Having one product (donation) in the Marketplace, and a few on a subs site, I thought I'd chime in. Thanx to Rena for bringing the subject to our attention. Personally, I think allowing "infomercials" on the standard Forums is vital to the community, and to R'osity as a site. Trying to divert "ad posts" to another Forum is a waste of time for members and admins alike. We all want all the Poser info we can get - that's why we COME here, folks - and we all learn to recognize the names of pure propagandists real quick. If you consider that o Poser is a commercial product (showcasing DAZ P4 models, too) o A LOT of the Poser stuff we all want to know about (and discuss in the Forums) is commercial (From Curious and DAZ to the humblest subs site) o Many, many "ad posts" turn into an idea and wish list for improvements and new products as members begin to reply - to the benefit of all of us o ANY Poser product (whether from the MarketPlace or elsewhere) that makes a Poser user happy makes said Poser user continue Poser-ing - which most likely includes frequent visits to R'osity. ... trying to remove all commercial-oriented info seems a waste time, information, creativity and energy. So please reconsider - we can all tell hype from info. The only time I ever made a commercial post (plugging the donation item), I titled it "Shameless Plug...", and noone seemed offended by it ;o)
