Clarification needed regarding gallery posts, please

[3WC]

I was reading the TOS and noticed something about gallery submissions. It said renders should be of an artistic nature and not "product shots". Does that prohibition include HiveWire products, or just other stores' products?

The reason I ask is that I just uploaded a ton of pictures to two albums for my products and WIPS, and they are basically all product/promo shots. Figured it might be easier to just have them all uploaded and then I could link to pictures from my threads if needed. But as they were being added, I thought to myself that it did seem to clutter up the gallery with "non-artistic" pictures.

So should I delete all those, or is it ok?

I was just writing a post to clarify this.

With this new forum software we have some options that we didn't have when we outlined our gallery submission guidelines. We now have several types of media galleries.

More in a bit.

Please let me know if this answers some of your questions Media and Galleries | HiveWire 3D Community

I still have to address your initial question

and make the appropriate edits where needed.

Thank you!

The part of the TOS you questioned pertains to this:

You already have an image gallery for your product shots on the product page in the store so you don't want to duplicate that here.

If you want to share one of your product shots in a forum thread, go to the product page, open the image, right click and copy image location - the use the insert image by URL function when posting the image in a thread.

Your albums should be for artistic renders of your product and not product promos.
