What it is is misinformation on the TOS.  We've clarified it, others have disregarded our clarifications.  For instance, in the first post of the "Going forward" post that is an announcement thread at the top, I clarified it as such:

However, to ease your mind, there are exceptions to the rule.  For instance, if someone were to ask "Does anyone know where I can get a pirate ship"? as a question in the forum, feel free to point them in the direction of pirate ships, both free and for sale. 

While you can't outright advertise them, and we shouldn't have allowed it in the first place, you CAN link to products, both free or for sale, should the need to answer a question arise.  

You may, also, post a 'how to' question in the forum if you've purchased a product or downloaded a freebie that you're having problems using.  We always recommend that your first line of communication is with the creator, but sometimes you find workarounds in using the product that the creator didn't think of.  It happens.

Yet, still, people spread misinformation.  Links are allowed.  Nowhere did anyone say that they weren't. 

Also, any suggestions need to be sent to admin@renderosity.com  They don't carry as much weight coming from me as they do from you guys.  I can want all kinds of forums with all my heart, but unless the community wants them bad enough, they don't happen.
