*>> "Creating a site like the one quoted would set up an elitist caste system among Poser users and anyone with enough cash to throw at the certification site would get certified!"*If that's how you approach it, yes, it'll happen. But if it's a site where the QA is a little more ruthless so customers dont have to come back and tell the vendor or the vendor site, "Hey, didnt anyone see this in testing?", I could see a certification program as possibly a good thing.

Thing is, there are very few "professional" vendors in the Poserverse: most are hobbyists just looking to feed that Vicky monkey on their backs -- and as such, sometimes a few corners are cut just to get the product out the door. Most users these days seem to shrug their shoulders and say "Hey it only cost me a few bucks, I can fix it myself"... but when it comes to that happening from a upper echelon vendor, you have to wonder why fixing would be necessary for someone who, by now anyway, would know better.

I dont think this would be the kind of thing one could simply buy their way in. At least I would hope not.
