Well Cujo,

It seems that we 'Bastards' aren't wanted anywhere!

Here are some statements from the rules posted by the moderator of the Lightwave forum:

"I don't care if it is rendered in Lightwave or not. If you have a poser model as the focal point or the majority of your image...then that image is being moved...That is is the law gentlmen and ladies."

It's also been pointed out that "mixed media" is for images that are comprised of Photography, mixed with 3D, mixed with paintings, etc., not just different 3D programs.

I can understand how all parties might feel the way they do.. but while I think that your 'rant' is constructive.. and inspires good debate.. I think a moderator condemning Poser users, at a site like this, when the possibilities are just being explored, is deplorable.

I have told him so and apparently, so has the management.. because he has resigned. However, instead of bowing out gracefully, and letting the forum recover (the Cinema forum works great with no moderator), this guy is still there, threatening to remove posts that aren't 'constructive' (translation: don't agree with him)

I'm not sure what the solution to these issues is.. but I suppose it will involve tolerance.. and not little dudes who are on power trips.
