I've refrained from posting my items in this section because I do think it usurps the seller rules. We have a selling forum and we pay as donating members to advertise. We also have seller review and product review threads. I always felt if I posted something I made, others would definitely ask about it or order it, and therefore I would indirectly be trolling for business. I don't like the use of this forum to say "hi guys, look what I made, and by the way, here's a link to my store and my sales thread" -- not fair for other vendors. The seller forum controls the # and frequency of sales threads and has a built in check and balance whereas this forum is turning into a free for all. I agree with LadyJane it's not about who likes who or who likes what. I know if posted a dress collection in this section it would take away sales from other dress makers or newer vendors trying to establish a customer base that some of the older vendors already have. There is enough business to go around without encroaching on rules that are designed to prevent abuses. I would love to see this section be a place to share ideas and tips, etc.
