***Why are there separate rules for content creators(not necessarily merchants) when similar threads are allowed by anyone but the creator.

It's not so much that there are separate rules for content creators and non-content creators.  It's simply that one cannot post advertisements about their product, for free or for profit, in the forum.  For example, let's say you purchased an item that you'd bought here, and were having problems with it...and the creator is on vacation (also, for this scenario's sake, let's pretend that you DON'T know how to fix the problem, but someone on the forum might).  It would be faster for you to ask the question on the forum, to see if anyone has a fix. 

That, itself, is just one example.  But, seriously, there aren't separate rules for content creators and non-content creators.  Just rules about what sort of posts we allow in our forums.

In all actuality, I'd honestly prefer it if all WIP threads went back to the Developer's forum.  However, sometimes, tutorial and/or request threads can take on a life of their own, and become WIP threads.
