As I said, I did search the poser forum first and found none.

Anyway, that clause is pretty darn broad saying that ANY post that contains unsolicited advertising is against the TOS.  So what exactly constitutes advertising?  Someone saying some software is on sale even though they don't work for that company?  That considered advertising?  The link Purchase Poser at the top of these forums could well classify as unsolicited advertising, I didn't see a post asking where to buy poser and that put in a response.  Its selling poser.  Wouldn't the thread Poser Debut - Coming Soon! also be classified as against TOS? (NO, I don't want that thread locked or deleted because it helps get new users into Poser)

This is what I get when I search for "messiah".  It turs up NO other threads other than this one, which BTW, postdates MY thread by 20 minutes.  Why no others that you say there have been 10 in the past 24 hours?
