We at ShareCG have noticed, and many community members have expressed concern about users who are abusing the system to generate additional page views by posting inappropriate material, posting their work in multiple sections when it truly belongs in only one, and potentially violating copyright protection.

Some generic examples include software that is not related to the CG community; posting a graphic in the 3d art section and then also posting it in  textures and materials; or posting minute variations on a theme, such as a slight color change that is not needed.

We are partnering with all the members of this community to make it a friendly and cooperative visiting place. We do not want to spend our time playing content cop.  We want to spend our resources improving the site and making it the best that it can be for all our visitors. 

With that said, I would like to ask you to take a close look at your contributions to insure that they are posted in the correct category, that they are useful and relevant to this specific CG community, and that your postings are not infringing anyone’s copyright protection. 

We clearly state in the FAQ, and on the upload page:

• Categorize correctly.
• Don't post something that is inappropriate, infringes copyright, or is spam.  This could lead to a suspension of your account.

On July 20^th we are going to perform a site audit to see if any of this material still resides on ShareCG, or resides in the wrong area and will take appropriate action.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for helping us mold this site into one that really serves your needs and the needs of the CG community.
