You know what bothers me about stuff like this? Regardless of the changes, the PTB rarely, if ever, makes an announcement when a change is made and says "We're going to make a change. Here's what we're changing, here's why we're changing it...any questions?"

In another thread one of the forum mods said the change was made to keep up with industry standards. I'd like to know what industry standards they were talking about.

What criteria was used to select the figures that were included in the "list"? Is there some significance to the fact that Anime and caricature figures were added to said list? Why is this change only affecting the marketplace and not the galleries? What is it about these figures that makes it ok to display them nude in the galleries but not in the 2nd and 3rd promo renders?

Of course I don't really expect to get any answers to these questions...although as members of this "community" and as customers of the marketplace we should be entitled to them.

Of course if we were respected by the PTB as members and customers, they would have announced the change and answered all those questions before the change was made. I'm neither for nor against the changes. I'm not asking that the PTB ask our permission to make changes. I'm just asking for a little respect. If you're going to call this place an Art Community, then start treating the members of this community with a little respect. Feel free to make whatever changes you deem necessary, but have the courage and the dignity to alert us and give us an explanation when you make them!
