Okay so one senior artist and a handful of newbies vs the other 80-90% of AA that all do their displays double-sided......
One thing I will say:
Artist Alley was first created as a means for amateur - semi-professional artists to display their work and potentially sell some of it; but mostly to get their name out in order to be discovered by a company or studio. How they display their work for others never mattered in the past and if you wanted to you had the right to do a double-sided display just like anyone else did.
You CHOSE to not use that right and rather than leave it at that decided that no one else should be allowed to either since you weren't doing it. A small group of like-minded individuals agreed with you and you took the issue to the coordinator making it seem bigger than it really was. Since none of the artists knew what was going on the idea passed their judgement. Now that the other artists know they are disturbed by it and that upsets you that your logic is not being accepted by the majority.
Would you prefer that everyone put one of those back displays behind them and their table/chairs just to make up for the fact that they can't display it on their table display anymore? Do you realize how much of a fire hazard those displays are? Yet because some artists need them they are allowed with minimal complaint since only a small amount use them. Or are you going to ask Fanime to ban those next to inconvenience those artists that are trying hard to find away around the new rule you had Fanime create for your own benefit because you either don't want a double-sided display, don't have enough work to have one, or are to lazy to take the extra 20 minutes to make one.
