Quote - Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to the list.
However that said , altho it is nice to mention or give credit, it is not mandatory that customers do so, nor should those same customers be penalized for not giving credit in their rendered images.
Not saying there should be a penalty. No, no penalty at all. However, if one is going to make the charts, one of the qualifiers should be giving credit. Consider how many people visit the images that makes the chart, if all those images have credits listed, this will promote the products used in that image - and will up the sales to certain vendors. In my own experience, I have made many purchases because of an art image I've seen and thought, I have to have that; hair; outfit, pose package, background, prop - whatever it may have been... because of the art work I was looking at.
This is nothing but - a win win for all around. Not a penalty. If you don't list credits, your art is still observed, commented upon, rated... however, it won't make the charts because the artist did not give credit where credit is due... purchased items in the art work, or free - doesn't matter.
