well the solution is obvious.

Allow this kind of thread in the Product Showcase forum. You know ... the forum I suggested be created for that purpose the first time we had this problem?

And if you want a separate forum for Rendo products only, sure go for it. I dont think one more little forum is gonna break the bank on this site.

But really guys .. slamming he door on independant stores and on merchants who promote their work isn't very community minded at all.

I'd also like to point out that products from my lil dinky store are used by a lot of rendo merchants to make their products. So preventing me from advertising here just makes it harder for YOUR merchants to get the tools they need. But thats not really my problem .. I'll just keep plugging away and people will find me sooner or later :)

However I know that the PTB make some very weird rules and it certainly isnt the moderators fault they have to enforce them. I just think that the PTB need to think a little harder about the message they want to send to the community at large.

RIght now they are saying "if you don't work for us we don't want your kind" 

and DAZ says "hey its okay if you dont work for us, the more the merrier! (just dont overdo it)" 

dunno about you but I know which approach will gain more good will lol
