Her link was removed right before I posted it.

And, just to let you all know - since vendors are supposed to represent our community, they're held accountable for a bit more. We have a Vendor code of conduct, and she's broken that, so that's why all of this took place. This wasn't the first time she broke the rules. Thanks, everyone.

Those rules are not conductive to business, esp. the competition. DAZ especially, which handles PAs with kid gloves on the forums (this is a degree of leniency which I do NOT agree with however-- typically PAs just get a topic closure or no-actioned for things that would get non-PA posts deleted) Basic rule of commerce-- ESPECIALLY community-based commerce like Rendo and DAZ is that you do NOT piss off your vendors. This is not Amazon or Ebay, so an argument that "this is what other businesses do" does not fly.
I feel like a broken record here, but you would do well to look at your competition. DAZ treats their vendors with much more respect, and go way overboard in doing so. Rendo seems to fall on the opposite end, when they should be finding a happy medium between the two (I'm usually greatly opposed to double standards, but there's a huge difference between a double-standard of not deleting PA posts and a double standard of not banning PAs for forum misbehavior.
You know, I'm tempted to make a separate topic solely to repeat so many of the things I've said here, because it seems like the admins here just ignore it-- a non-hostile one unlike my posts in this and other threads, that simply lay out the facts such as the various reasons why someone would upload off-site then link to it here or in the freestuff section (there are SIX reasons for why they would do this, and possibly more)

she got an email from one of the admin marketplace staff, i think the manager or one of the marketplace staff. I don't know the names of everyone. stating they were out of the office part of yesterday and today and would get fully informed later today so someone is either lying or being purposely misleading anyone reading this thread can pretty much understand why

I don't understand what you mean, could you please clarify? Got an email from the marketplace admins about what? Get fully informed about what? Who is lying or being purposefully misleading?
