I agree, Nalif. Helping someone by directing them in response to an existing thread isn't an advertisement (unless the thread has nothing to do with the product). Starting a new thread about a product, either currently on sale or planned is something else. If someone were looking for a texture in a particular style or a specific piece of clothing that you'd done, answering their thread and pointing them to your product is a nice thing to do. Starting a new thread asking for opinions of your product, or help in the design of your product would go to Product Showcase. There's also another issue here. Sometimes I tout someone's new product in the Poser Forum. Not my product, or anything I had anything to do with, but something that I think is superb quality that I want to show off. I'm showcasing their product, but since I'm not affiliated in any way with the new product, that seems to be OK. I ALWAYS point out new male textures that I've bought that are excellent quality (Catherina's Met4D and Quim's come to mind). I always pay for them when I do something like that so I can't be accused of a quid pro quo arrangement. On the other hand, I never point out something done by Dodger in the Poser forum, since I get all his stuff for free in exchange for beta testing and helping (a small bit) with some of the design work (occassionally). I don't get any money or credit for the small bits I do with Dodger, but I do have an interest (getting it for free), in the products. Note on freebies: The best way to increase sales is to offer add-on's for free. Vittorio would have sold very few copies if I hadn't had a large number of freebies available for him from the start. Freebies can enhance the desirability of a good product encouraging sales. Anyone can do it, you don't have to be a big vendor. I've got less than 10 items for sale. Of course, I've got tons of freebies available for things.
