My thoughts:

First, I agree 100% with TG: just because people say they want something doesn't mean they'll buy. Case in point: would dphoadley purchase that hair that he keeps posting images of? Or will he complain that the $10 price is too expensive? 😉
I don't mean to pick on him specifically, but this seems to be the number one excuse from requesters: they want a certain, specific item, but then don't want to pay for it when a merchant makes it. Well, if customers aren't going to buy what they request, why should merchants make things on request in the first place?

Second, the complaint about merchants using "!!" in their folder name is an old one and it's been brought up many times. By this point, I'm surprised that we're not seeing folder names with 30 exclamation points. After all, the merchant has to force his folder to the top of the library somehow. :rolleyes:

Poser has supported nested folders since version 5, so there's no need to name every folder "Add On for John's Product By John": just create a folder with your name, then put a folder beneath it with the product's name. I know it may sound shocking, but customers will prefer a standard naming scheme better than randomly searching for a folder.

Third, the biggest issue of all: you say you want a moratorium on skirts and other clothing? That would be fine, but how do you stop the customers from buying? In my opinion, the only way to change what the merchants are making is to change the market: when customers stop buying V4 clothing, merchants will learn there's no money to be made, so they'll stop making those kinds of products.
