and pic one of there lvls so the community knows theres other people that exist. Its why people were frusted with the cool pages as well.

I hope you don't take my last response as anything but some light hearted teasing, However I think Team pick is fine the why it is, it isn't something we can dictate, the name team picks implies their choice, I do think that some of the levels on the team pick wall are very similar especially game play wise which I don't like but what can you do? Personally I think they should try adding in more features like a random creator button or trending creator wall, this may be mutually benefit-able tool, as unlike the cool wall which will highlight many levels from 1 person it this will highlight may people and show more as each spot could technically highlight anywhere from 1 to 20 levels. So we won't have to rely on the same old creators making the best levels. just a suggestion however I don't know the machanics of it all
