So what's the big deal about telling people what product was used to create the art? Is art now judged on products used, copy written, or the image itself? It has to do with intent. If the intent of the image was artistic expression, no problem. If the intent is product promotion, then it doesn't belong in the galleries. And who judges? The mods? And their moods? Yes, if they are good enough to judge everything else, they're good enough to judge this. The practice is standard and what's being considered isn't dropping that system but asking merchants not to add their own personal credits. I admit asking merchants not to add personal credits for their products could be a bit extreme. The issue is really expecting merchants to police themselve and post ART and not promotions for their products. I think many would stay within those limits, but many will not. Product Showcase and the Product Showcase gallery were created for product promotions. If merchants want to post in the galleries, let the Mods/Admins set rules and standards to keep the galleries from becoming a marketing tool and to prevent the situation from being taken advantage of.
