User contributions is for .... contributions. You need to post this in either "tools" or "job wanted"

FoxHound: This has been discussed several times and most users find it okay to see commercial distributions here as well

That's borring commercial should be in naother place, not contributions .
contribution means something given not for money
and the monsters are ok for RTS , for another type of game the first is very very low poly , too low poly for my taste

Even though i was one of the ones that thought user contributions should only be for free stuff , I'm starting to think posting producs here is a good thing as well , all the best stuff is the commercial stuff , the only stuff that can actually be usefull for a game developer , i'd much rather have someone selling a good model pack than someone giving away a model of a foot from a model they were making to learn modelling and never finished , so having commercial products is definately a good thing , look at the content from cubix studio , and loopix , and gamebeep , definately proffesional work at very affordable indie prices , i'm happy to see that type of work being offered at indie prices , and dont see whats wrong with this people advertising their products on user contributions , out of all the forums it sounds like it's the adequate one , i wouldnt click on the help wanted forum or the tools forum to look for assets , free or commercial , but when i click the user contributions then thats exactly what i'm looking for.

Definition of 'Contribution'
Code:
A voluntary gift (either free of charge, or payment)
That's what the dictionary says, and that's what I say. Found that definition in one of my home dictionaries

Well, for what it's worth, I agree with Orange Brat. I can't see what harm there is in posting new models for sale here. I also agree that it fits the dictionary definition of "contribution" well enough. I like to know about the availability of these things. For those trolling for freebies, it only takes a second to check it and move on.
Regards,

I'm fine with commercial contributions, but things like "STAY AWAY IF U SHORT ON $!" are a bit misleading, and you're going to surely get people complaining. You're better of approaching it more conservatively if you post in this forum, otherwise try in General Tools or Jobs Wanted.

forum community should adopt a [Free] or [Sale] add to subject line just as was done for other topics like Tutorials

I favor practical organization. I'm not claiming that users don't have the right to post products in the "User Contributions" category, nor am I arguing whether or not the definition of "contribution" partially validates that right. I don't think that a system that mixes "free contributions" and "commercial products for sale" is optimally organized. If I am searching for quality "commercial" products for sale for independent developers, maybe I don't want to wade through incomplete or inferior freebies of less than "commercial" quality. Alternately, maybe I am on a strict budget and am merely browsing through "freebies", perhaps, because I hope I might find something that might be useful later. I may not want to search through "commercial" products for sale when searching for freebies. I think that maybe the items might be more properly organized with two thread categories, something similar to: "Free User Contributions" and "User Products for Sale".
I think that the majority of the items in "User Contributions" are free, so there might be certain assumptions. Regardless as to actual intentions, people don't like to feel fooled, temporarily or otherwise. Some individuals might feel fooled when clicking on what they may have thought was a "free contribution" but was instead, an "advertisement for a product". This might be similar to selecting an item for reading which looks like normal email correspondence, but is actually spam.
If I was searching for quality "commercial" resources to purchase, I probably wouldn't even bother searching in the "User Contributions" thread category, unless I had accidently encountered items for sale when looking for freebies, which I remembered. In such a case, I would then have to wade through the "freebies" to find the actual product I remembered seeing accidently.
If you are searching for products to purchase, you may not want to waste your time searching through that which may be irrelevant.
If you are merely browsing for "freebies", you may not want to waste your time searching through that which may be irrelevant.
Of course, it may be in the interests of those that are selling products to post "advertisements" everywhere possible.

Maybe there should be a "marketplace" Section.. so this sort of mix up can be weeded out in the future..
Nice models.. but typically Contributions is for donated stuff. Just sayin.. it is what it is.
