Hi everyone-

I know that I am the Community Manager, but these decisions aren't just made by me, they're decided by the Renderosity staff as a whole. So, please stop saying it is just me who is enforcing this, it's all of us.

Lastly, personal attacks are NOT okay and you guys didn't see it, but 3-darena's last comment was a personal attack on staff (me) as well as the first one she wrote. There's a difference between "bashing the policy" and "bashing someone's character." For personal attacks, we have no choice but to lock it and send that member a warning.

Actually I did see it before she deleted it so did several others it was responded to and the response is still in the thread hanging like a loose chad in the wind, I have a copy of it and it was not a personal attack. I saw all of her posts as well as many others that are now gone, all agreeing with her. It's not just you Hope, it's the whole range of things starting with the site redesign to the dismantling of the Prime Club. Again, the way it was done, telling the community at large that it was essentially the vendors ideas to do so, which was quickly discounted by the vendors.

It's a lot of things, it's not being listened to, it's being told "okay if you don't agree, sure go ahead and leave we don't care" posts and attitude. Renderosity wants their community feel back? Then how about listening to the community, the vendors that make the money to run this place and the membership and customers who pay the vendors to run this place? Would be a good way to start. What will all of you do for jobs, when there is nothing left but skeletal remains of a community? Don't say it can't happen, I've seen it happen to other places. There are other venues they can sell with and their customers will follow them.

Presentation is everything when communicating with a myriad of personalities.

Just wanted to get both sides out there.
