Attached Link: Merchant Resource Center
It is listed Jaqui... but not, I believe in the upload areas. There's a section in the "Merchant's Resource Center" page here that states" "**Merchants Forum / Chat** **All MarketPlace Merchants have access to a private forum** that you will now see on your side navigation bar under Admin Forums. It is not open to the general Renderosity public. The Merchants Forum provides a place where you can communicate with other store contributors and the Renderosity team. Feel free to ask questions and discuss issues here. Updates pertinent to store contributors will also be posted as necessary. Please visit this forum often." There's a section directly under that that was added ***after*** Timmy's Big Picture announcement - I have a saved HTML from prior to Oct 2002 that doesn't have this section - that states: "If a Renderosity MarketPlace Merchant has a vested interest in a competing broker site or is not participating in a professional manner Renderosity Administration reserves the right to remove their access to the Private Merchant forum." ***Vested interest*** and ***professional manner***, like the bulk of Rosity's unwritten and arbitrary policies, isn't defined anywheres on those pages. *grin* Like everything else, they mean whatever a Rendo admin or mod wants them to mean at the time, since as has been observed in this forum alone, "professional manner" obviously doesn't apply to very many Renderosity spokespeople. ;] And, since I didn't get the "You no longer have access to Merchant's Forum - WARNING! ENTERING A RESTRICTED AREA!!!" off of my bookmark, that's obviously not a part of the secretive areas. Or at least that's what ***I*** just chose it to mean when I posted the link here. Any two can play, boys. And I've been a player a lot longer than a lot of people. Letter of the law goes both ways. ;]"I am a good person now and it feels... well, pretty much the same as I felt before (except that the headaches have gone away now that I'm not wearing control top pantyhose on my head anymore)"
