before everybody gets their indignation worked up too far, we might consider this to be a content issue and not a style one. it matters a lot to this community if your work is your own or someone elses, and if part of it is, how much. almost every picture posted to the poser gallery cites figure, texture, clothes, lights, backgrounds and poses as necessary. when people do add their own postwork, they often cite it. even some posts to the photo gallery include notes about the model. so if you use photos and don't cite them or the morphs and textures and characters you use (even if they're your own), someone's probably going to say something.

to echo eiran, i'm not accusing N1PPON of anything, i'm simply guessing at what his detractors are thinking and a way to appease them (if he wishes to do so).

one could argue that we all should be trusted more, but frankly, that's a different conversation than the one that's presently taking place.
