Okay guys, I'm Johnny and I am usually found hiding in the relative safety of the Daz forum. I just want you to know that you are not being ignored all your comments on this thread and the "final questions" thread are being taken on board. I guess the first issue of the original post was regarding the members worried about censorship and some members feel it was designed to remove anything we don't like to see. I feel this has been answered and it is a no go or we wouldn't be out to nearly 3 pages over the current concerns and the many posts each and every day over the entire site that have survived since this notification has gone out. It was only ever implemented more on the grounds of further clarification of the existing TOS primarily to stop fights and/or abuse of other members. It has been outlined by the members themselves there has been some pretty ordinary times on the walls of the forums over the years. It is not against the TOS to disagree with a comment or put your opinions forward.

As a staff member I can give you my personal guarantee we were never instructed to crush any members comment that we didn't like the look of and providing it was within the guidelines it would not be our place to do so. My monitoring has not changed at all.

Thank you

I agree with what you have written but with the greatest respect the term 'being taken on board' is a well used phrase here and to many translates to 'we hear what you say but we ain't the slightest bit bothered'. Your commitment and intent may be very different, I cannot tell at this point for, as a Poser user, I do not frequent the Daz forum not that I have anything against Daz, I frequent Hivewire3D a lot these days where many of the forums are a real mix of Poser and Daz users and I enjoy the threads immensely, particularly as there is no personal attacks.

The other point I would make is that blocking links to tutorials and freebies on other sites is clearly your right but it does not lay easily with the stated intent of making Renderosity less of a pure market and more of a community asset.
