It takes a Mod a few hours to read through all of the posts when they first log on for the day, as it takes most of us. They can't skim but have to READ all of them, because often the contentious issues are buried 18 posts down. If a Mod doesn't get to everything within the first 5 minutes, can you really yell at them? Well, yes, you obviously do. Just last week it was pointed out to EVERYBODY and their cousin that commercial works weren't allowed in here. We had such a glut of Mike3 teaser images that it was hard to find anything else to look at. A heap of posts got moved. Lyrra posted an ADMIN thread to call attention to the matter. Some of you don't like the rule, but it was highlighted yet again. What is it going to take... a mile high sign with flashing lights? Next issue... some people are newbies and mistakenly post commercial products in here because just they don't know any better. Other people are professionals who KNOW what the rules are and STILL try to skirt them in the hopes of making a few more sales. Teaser images masquerading as WIPs are still teaser images and we can smell them from a mile away. You guys are already filling the galleries with your product shots... ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!! Some of us don't like cheaters. I have purchased from Neftis before (at least 4 hair models), however I have removed her Russian furs from my shopping list. Not for lack of quality, not because of her posting in here, but because she is still arguing the issue. I have a choice who I buy from. People who repeatedly argue the same issue with Mods are down so low on my list that they won't get to the top for a long, long time. People who call Mods secret police and whine that they are being mistreated are even lower. This goes for ALL of you who are complaining (yet again) that you can't fill this Forum with your ads... and trying to sneak them through when somebody isn't looking. This is the behavoir of obstinate 6-year-olds, and is hardly what I'd expect from an adult. Finally, a WIP should be clearly that... something which is in the beginning stages where user input is necessary before continuing. When it is so close to Market that the only thing left is a few tweaks and making the MATs... and all the poster wants is acclaim and attention and customers opening their wallets, it is no longer a WIP. Asking "do you like the red one or the green one or both?" when the items are finished isn't a WIP... that is a marketing tactic. Asking "how can I get the texture centered on the dress?" when there is a problem to be solved, and the item is obviously still in pieces, is evidence of a WIP. Carolly
