I also hope this rule does not apply for us that have our own web sites we use to sell our art & animations work on, Meaning I buy stuff here at rendorosity use it to create art and sell my finished art work on my own site and sometimes I will post link to to my web site where my art work can be found or where you can watch a animation I created like on YouTube.

I really hope that off site linking does not apply to these examples i just gave. if so then this is a really stupid rule. and I may have to reconsider how I buy and use content I use to create art work that I sell. because selling art work on renderosity is not a option for me when I make 30 minute animations , Book cover art , fan art and Manga art that I sell on my own site. .. or for posting youtube videos , or off site links to my social networking for free untagged renders I give away to draw in customers to my web site.. I really hope that this rule does not apply to this kind of off site linking. if it does its really a stupid one. and will hurt my business I do here

That's exactly what it means. No links to commercial sites. Not for freebies or otherwise. Period.

It amazes me that anyone would think that that rule would make freebie creators such as myself want to upload here. It doesn't. One can just read the dead forums lately and see how well these new rules are doing for them.
