Quote - > Quote - > Quote - Actually, the "Freebie Posting Policy" was the creation of a freestuff forum.  At the request of site members.  Because ALL of the forums (not just the Poser forum, which isn't the center of the universe, by golly) were getting spammed with freestuff announcements, both by creators and non-creators alike.  No one said ANYTHING about not being able to post off-site freestuff, since, well, until today, all freestuff HAD to be offsite.

The only thing we said was that freestuff announcements had to be made in the freestuff forum.  A heads up could be made here, in this forum (or whatever forum the free stuff was relevant to), but the announcement and information was to be posted in the freestuff forum. 

I know this JenX, But I also know at the beginning it wasn't clear to a lot of people that we could still post off site freebie links and I'm guessing quite a few people walked away with that thinking still in their heads as the post you were replying to so clearly showed. Not everyone got the whole message.

I know this is going to sound really mean, but how do you misinterpret "You can't post ANY advertising threads (including freestuff announcements) in the not-freestuff forums anymore" to mean "You can't post ANY OFFSITE LINKS EVER"?   Sure, there were some things we were strict on, and some we went too far on, but we even clarified.
This sounds really mean, even coming out of my head, but I'm so totally tired of repeating myself and talking down misinformation.  Why is it that SO MANY PEOPLE in this community interpret things that AREN'T EVEN THERE?  I hate going through galleries, and reading people's image descriptions that say "Oh, I tagged this for nudity, even though she's dressed head-to-to.  You never know! I've been hit with that one before!"...then going to check their member record, and there's NOTHING ON IT.  NO warnings for anything.  But, the comments are all "Damn the Man!!" 
We don't have to do anything to make us look bad.  You all do it for us.  And it sucks, because no one listens when we say "wait, back up.  WHAT?  No, that's not even right."

Jen, Jen Jen... I DON"T! But I do remember all the heated threads at the time and posts from people who did. All I'm saying is some of them apparently never got it through their heads. Sheesh! I'm on your side here. I'm just saying some people never got the posting rules through their little pin heads.
