If you're going to have a rule then it needs to be applied consistently. Allowing a loophole for "undecided" simply invites abuse (and I'm not talking about Neftis here) and will ensure that this becomes another festering wound and source of controversy. Either ditch the rule or make it hard and fast, if you're not sure whether you are going to sell it then don't post it here. I don't think anyone would complain if something in the commercial section ended up being free. Perhaps a compromise would be to allow a single post with just a link to the Showcase if they want to guage the marketability of something. The problem is everyone wants to put everything in the Pose forum because it gets the overwhelming majority of viewers. If that's what people want then simply make it a free for all and eliminate the restrictions. It doesn't matter which way it's decided but having a rule with such an obvious way to circumvent it (even unintentionally) merely invites situations like this with perceptions of favoritism etc. and the resulting bad feelings which we already have more than enough of.
