Ok, I speak straight down the middle here so i'm going to put the unanswered questions on the line or some I've seen

1. What are we allowed to link?
2. Where are we allowed to link?
3. How does it affect the affiliate program?

Now a point I'm going to put out here from my own point of view as a store owner in 2D digital graphics world and how this whole thing is coming across in my mind to myself as an owner.

**"If a beginner comes up to us to ask for help making digital scrap kits, would we tell them they only can buy from our store and be a designer in our store using our products? And only use the tutorials available in my store" **

My answer is NO because in this case it'd be detrimental to the store quite simply because the beginner would think "No chance!" Reason being we make from designers on commission and from sales they do choose to give us. Making people feel limited is NOT encouraging creativity. We direct them to blog tutorials, tutorials here for poser, tutorials in other stores, stuff that can help them in other stores.

Renderosity needs to realise that the MarketPlace and site depends on us not only as buyers but also those of us who are/were vendors to continue to flourish, the same way it is in our store.

No links means we can't help a beginner, or a low income finish off their art and discourages them in learning more. I know this better than anyone, I've been there, still am there and maybe always will be.

We need to encourage fresh talent to keep the 3D world going but right now banning these links are discouraging people from trying to help or being able to help.

Hope, I said to you in last thread and I will re-iterate it here. "Get to know the members and let them know you a lot better." Saying we don't know you will encourage other re-courses for people to gain an insight into who you are. They don't need to know all about you but they do need to know you
