I am so on the fence on all that has been said.

I've been an amatuer artist for to many years then I should admit to . I got into Computer Art 2 or 3 years ago, and 3D (DAZ) in May of this year(2007).

This site has been great for me. I've learned so much here. First by downloading stuff, and then by posted free stuff here. How to and How not to package an item. What people like and don't like... this list can go on... And I have so much more to learn. My goal is to have enough knowledge and skills to actually be at level to 'sell' my work. That would be a great side income when I get to retirement age (not that far away anymore). Plus I love doing this stuff.

And where else would I learn this, then by doing!

If there was a moderation aspect at this site that could say 'no, your stuff isn't good enough for this site', then how would I learn from my mistakes?

But, then again, I can see people are taking advantage of the system here, for obviously the view counts..... one item at a time of the same type of item, instead of zipping them up into one file... I see that in the beginning I can be accused of the same thing... My 'Swap Meet Necklaces', but then again, each necklace at that time took me days to do, and when I finished one I would post it. But I digress.....

I would really hate to see an overall, 'The quality of the work you have uploaded, does not pass our quality control' type of moderation. Maybe more of 'A number of your uploads are of the same type and each are of a size that we feel should be zipped together and then uploaded'

JMHO
