deljs: I partially agree.
This is a commercial product, and as such it does not belong in this forum. I completely agree.
About the forum moderator, that's more complicated. UVDan is not a forum moderator for the Poser forum. If he were, I'd fully agree, a moderator should be VERY careful about expressing his own opinions in the forum(s) he moderates.
This leads to an interesting question. Should a forum moderator be held to the same posting restrictions that apply to his "own" forum(s), even when posting to other forums which he doesn't moderate? In other words, should UVDan's posts here be read as "just a member's post" representing his personal opinion, or as "a forum moderator's post" representing a Renderosity viewpoint?
This is tricky. It might be a good idea for the 'rosity staff to think about this, create or adapt some guidelines, and maybe adapt the software so that a forum moderator is only shown as forum moderator in the forums he/she actually moderates, and as a normal member when posting to another forum. If that is the outcome of the guideline discussion, that is.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
