Perhaps I misunderstand you. I don't think that is the intended role of the forums, unless otherwise labeled. If it is, that is disturbing on many levels. Least of all it means it is a vehical for abuse masked as "feedback".

I was thinking in context of commercial posts being allowed in DAZ commons, and should they be allowed on Rendo. They wouldn't bother me one bit if they were allowed here. I'm thinking about that in context of wondering of the rule of no commercial posts in this forum didn't start because of arguments or a group of people being bothered with them way back, before my time on the forums. If it is to be judged by the volume of posts that are edging in more commercial (not a huge amount, but a few), there seems to be interest.

Right now, I'm not sure what exactly the rules are when it comes to the items you brought up.

Quote - "Site policy" for creators is not "censorship" for non creators when in regards to the same types of topic threads. It is either one or the other for all. Members are members IMO.

Yea, I wouldn't think so either, but I can just see a group of members getting up in arms screaming censorship if you didn't let them complain about a product or a freebie.

Quote - "Consumer Feedback" in our forums is commercial and is a customer/user initiative. The Poser forum isn't a customer "feedback/service" forum. Is it? At least I hope I am not mistaken.

I'm not sure what the original intent of poser forum here is, or was. With Poser being so content oriented, it's hard to discuss a whole lot of things poser without introducing the commercial  element. Again, comparing to DAZ Commons forum, I kind of like the presence of vendors talking about their products there on occasion. Wouldn't bother me if the rules were changed so customer/vendor product specific interaction was more accepted here.

You are talking about how things are, I was talking about how things could be.
