I'm told by a poser forum admin that I need to take down part of my signature. It has a commercial link to a different site (a link to my items at CP). According to him the TOS does not allow that at all.

I've read through the TOS and cannot find that anywhere at all. What he qoutes me is this section: [quote]Commercial images are welcome in the galleries with following restrictions: 1. Posting of commercial images/links is limited to active vendors and products in the Renderosity Marketplace. 2: Commercial language is limited to text in the Notes area and may not appear on the actual image. [/quote]

That is not talking about forum posts or signatures at all. According to him signatures are the same as forum posts, I'm OK with that, but this sections is about neither. It clearly is about images not about posts. One can post commercial images with 2 restrictions, that's what it's about, plain and simple.

Of course you can take that out of context all you want, but the TOS still does not forbid me to have my signature as I do have it. OK, he may not like it and he may misinterpret the TOS, that still doesn't change the fact that this pertains to images only, not to forum posts or signatures. Or are mods suddenly allowed to once again make up their own rules? It happens a lot in the poser forums, mods tend to make up rules as they go along and people are treated quite differently in that section as they are elsewhere on the forums. There are a number of rules there mods enforce that are not in the TOS, perhaps this is one those?

So please, be so kind and make sure my signature stays in tact as it is, unless you choose to not abide by your own TOS.

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....
