Frequently the product on the other site required or at least complemented something in Renderosity's huge store resulting in a sale for both Renderosity and the other site. Then advertising competing sites was banned and the forum was renamed "Marketplace" or something like that, and only contained announcements about new products in the Renderosity store. Pointless. If I wanted to see what's new in the store, I'd go to the actual store (crazy, I know). That's when I gave up on the forums, though I continued buying from the store. I didn't really come back to lurking around the forums until after all the recent changes to the site and Prime membership. I've stopped buying anything, but enjoy watching a good train wreck.

I don't see why you would have a go at Renderosity for this. There are nothing uncommon or weird about this. The rules that applies on Renderosity are 99.9% identical to those of other sites. On Daz3d, if you read there TOS is following the same rules, they wont allow links to other brokers either. What i don't understand is why this rule is highlighted as being a disaster on Renderosity, but with compared to for instant Daz3d, and most likely all the other sites as well, you don't mention it as being a problem?

So if we compare Renderosity and for instant Daz3d, they apply the same rules, but Daz3d aims towards DRM which Renderosity doesn't, so at least in that regard Renderosity would be a better choice for you?

As for the "censorship", consider that passionate complaints are a sign of a healthy community. It means the members care enough to tell you what you are doing wrong so you can serve them better and ultimately make more money, keep your jobs, etc. If the complaints stop, it isn't because everything is OK, it's because no one cares anymore. If the complaints are censored, you will simply drive away your most passionate supporters, the ones who care enough about your business to spend their time trying to help you fix problems you may not be aware of. Embrace the gift of complainers. They will help you grow your business.

People can complain, why is it seen as you can't? And again its no different than on other sites.

This is from Daz3d TOS for instant:

2. Criticism should be directed towards the subject or topic at hand, rather than an individual. Posts which make blanket, unreasoned criticisms - of other members, of Daz 3D, of products or applications, or of merchants and their products - may be removed in a general effort to control negativity.

3. Posts that are obviously designed to provoke, shock or anger will be removed and action taken as needed. This includes posts attempting to provoke a “site” or “app” war, the excessive use of strong language, or any content designed to create a negative emotional response.

4. Attacks towards any member, moderator, admin, or Daz Staff will not be tolerated.

So they don't allow "bad" behaviour either, but complaining in a civilized manner, is not "bad" behaviour. Its not indicated by Renderosity nor by Daz3D reading there TOS.

Again, i find it difficult to see in which regard Renderosity is so "BAD" in this regard compared to the other sites when they do exactly the same?

Renderosity decided to change there site, this might in some regards have been for the better or the worse, that is what it is and hopefully they will improve area where it didn't go as well and yes its annoying during the time its like that. For instant the tool for adding posts are a bit annoying i think, The area in which you write is to small and the tools a bit limited. But its not the end of the world, you can still make posts, add images, links etc. and people will reply to you if they have something to add. That you don't get notifications when someone replies to a post is really annoying as well, but hopefully they will fix that as well. But regardless of this, sticking to the topic at hand which is about the TOS and not the website, this simply doesn't differ a lot, if any from any of the other brokers.
