Not necessarily so Acadia....

Quote - Rendo Regular Galleries-
May advertise/credit vendors at Renderosity using drop down menu provided.
No links, text based or live, to offsite stores.
May credit offsite stores/vendors in description field without links, text based or live. Ex: "OutfitX at Daz"

My statement still stands.

For example if Sixus1 created a new product and did a render using it, they can no longer post in the "Market Place Gallery" or the "Market Place Forum" using that new product and giving themselves credit.

IE:   " by me"  or  by Sixus1 Media"

Because to do so would be personal advertising of their product.

So your new rule (which I think is completely stupid by the way), prevents them from advertising their product on this website because the only 2 areas (Product Showcase forum and gallery) were the only places that allowed it, and now they don't.

After the fiasco with the Free Stuff Forum when it came into being where Renderosity tried to make it so that only   "Renderosity Exclusive Freebies" that were in the Free Stuff area here were allowed to be posted in that new forum, I just knew in my gut that  this new merchant advertising policy was just around the corner.
