It would seem to me that just as many people should have issue with the cat crap.  I for one and sick of the cat pictures derailing damn near every thread that is ever of interest here.   It seems beyond rude to me.  To think that it is rational adults doing it is mind boggling.

Imagine a real life conversation.  Bill and Ted are discussing boost systems for thier project cars.  Maggie comes along and isn't interested in cars, or feels the conversation is pointless.  She starts screaming MY CAT MY CAT MY CAT MY CAT MY CAT - to prevent them from having the conversation.  IRL if I was Ted, Maggie would get gut checked.

So obnoxious people can interupt any and every conversation they want - BUT you can't say "there is a sale at Daz"  It's alot easier to scroll past a thread I dont want to see than to scroll past 18 retarded cat pictures to find what I want to read in a thread I am interested in.

"I miss the ones from last year which were for $5.  Period. I just looked around for some good $5 items. Granted, now, I'd buy much more than that... but still.. :>"

I thought that was really nice too.  A little customer appreciation goes a LONG way for me.  I think one time I just got something for 5 bucks when they gave that, and another time I probably spent 40 or so when I got the coupon.

To me it would make more marketing sense here to vendors and consumers for Rendo to give more of this type of coupon out and have a little better policy on putting things in the "clearance" section.  To counter the argument that there is just so much content here that they have to put things on clearance:
 
*require testers to actually earn that pay and stop passing crap 
*implement some standard of quality and originality.

I'm not sure that marketing is the strong suit of any of the ptb.  Not to derail the thread but I'm of the opinion that it is all linked.

The scalloped edges on the nipples are pretty awful.  Her face looks somewhat less ugly than it did previously.  I agree with Marque, BB and Miss Nancy.

Yeah Im pretty sure that critics would be out of business if an opinion constituted Libel.  It's whether or not the opinion is presented as fact, not whether or not the opinion is based on fact. 
Again with the legal expert thing..

wikipedia ftw

""Another important aspect of defamation is the difference between fact and opinion. Statements made as "facts" are frequently actionable defamation. Statements of opinion or pure opinion are not actionable. In order to win damages in a libel case, the plaintiff must first show that the statements were "statements of fact or mixed statements of opinion and fact" and second that these statements were false. Conversely, a typical defense to defamation is that the statements are opinion. One of the major tests to distinguish whether a statement is fact or opinion is whether the statement can be proved true or false in a court of law. If the statement can be proved true or false, then, on that basis, the case will be heard by a jury to determine whether it is true or false. If the statement cannot be proved true or false, the court may dismiss the libel case without it ever going to a jury to find facts in the case."

Rendo should have a permanant link to the wiki article as often as that is brought up here.

But for example:
If someone blatantly lies about a member in a forum.  It is obviously a provable lie.  Then the member takes that issue to Moderators and they do nothing, not even respond to the member.  Then rendo would be in liable.  

I think I have dejavu...

*""I understand where Dave-So is coming from and how he feels. Some Mods here IMHO don't do anything when an issue is brought up and when they do something it is against the person who brought it to the attention of the Mods. I think what is the problem here is the TOS gets defined differently by each Mod and by the End users.""

*Personally experienced this here and couldn't agree more. 
The real problem currently is that there really isn't anywhere else to go.  The other forums here aside from Poser are generally useless, The gallery is a joke - comment club running rampant, The Marketplace.....  well I just purchased another 45$ worth of items and one of the textures included in one is a very hard core sex scene.  (no it was not a sex related item) - not to mention the numerous copyright infringements that were within the textures.  Certain very popular venders can't seem to put together a single pose pack that doesn't change body shape, yet the marketplace is full of thier stuff.  Gogo testing.

But you can't say anything about this.  Nobody cares and all they will say is "If you don't like it leave."  Apparently Dave-So has finally decided that is what he will do.  Incredibly productive....

Yeah the Libel accusation was a riot.  People around here just make up legal definitions wherever it suits them, even in instances where precedent has not even been established - many many self appointed experts here - in many fields....

Sorry to see you go.

""Negative feedback about something as personal and emotional as artistic expression are very discouraging to me.

Constructive critique, and opinionated criticizing with a little veiled putdown worked in while at it are two very different things. I love the former, not just love, I eat it up. I detest the latter.""

Man I couldn't agree more.  I pretty much stopped posting images here or even really showing anyone any because although I enjoy constructive critique I do dislike having every image ripped apart.  It was basically as you put it "discouraging".  I can't explain it any better I guess.

Thank you very much for the link.  I wonder why that didn't show up in a search for "TV"

The plywood in that set looks really nice.  I would dl just for that.

Originalkitten,
I'm sorry it really does look like your point is falling on deaf ears now.  To me "Another fairy in big boots?...."  is not a critique at all.  I would think if this person was actually critiquing than there would be instances of him saying something was good - somewhere.  Instead going around the galleries saying something absurdly negative on each.

I guess we could look at it from another angle.  There are so many BS "oh my it's so fabulous ***** 5STARS"  in the gallery - maybe this guy represents the bad balance to that.  While often we complain about bogus comment club praises in the galleries, this is really the same but opposite.

I would love it if Rendo would implement something so you could block some users from commenting your images at all.  Then we could do away with the good and bad comment club all together - they are both equally insulting I think.*

*I guess that would give some the chance to be very thin skinned and allow only a select few to praise them to high heaven, but I think most would just block people who weren't looking anyway or being jerks.   The beligerant hobo isn't normally allowed to wander the live art galleries either =D

That resolution isn't very high either.  It's just a small picture - maybe photobucket is messing it up.  I think that is a good looking character for what it is but I don't think it's realistic.  I could see Judy being very useful in either toon renders or crowd scenes lacking detail.  I just don't see her as an all around center stage model.

I wonder if high rez renders of her even exist....

Anyway so far my mind has not been changed.  Is it just me or is there absolutely no variety in her nipple or breast size and shape? 

DP the filter applied to your latest render makes it difficult to see details.

sorry connie Apparently under new management and I couldn't so much as disagree with you without a thread lock.

""Now if a Mod does happen to see you, just lay down, roll over and give your privates a good licking. They love it! ""
