wow, what a long long thread this is. (time for me to make it LONGER g) Basically, we have TWO types of items available here. We have STORE items, and we have FREEBIES. It's important to know the differences between the two in regards to following proper and legal procedure in their use. If someone creates something that they feel very proud of for reasons of having put in many many hours of hard work then it is understandable that they would want to be credited for their work. Such a creation typically incites the creator to want exposure for their name being associated with the item as opposed to the artist who rendered the image being mistaken for the creator of the items contained therin. So, with that in mind, they created the item for recognition purposes and NOT for monetary gains. If someone were to spend the same amount of time and energy to create an item to sell in the store, then they have outlined their intent of being compensated for their work in the form of monetary rewards. It is then unjustified they should seek DOUBLE COMPENSATION by demanding credit for the creation since they've already reaped their rewards. My point is this: Although you may have your own reasons for creating things for others to use and/or have acess to, it is in your best interest and the interest of all that you decide up front which of the two reasons outlined here you intend for your creation to be linked to. If you want money, sell it. If you want exposure, then post it in the freebies section with a readme file containing your personal restrictions of use. But don't go off the handle and make rude comments on ppl's gallery images just because you didn't see your name pasted underneath in the list of credits even if it was a freebie. A simple instant message to the person posting it will usually suffice and they will most likely be willing to rectify the text to accomodate your request especially if you're polite about it and include such a request in your readme file. As a vendor, free advertising for your ability is NOT part of the transaction agreement. If you want to insist upon credit along with the money (double compensation), the rules of the store clearly indicate that such an added restriction MUST be identified in the advertising promo render either in the picture itself or in the text underneath so that ALL potential customers have the opportunity to know it's not like the majority of store items. Be aware that such restrictions tend to thwart sales.
