I'm against commercial advertising in this forum, but like a lot of people, see nothing wrong with the occasional "look at what I'm working on" pics for commercial works in progress. The threads associated with M3 went a bit overboard, so the mods did what they felt was right. That DAZ cat render was posted once ... it was obviously an unfiniished project, and the context didn't come across like an ad, not to my mind. Besides, there have been many threads in this forum asking about progress on the cat. My point is that I do think there's some room for give-and-take on this issue, it doesn't need to be policed in every case unless things go too far by the mods'/admins' estimation.

I'm glad that godawful troll thread got moved or deleted or whatever. Yucky. :-)
