While I agree with some of the things there are reasons for others you are not aware of or not thinking about. >Do put your textures in textures/yourname This helps me find things. >Do put your geometries in /geometries/yourname for the same reason Ok, not everyone knows how to organize thier stuff the way you do. In fact the majority don't. So if everyone names something the same thing for example supposed they name the folder and prop something like this RuntimeGeometriesDAZPeoplevicky then you got your vick model overwritten. I think that would piss you off more. When you name all the folders the same thing that can happen and I have seen it happen, i dont remember which prop it was from the free stuff but it would have overwritten something i already had. was something like swordssword.obj way too common Now you think someone that has put out thier work out there for free really want to sign on rosity and then walk a several hundred people through trying to fix it. Next if they do not make it simple for people to install they are going to get again 100 messages from people asking them how to install it or how to use it. First rule in making anything for the public be it a program or a simple prop is make it as easy as you can for the dumbest person you can think of. Everything else yeah I have seen those problems but you know I don't bitch about them. First off the stuff is free. and yes some of the stuff out there takes hours to do. These people giving away free stuff are giving you hours out of thier life so you do not have to spend hours doing it yourself or it is somethign your not good at. An example is the Tower construction kit. I know very well that took him a month + to make it of all his free time. he put it out there for free, No charge, and still some people bitch. You can always just go buy everything from Daz or build it yourself.
