I disagree, actually. I believe Mod's are SUPPOSED to be both sides of the fence.(In the best way possible) Meaning, I help discuss and hash the ideas and goings ons of Renderosity with other Mods, Admins in addition to the members. In my mind I have to keep; what could be and is good for Renderosity, what could be and is good for you the member, in addition to what everyone would like to see, etc, etc. So, I HAVE to do my best to see ALL sides. If I see only one side I limit my opinions to my bosses, which would in turn, will limit this site and its members. The Mod is the connection between the member and PTB. If I can't see both sides, and try to explain both sides, to both sides, I don't believe I'm doing a good job. And, actually, any other Mod, Admin, etc. can disagree with me with what I did, and that's fine. I'm still not going to delete your post in the Bryce Forum. If they delete your post in their froum, that's their decision. Now, if my bosses had a problem with your post in my forum, then we'd all have to talk, lol. And, I would explain to them what I have said above. (post #10) I think your post is no problem for the Bryce forum, keep it. My conviction is to Renderosity, and to try my best to see that a fair resolution is made in whatever situation. Sometimes it's for the members, sometimes it can't be done, and I can't help get the members what they want. I'm not taking sides, I hope I'm doing my job is all. Perhaps this coming off like I'm not backing you up, I am. I have not deleted your post, and am telling everyone I think it's fine. BUT, I cannot deny that I can see where others could be annoyed at how you went about it in so many places. (Hey, If I'm doing something wrong I expect any one of you to smack the back of my head) I would have suggested only a few posts in other forums, linking back to your full post in the Bryce forum. I know that may sound stupid, but sometimes you have to exercise subtlety on a website of thousands. I'll back up any member if they are right or even partially right, that's one of the things I'm here for, but I can't do it blindly, ignoring points that could have been...done differently. The Team at Renderosity is a Team, but we kinda have to trust each others insight to each Mod's forum they run. I think that would be their play. Man, I hope any of that made sense, lol. Agentsmith
