Oh Lord, I can only imagine the crap that I am going to be under for posting to this, but I have to say that I support this idea and here is why... Standards is what everyone in this Community has when it comes to the websites. Renderosity upholds a standard when it comes to posts in the forum, or nudity in galleries. In this regard, 3D Commune and The GRC is no different. Even in Renderotica we have standards as well when it comes to posts and galleries as to what is allowed and what isn't. Why should the Online Stores be any different? I have always stood by the "Test" before "Sold" principles when it comes to the online stores that DSI runs. It is very important to do so, not just for the artist who created the Product for Sale, but for the customer that is going to buy that product. Granted, it may take more time before the product is released, but it insures that the customers buying that product would be satisfied enough with that product to return to buy other product in confidence that they aren't going to be "screwing the pootch" with their next purchase. So yes, something along these lines are indeed needed and I support it, just like I support our guidelines. Yes, it sucks when we tell "so and so" that the product isn't quite ready for sale yet, but allot of vendors end up emailing Diane back and say: "Hey, thanks, I didn't see that." rather than get upset. My only concern and question would be... How do you plan to bring all of these artists together and keep past/present politics out of it? I ask this, because you are talking about gathering a group of talented individuals together who have at one time or another been a victim of the past political structure that haunts this Community even to this day. I can assure you that there would be some of those artists that would completely object to my being in the Guild because of past feelings... and as a result, come a time when you will have to reject a potential artist, or be pressured to do so, by another artist... or some wont accept your invite, simply because "so and so" is already in your Guild. True, it is unfortunate that this would occur, however, it does and it should be something that you consider happening. I hope it works for all of you and I hope that it works out for the Community. But, I as a producer of product now, hessitate at joining your venture only because I think your idea would suffer if I played a part in it... which saddens me. Jack
