I feel like a friggin' delinquent. What is it around there, three strikes and you're out? All that's going to do is drive me into DAZ's open arms.

Hehe. You too? 

I always thought if I got  an official TOS violation warning, it'd be because I blew my stack, decided the heck with the rules, and I sent someone to a verbal hell with a handbasket.

Not for some goofy marginal thing like this.

Yeah, I thought I was helping.

It seems it's those complaining who are messing it up for the rest of us. The ones who truly believe in community and want to help. Lots of, "How comes posters get to advertise products flooding the forums but I cannot promote my own? It's the same difference" kind of site mail harassment.

I've bitten my tongue because I try not to whine and help where I can but I've seen said posters around.

It's funny when you're trying to give others a heads up on stuff they'd miss; alerting folks of freebies, which are always welcome, it's not in the spirit of community because you're "filling" the forums and its "annoying" yet when people make threads after threads COMPLAINING about the new Poser version that hasn't even arrived, yet they know it won't be great, and once it has arrived, they make threads pointing out how the new version sucks. Others doing the same with regards to the new Vickys and Micheals. You want to talk about annoying? That's annoying! Yet those threads see many many, many replies. It's amazing the amount of people who flock to those threads just to weigh in (complain) but that's considered community. Directing others to great products is not.
