It just seemed to us that many of the images you are calling blatant ads smell a lot more like art, especially many that are now in the Hot 20. In fact, by pulling all these images from the Poser Gallery, now the Hot 20 if filling up with art images instead of Product Promo Images, which seems to kind of defeat the purpose of this. We thought what determined where an image should go was the image itself. If the image contained advertising copy, then it belonged in the Product Showcase Gallery. We didn't realize that the accompanying text had such a huge bearing on where it should go or if it should be considered an ad or art. Another point: Yes, we are merchants, but we are also artists. And we use many of our own products, as well as other merchants products, to create our art. Isn't that what this is all about? Showing and telling people what we used to create the work? In essence,every piece of art that uses a product is a promotion for that product. Are you saying that if we use 5 of our products to do a piece of art - it should go into the Product Showcase Gallery? Are you also saying that if someone gives us their product as a gift, and if we do an art image using this product and thank them in the text, that it should go into the Product Showcase Gallery? Are you saying that if we post an image saying a particular product is coming, that that is also considered an ad and not art. Are you saying that any image that lists product credits in the text should go into the Product Showcase Gallery? Are you saying we should post images only, with no text or mention of what products we used? We are really confused about this now. You say: "There is a message on the Gallery Header in red type asking merchants not to post their sales material in the Poser Forum. It doesn't beg, plead, order, or wheedle. It asks. But if the merchant won't post an image in the right forum, we have to move it." Yes, we have seen the message in red type. But we can't for the life of us figure out why jwdell's image (who isn't a merchant) is now in the Product Showcase Gallery, and even in the HOT 20. Carol
