I've already made the suggestion in the appropriate forum that the freestuff section be more specific on the usage of the item before downloading it. I don't know if this will be implemented or not or what all would be involved to implement it. I had nothing more elaborate in mind than a check box for personal only/personal-commercial alowed.
Now I have another rant. I just downloaded something that I thought was an object/prop/character only to find out it was a jpg with no readme file.
I wouldn't have downloaded it had I known, I wouldn't have wasted my time and there was no readme file to say whether it was the work of the person who uploaded it or not.
I could IM the member who uploaded it but I wanted to mention it here because it's happening all too much lately.
Please:
Include a readme file! If you don't you cannot come back on anyone for the way they use an item and criticize them. Be responsible. If you're offering something, I shouldn't have to seek you out for clarification.
Mention on the thumb or in the desctiption if it's a texture for something else, an object w/texture or just a background image. Such a courtesy will save your bandwidth and save everyone elses time.
Till (if) R'osity implements it, consider adding either:
Just a few suggestion that will same time/bandwidth and some people's sanity.
