Reading all that discussions, I come up with the idea to adpat the things we do in the 3rd Party forum and make Tags like there for Free and For Sale Contributions, e.g.: [SELL]Male Character [FREE]Rudder-Boat Model would clear up things before clicking on a thread too exited

I do too, but I dont see why we should have to put a [FREE] in front of a post in user CONTRIBUTIONS

No, no, my point is, this is for user contributions. As someone stated in another thread, contributions are... what was the word... 'free'?
So why should we have to state whether we are giving a contribution away... for free?

Hi Towelie! My answer was directed to the initial post from/to Michael_Schwarz.  But by the way - user contributions can (and will) be interpreted different. There shoud be two different topics: the shop, where users/companies can advertise their 3DGS-products and free stuff where free offers is a must. Maybe conitec is thinking about new topics sometime... mercuryus

Oh, well ,regardless, my answer stays the same. There are pros and cons to the 'For Sale' forum. The only pro I can find is less confusion in user contributions.
Against that is, how often do you see someone selling something in user contributions? Not often. If they were to add a new forum, I'm sure it would be wasted bandwidth that is hardly ever used.
My approach would be, all sales should be on your website, showcase some of them in SC1 and give the link to your site. Bret, or Clone45, did/does this and it worked perfectly.

I agree with Towelie you should showcase your work and then people can have the option to link elsewhere to buy things.
@mercuryus
Where in the world did you come up with a definition for contribution that didn't involve something around the term "give" or "free"? I'm sticking with the definition that I've always heard of so far and saying this is for giving to the community, I like the showcase idea for people who want to sell things.

, seems 'contribution' meaning isn't selling.
