I agree with Mosca, the number of postings does need to be limited. The high number encourages a sort of "complacency". IMHO. If members were limited to one a day or three a week, then this may encourage people to sort the wheat from the chaff, as it were. Being a photographer, principally, I see the same kind of things happening in the Photography Gallery. There is, it seems, a high proportion of animal photos (nothing aagainst that) in relation to other subjects. Perhaps this is, as was commented earlier, "a trend", and they will move to the next trend, whatever that may be, soon enough. Remember, with art, one has the choice of whether to view a piece or not. If it holds you, then enjoy it. If not, then move on to the next. It is down to choice! IMO, I do think there are indications of elitism here. If members are so concerned as to the "standard" of work, then surely those members should take a hand in encouraging and developing the artist/hobbyist creatively to raise the mark. I do not profess to be an artist myself. For me, Poser is a release away from my main vice of Photography. If gives me an alternative to use to release me, for a few hours, from everyday life. A fantasy world, a sci-fi world. As long as its not here, I don't care! Anyone checking my gallery will see that my freelance photography work involves staring at pretty women all day(mostly). Similar to the "Vicky-in- a-temple" syndrome. Although the subject matter is similar day-to-day, I feel that each piece should be viewed as a stand alone work, regardless of the similarity. (Up to press, it has not affected sales). This is how the Poser work should be seen. Some members do 3DCG/art/postwork for a living. Most, however, do it as a release from the everday world. I do not think we should judge them so harshly!! Ziggie, keeep posting mate!! OK, end of rant, now heading back under rock!!. Dave
