Actually, svdl, when I originally posted, I hadn't even noticed UVDan being titled a forum moderator. I was thinking of him as just another poster. I was referring to wheatpenny who is a respected mod for the Poser forum. I definitely agree with you on all points. In my estimation UVDan is as much a guest in this forum as you and I. However, as a mod on the same site, his comments do/should carry more weight. At the end of the day, the only thing potentially lost through any of this is credibility. As far as allowing blatant advertising in the midst of the Poser forum, I personally have nothing against it IF I know what I'm clicking on in advance. I prefer the way DAZ's commons works where commercial posts are marked as commercial. I can then choose in advance if I want to see it or not. I'd like to see R'osity add a checkbox by the Language, Violence, and Nudity Advisories for a Commercial posting. But without that, this should have been posted in the (virtually untravelled) Product Showcase as others have brought up. As an aside, I thought linking directly to competing stores was not allowed here. At any rate, my intent was not to gnarl on the mods or poserscience, but rather a call for parity regarding the ubiquitous TOS. Its kinda like George W Bush's abusive use of signing statements; setting a radically different standard for himself and his comrades than for the rest of us plebes.
