In other words, things aren't going to change. Here are things I've noticed more and more frequently as of late ... Let's see ... I typically see somewhere between 1000 and 2000 people on line at any given time. There are over 1000 merchants here. Could it be that half of the people that come here are merchants? The sales that you say are doing very well are going to suffer if every piece that a merchant renders is considered "promotional." I won't be posting any more here at all as a result of that one. There may be other merchants who feel the same. Posting in the "incorrect" forum or gallery is a sin. So many posts are being moved that it's hard to post anywhere any more. And even posts in "The Den" are being stifled for no apparent reason. Posting anything other than a "Oh wow" or "Fantastic" on a gallery image is considered trolling. How is an artist expected to grow if he/she already thinks his/her art is perfect? Stating an opinion on a religious or political issue is discouraged, but bashing a vendor or manufacturer is OK. There is WAY too much "vendor bashing" going on here. I hope, in my posts here, I have been viewed as a fair and reasonable person. I don't speak out often, but I do speak out when I see unfairness. Here, I see "rules" that are selectively enforced. It may be that there is way too much for your mods to do ... in other words, too many rules. But, it appears that these words and concerns have gone upon deaf ears. I sent you an email to close my account along with a secondary account I have. Please do so.
