I fail to see why the staff at Renderosity, many of who were once long standing community members, would actively enable something that really only hurts small stores, which are actually run by people who are helpful and active parts of the Renderosity community; a policy that is pointless and hamless to the larger stores who, as far as I am aware, have never done anything collectively helpful for Renderosity, it's merchants, and it's members.
I understand why the store owners think this is all neccesary. I just am amazed so many, once community members, are willing to be apart of it. Is site mod or admin status that great? Many of you have been around long enough to see enough to see where this type of "bubble enviornment" leads.
I just find it a very disloyal gesture to people who have participated on the site for years, where others constribute nothing. I don't mean to judge you guys for backing all the recent policies, but I just can't help it. It seems wrong and insincere. And it is not going to help anyone, least of all Renderosity in the end.
Many of us who make content, support and promote merchnat's here at Rendo that support out content. It seems a slap in the face in light of that.
