Sometimes it's not the attention we want and since the change Anton wants is not going to happen, the alternate very well could.
I wasn't asking for any changes. I just was asking why there are two differing policies for the exact same types of posts.
You keep saying I benefit currently in some way. I am not a merchant and have no commercial inventory anywhere in Poserdom. Apollo is free and his use, by others, benefits me in no way. Whether 100000 or 10 people use him is the same to me.

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.
And yet the other can.
Jen,
That does mean there are separate rules for content creators and non-content creators..
-Joe Creator cannot make a post saying "My new Hair at Daz"
-Suzy User can post saying "Joe's new Hair at Daz!"
As I said in my initial post, I don't see how there is any difference in the end result. A commercial post is made. As I said, this issue has zeo effect on me, I have always been very pro-content creator, free or otherwise.
If the policies were designed to prevent commercial spam, and yet commercial spam by users is allowed, then the policy is bogus and discriminatory.
I asked my questions to better understand the rational of the admins in having a policy that is partially broken and selectively enforced. The decision does seem biased and reflective of personal preferences. And why I asked the admins instead.
