I'm against flagging. We already have a Showcase Forum for commercial posts. This was to my view working very well until a couple of days ago when some people started to take the Michael. If you change anything just put a more prominent link at the top of the Poser Forum page. I go to the showcase forum when I want to read or make Commercial posts. I do not want a flag to turn on and then have to trawl through pages of what will then be mixed posts looking for the ones I want to read. Also, dirk5027, I am not a child. I find your remark insulting.

If you implement a flag AND keep the Showcase forum then the Poser Forum will be inundated with (flagged) "Go read my message in the Showcase forum" posts. This would get old really quick. It used to be called cross posting and was always frowned upon.

"these people work hard on these products and should be able to put them into the potential buyers faces, anywhere they want to"

I take offence to unsolicited advertising. The best way to get me to not buy something is to shove it in my face. I do not want the Poser Forum, flagged or otherwise to degenerate into nothing but spam. The other side of the coin is that I will not thrust my product notifications in inappropriate places. Commercial posts go in the Product Showcase Forum others go to the Poser Forum. Its not rocket science.
