All of the images use primarily if not exclusively Sixus1 products. I think that the differences are obvious.

I have seen many fantastic images created by merchants using their own products exclusively or prominently in the images and it isn't fair for these great artists to have to worry about where they can and can't post thier artwork. Why punish those who create and share content with everyone ?

So, the problem is where is the line drawn and who decides and WHY ??

I still vote for the deletion of the Product Showcase Gallery. It would save valuable moderator man hours and hurt feelings. But if you wanted to put the decision in the hands of the viewers and they get annoyed with what they feel is promo spam or whatever.....how about an "Ignore Artist" option ?

I don't have a problem with the Product Showcase Forum.

Another 2 cents thrown into the pot.
