Why is it OK for members to slam software or content manufacturers with vicious venom, but as soon as someone voices a difference of opinion without personal attack, on politics or religion, they are warned about the rules?

Why is it OK for an artist to put credits on an image, but any art that a vendor does is considered "advertising" even if no sales info is included?

As much as I can appreciate the efforts that go on behind the scenes, there are clear double standards here. You know what the main problem is, though? It has gotten to the point that there are so many rules and regulations that the members and staff can't keep up with them all.

The community spirit is really lost here .. has been for a long time. I just had to voice my opinion at an increasing trend of heavy-handedness in these forums.
