This is such a silly rule.

I understand the intentions behind it but wow.

so now in the main poser forum, cause lets face it that is the main forum, an agent working undercover for merchants will just post about the great new product that just came out and post a render of said product which could be by the merchant as long as it's not a promo shot.

following all the rules the merchant can get their product 'advertised' but not by them breaking no rules and in the main poser forum where it can be seen the most.

oh wait I can have up to 10 emails accounts with my isp.  clone accounts!  I could promote a merchant with 10 users, all being me raving about the new product!  yeah!

Me:  have you seen XXXXX
I:  Why no I had not seen that XXXXX was out, where oh where can it be found?
myself:  You didn't know?  It can be found at YYYYYYY.com !  It's SOOO GREAT!

As a general user that is not a merchant, not a beta tester, I would not be breaking any of the rules.

How soon ya think this will happen in the poser forum?  Anyone wanna take bets?  Too late!
