think i'll start this off this way...

if you are a user here and visit the galleries, then you might have mixed, or strong, feelings regarding the state of things...

this post is NOT a place to dump those feelings... so please find some restraint, so that maybe the request can be heard instead of drowned out by a bunch of noise surrounding the request...

what i would like to see is Renderosity send out a poll to active members asking for their opinions on how many images per day seems reasonable to post to the galleries...

yes yes, i'm aware that this issue keeps continually to come up, and keeps getting shut down, but please, hear me out, as it is rather simple, my thought-process on it...

i saw in another thread where a mod stated that the 8-images-a-day rule that is currently in place came from "user suggestions".  i know that i was never part of that conversation, and i would have liked to have been.

8 images a day probably seemed rather reasonable at the time, truth told, as prior to that, we were afforded 5 images an hour, or something to that effect, if i recall correctly. so yea, incredible improvement on that front.

however, that was almost a year ago, and things change.  all businesses do yearly reviews, reassessments, of how well their policies are functioning for said business.

also, i read in a thread where a mod said that we do not want discourage people from posting, and make anyone feel limited, by negativity. [i'm paraphrasing, but think it is an accurate interpretation]

that's fair play, as well...

currently, 8 images posted a day IS also discouraging people, making them feel limited by negativity...

surely some kind of compromise can be made.

surely a reassessment of a policy from last year can be made.

so why not a poll?

why not let folks feel as if they have a voice in a matter that seems to be of at least some importance to them?

Rendo used to have polls sent out once a year to take user temperatures; polls that covered a range of things [predominately marketing, mind you, but sometimes other issues as well, and i think it made folks feel more a part of things here, like, well, a community...

so that is my suggestion...

to the PTB, please pass this request up the chain to Tim...

thank you for your time & consideration on this matter...

i really would just like everyone to stop feeling so angry, fed up, discouraged, frustrated, etc.

happy users are happy consumers as well, come to think of it...
